SSD4 at audiodeluxe.com even cheper with 15% off coupon through Aug 31
Steven Slate Drums 4 on sale at audiodeluxe.com now through end of Aug and an additional 15% off with coupon code: HOT15
$143.65 electronic delivery. List Price is $399.00 (which I have never seen it sold for that much).
I don't know that I really need another huge drum library. I keep hearing that SSD4 is THE BEST. I already have Maschine, Stylus RMX, NI Komplete Ultimate (70s, 80s, etc), EZ Dummer, SD 2.0.
Any recommendations? GAS intervention?
Anyway thought I would pass along the info, maybe someone is looking into buying and it's a relatively cheap price.

I have SSD4 and Superior Drummer - as libraries have become more available for SSD4 i find myself using it more and more often - I do think it sounds better than Superior and is now just as easy to use.
It is far more like Superior than maschine i think (which I have never used) and Stylus which I have used but do not find very useful. The NI stuff's OK but I find a little over processed, so again I do not use that much either.

I wouldn't say that SSD4 is "the best", but it's certainly debatable and compares very favorably to SD2 (my personal favorite for real drums) and BFD2 (which I like a little less than SSD4). These three instruments are much different than Maschine, Battery 4, and Stylus RMX, none of which really excel at realistic drums IMO. For that price, SSD4 is getting into no-brainer territory, even if you just want a different variety of drum sounds and grooves. It sounds great and it's very easy to use - even easier than SD2 and BFD2 IMO - but it's still very versatile.

Holy ****! I think I got mine for around $99 and I thought THAT was a steal! Wait, was that for the Platinum version, or the EX version?

Any of you SSD4 fans have the CLA pack? How do you like it? Worth the extra cost?
Cheers,

I have SSD4 and it sounds great, but having said that I don't use it much. 90% of the time I end up using Superior Drummer, with the Metal Foundry and Custom and Vintage SDX getting the most use.
I think SSD4 is probably the best sounding package straight out the box but I have my templates setup for SD2 and can usually get the sound I want.

yea I've ben playin with superior drummer 2 more and more. certainly more than my other libraries and plugins get used.
one of the reasons I was looking into SSD4 Platinum was all the content. I haven't bought a bunch of the addons for SD2 yet like Roots, or Vintage. seems like SSD4 has a bunch of that already out of the box. brushes etc.

I have the CLA pack and end up using this more than the standard stuff - I do think Slate sounds very good and to my years sounds better than Superior straight off
