Superior Drummer Crossgrade

I'm just amazed with Larry's "deal findings".........no website is left unturned. 
 
BTW, this is a great deal on the crossgrade for Superior.

Two words - indie folk. I need that heavily reduced. It's the best sounding one they've had in years.

Superior is my GOTO, hands down! I like Addictive, but it hasn't found its way into any finished projects yet. I still noodle with it, but when the work gets down to the wire I still find Superior has worked its way into the final. Maybe I need to invest in some more XLN kits. The ones that came with Addictive are really good, but I have an extensive library for Superior.

I'm curious - is Superior your go-to drum kit because of interface ease of use? Better sounds? Faster/easier to set up and get the sounds you want/like? Because of the variety of your library?

Layering drums (X drum) and the built in pitch and envelop adustments, routing...the sound of the room mics.  All make the product exceptional.  The one thing I have found is that the HH are always mixed so loud, and you have to run to all the "open" mics to turn them down.  Getting radical with the pitch change loses realism pretty quick, but is great for kicks and layering in with the snare...whatever.   On my older system, it can sometimes take a bit to load on initial boot up.
The NY vol 1 and 2 are steller...imo the best expansions and looking to get NY 3 for myself in the future.  And I think the metalheads love the Drumkit from Hell...  I like the snares in those kits too.  ping...ping...ping!!

BFD3 is my go to drum vst for all the above reasons and as for quality of effects BFD3 comes with 30 of them
although some are more useful than others.
 
I'm not trying to put superior down but as some people here are of the opinion you can't have too many drums there's a Demo for anyone who wants to try it.

I like both Superior Drummer and BFD, with BFD3 Fxpansion have raised the bar, those new kits are astounding. I think BFD has the edge if you want to mix drums from different expansion packs.
 
Superior is still my goto because I have my Sonar templates set up and I know my way around, I am still learning BDF3
 
 

I googled superior drummer 3 back last summer some time and found no info on it at all.
No one even talking about it on the toontrax forums.
You'd have thought someone would know something, like even if it's in beta stage ?
According to Angus_FX BFD3 was three years in development before they started beta testing.
 
I'm in complete agreement as to which is ahead right now.
I'm salivating over their new expansion BFD Imperial drums right now, the demo's sound really nice and my wallet is straining at the leash

The toontrack guys have been pumping all sorts of stuff out, instead of updating their program.  All these MIDI packs, producer presets and expansion packs. 
I guess they feel comfortable about their main product.  If I had any preferences, it would be a better GUI, expandable screens, and now that I've got the hang of it... I guess it doesn't matter to ME so much...but a little easier work flow with the X drums and mic assignments.  It's not tough, but could be easier for new customers...maybe.
 
Oh yeah... when auditioning individual drums off the Electronic expansion for EZD...which is a HUGE list, no way to scroll.  The window always closes after a selection and you have to reopen.. pick a new... on and on... hard to quickly find what you're looking for.  I mention that because you can import that kit into Superior.
