that's one thing I was wondering about.  I assumed they were all different from what's in the packs, but I guess not.

I was interested in the songwriters packs since, I too, am a complete simpleton when it comes to drums.  every time I try to create drums from the included loops I always get reviews telling me the drums are "too busy" or "what in the world does the drummer think he's doing there?"  or "were the drums programmed by bapu?"

The "worst" I've seen are the ones in SSD. It's like competing against a Neil Peart wannabe who decided to make your cover of the Beatles' Love Me Do interesting for drummers.

To me it's well worth the $29.00 USD although the majority of the packs I purchased were priced at $19.99 USD.

Assuming this was meant for me... (it's not like you to omit the quotee), I assumed that we were talking about the Roots combo. MIDI loops that are part of an SDX  package can be purchased separately in some cases (which I have done with the Roots midi). The "Packs" such as the Songwriters series have nothing to do with the SDX midi and are original. There's lot's of patterns to get you started on misc. styles. I highly recommend them and have purchased all of them with the exception of "heavy metal" oriented material. To me it's well worth the $29.00 USD although the majority of the packs I purchased were priced at $19.99 USD.

So I guess there is a market for simple.


Most of the patterns I use are usually so simple that even I could play them on a V-Drum. I can actually play them on the keyboard. And I don't want anything more complex than that - just "realism", little tiny variations.

Steven Slate Drums.

I just tried them again in EZ Player incidentally - maybe I was harsh, you can sometimes salvage a measure or two out of a verse or a chorus here and there. ;)

ok - I don't have SSD.  Toontrack are the only drums I have except some really low end kits playable in Kontakt I bought years ago.

"bapu"
Ja but you're not a drum slut like I Am.

"Beagle"
BTW - I HAD to go ahead and buy Custom and Vintage while it's only $79.
