Well for $25 you can't go wrong...and the snares will be there when you get to them...

This is a great value.  Even tho I have ECO and BFD among many others I still think having ECO DV is a plus.  I would love to have an ECO that I could load ALL my slots with cymbals from Gen16 and use with my other (EZD, SD2, SSD4, etc...) kits.  And so I shall.

I agree....

I can put all my cymbal parts there and beats in whatever host I choose to use...it's a win win...

And on the flipside, it'd be nice to free up the Eco cymbal slots for non-cymbals… say toms or percussion (my vote)...

The original Eco will only let you load cymbals in to the cymbal slots so I'm guessing Eco DV will be no different. 
Only BFD2 allows you to load any kit piece in to any slot.

That's a nice idea. I hope it works. I just ordered this and looking forward to using them alongside AD.

  Very tempting to jump on this, but I am happy with many of my cymbals already and I am wondering if I'll ever use this extensive a collection of cymbal samples.

Right… but in Eco you can swap the percussion slots for toms and/or cymbals (w/ some limitation on available articulation)… Now that I have Eco and Eco DV, I'd just as soon run all my cymbals in DV, becuase I generally want more than 3 cymbals anyway. So now my 3 cymbal slots in Eco go unused… Not a huge deal, but I'd like to use the unused slots for percussion, for those times when I have more than a few percussion pieces… I guess I could just go with two Eco instances, but then my cymbals are divided across tracks… Ahhh…. I guess if that's the worst of my problems, then things aren't really so bad, are they? :) 


BTW, I just got my copy of z-pack after ordering less than 24 hours ago and selecting 2-day delivery… :)

Ah, thanks for that Keith, didn't know you could do that.
I tend to stick to BFD2 so I guess there are a few things in Eco I have yet to learn.
