Session Drummer 3 expansion packs are they for the original session drummer that comes with Sonar and how well have they been received.
 
Also does anyone use EZdDrummer with Sonar X1

they're for Session Drummer 3.  there have been 3 versions of session drummer.  the first one was just a GUI for placing MIDI loops into a project and not much more than that.  Session Drummer 2 came out with Sonar 5, I think, and Session Drummer 3 came out with 7 or 8.

the expansion packs are for Session Drummer 3 only.

yes, I use EZD with X1.  did you have a question about it?

Yes.

Just wondered how it worked or whether they were difficulties with it as I have Sonar X1 (not sure if you knew) and plus I have heard good things about it and how flexible it can be with a DAW application.

So?????????????????????

EZdrummer works well with X1.

Superior Drummer (which can play EZDrummer packs) has more "mixer" capabilities than EZDrummer's mixer. However if you're going to create a multiple outs folder for drums and use X1 or 3rd party plugs prolly no need for Superior's added mixer capabilities.

JMO, YMMV. 

yep.  works well.  I have only ever opened Session Drummer 3 just to see what it is and how well it was made, to help others, etc.  I have never used it in a project because I have EZD and Superior and a lot of expansion packs.

EZD is very EASY to use.  I loved using it for many years before superior - but even now I still use it for percussion instead of opening an instance in Superior.

I find the drop zone hits and drums to be better than session drummer (dont shoot me) but I have had more success with it when producing.

can you set EZD to different keys (lets say when you are using MIDI keyboards)???
 
But saying that I have never used the expansion packs as I think Sonar Studio still uses Session Drummer 2 if I'm right.

in sonar you can set any hit to any key you want using a drum map.  and that's not tied to a softsynth like EZD or any other one.

yes, I think you are correct, the Studio version has Session Drummer 2.

Yes! After switching to Toontracks (EZ and Superior) I can't even look at Session Drummer anymore. In my opinion, it's just not in the same league!

Do you reckon that EZ would be a worthy buy and how often do you use them. I mean I would be using it for R 'n' B styled music covering Jazz to modern to gospel. Wiill EZ cover these Genre's?
