Hey, jb101.  I love the Nashville kit.  It is a superb acoustic collection.  My favorite snare in the real world is the Black Beauty snare.  The Nashville kit sample of the Black Beauty is more "snarey" than you would expect:  lots of bottom mic snare rattle.  That is good though because I don't have another snare sample that sounds quite like it.

The toms, kicks, and cymbals are fantastic.

I wish EZ Drummer had a way to tighten or loosen hi-hats, but Session Drummer doesn't have that feature, either.
 
The vintage kit is understandably a bit more muffled sounding but it is good for a number of things.

Hey, konradh, glad you're enjoying EZDrummer.  I've found the Nashville Brush kit very usable too.
 
I also have the classic, which is great - I particularly like the snare.  Took me a while to get the concert toms sounding how I wanted, but love them now.  You get three different kits with it too.
 
I also have the Claustrophobic and Twisted kits that I only brought for about a  tenner each on offer from Time and Space.  I have used twisted  many times as I like strange sounds, but Claustrophobic really surprised me.  Didn't think I'd use it much, but it's great.  It really cuts through a mix.  The examples on their site do not do it justice.  On its own it doesn't sound that good, but in a mix it's killer.  I've used it in several different styles from Prog Rock to Pop and it has fit in.
 
I like the look of the new Rock Solid, but quite fancy the Jazz, Funk, Vintage, Americana and Latin kits.  As I warned you on a previous thread, the EZX are addictive.

OK, bro, you owe me some money since I will now have to buy The Classic expansion.    I overlooked that originally but I checked it out based on your comments and there are some good sounding kits there.  Actually, I appreciate the suggestion—thanks.

I am still amazed there are no Ringo MIDI files bundled with the Vintage kit.  I can make them myself, if I want, but it would have been natural to have a few liverpool grooves in there just for fun.
 
UPDATE:  Just ordered The Classic via electronic delivery from Sweetwater.  For only $39 USD, it was hard to resist.

I can't give you the money, I need every penny for more EZX... 
 
Hope you like it.  It's also nice to have the four toms instead of three.  Those Sweetwater deals do make them hard to resist.
 
Let me know what you think.  Have fun.  You can never have enough drums..
