You can purchase and download directly from fxpansion no need to use a third party vendor.

Not at $25 I at can't. It's £50 over here which is $77.


If they do ship it over here it might well not be much less when you include shipping and tax costs.
I've contacted audio midi and am waiting for their response.

No you're quite right. The OP was asking that but I had drifted off topic.
I was asking cclary about the z-pack deal he had mentioned.

Thanks for the reminder on that Z-Pack, cclarry. I'd forgotten about it. Sadly they won't ship to me but I might be able to get a friend in the US to receive it and send it north. It pays to have some Yanks on yer side. ;-)

Here is my personal thing about virtual drums.  It is cool to have an option for overhead mics, but if that is the only way to get the cymbals, I do not like it.  The reason we don't completely separate cymbals (and all drum sounds) with a live player is because we can't very easily.  For me, bleed is never desired.

Do either or both of these have separate cymbals apart from overheads?  The stuff I read on the toontracks site seemed to imply that cymbals were only via OH, but possibly it was just not stated clearly.

Cymbals are in the OH indeed. Quite easy to solo the cymbals (either as dedicated tracks or as midi events if you have all your midi drums in a single track) before you render, though.

Personally, I like the bleed, but to each his own.

Thanks, Rain.  Having both options is idea.  I may pick up EZ or Superior.  I like Session Drummer 3, but it is not the ultimate and you can never have too many drum options.

BFD Eco has three cymbal channels that are dry. You can feed as much of each cymbal as you like in to either the room or overhead channels. 
     
I mostly prefer little or no bleed but it depends on what I'm trying to achieve.

As Rail suggested, if you want to pan your cymbals in EZdrummer and process them individually you would need a separate instance.
This is not good IMO.

Are you not even tempted by a deal that is a fraction of the cost of EZdrummer & Superior and includes a free kit from platinum samples? 
You can get both for $49 right now whilst EZdrummer will set you back $145.
Here's that link again BFD Eco deal


Or do you have them already. I would strongly recommend you give the demo version of BFD2 a try if you want flexibility and you like tweaking. As far as I know it's the only one 
you can actually download a demo of so that's another good reason to give it a try since you can't try any of the others.

Thanks, twaddle.  Checking it out now.
 
Update: Nice demo.  The cymbals are particularly impressive, especially the ride.
