I LOVE LOVE AD2!!!
Ditto. I'm really looking forward to experimenting with the Metal,
Steve, what are your thoughts on the Metal pak? I do like Metal, but don't really play a lot it.....I'm more of the Black Velvet style hard rock. Can you use it in other styles as well? (I like quick, easy, good sounding drums.......that's why I love these AD2!!!) :)
Honestly, Mesh, I haven't had time to really dig in yet. My basis for selecting it was what I heard from the online demos. I went back and forth and back and forth and back and forth between many of the kits trying to make the decision. Maybe it was more a difference in the beats rather than the samples themselves as mettelus mentioned, but one thing it does have that other kits do not (out of the box) is more toms. Plus, I was also looking at the actual drums included in each kit for more variation, and the metal kit gave me that as well.
FWIW, Black Velvet and Fairfax 1 were my first two choices last time around because I just really like the sound of both, and they're fairly different at their core. But I think these three new kits should turn out to be winners as well, at least when used in the right context. Metal-Hop, anyone?
Anyhoo.... thanks again to Cakewalk for this generous addition to SPlat, for some of us it's a
really big plus.
