My 2 cents..
For my taste, when it comes to rock drums, I seem to be mostly stuck in a pre-1980 world. As I've mentioned, I was particularly anxious to hear the vintage drum kits. These days, my favorite kit is Platinum Samples' Rock Legend for BFD Eco. I'm also getting started with XLN's Indie Kit.
Well, those new kits really aren't that bad, but they still have that typical Toontrack "enhanced" type of sound which I always struggle with.
Using BFD and Rock Legend, it's almost like my song mixes itself - my choice of guitar tones and bass tone just seem to blend in naturally, there's an effortless cohesion. With EZ however, I can't seem to get things to work together as good - it's almost as if you were trying to get the instruments on Led Zeppelin II to work with a drum sound on the Black album by Metallica.
As a matter of fact, first thing I do with most Toontrack drums is to run a low pass filter on everything, to get rid of some of that energy in the higher frequencies. But the end results rarely work anyway - the drums sound strangely hollow and lifeless where I'd want them to be full and hyped where I'd want less of them.
I often feel like the fact that the Toontrack fellows are big on Heavy Metal shows even through their non-metal stuff.
But I know that they do work quite well for others, just not for me.
