I'm just amazed with Larry's "deal findings".........no website is left unturned. 
 
BTW, this is a great deal on the crossgrade for Superior.

Superior Drummer 2.0 is my go to drum VST.  Once you get the basics down, it really is awesome to work with.

Two words - indie folk. I need that heavily reduced. It's the best sounding one they've had in years.

Superior is my GOTO, hands down! I like Addictive, but it hasn't found its way into any finished projects yet. I still noodle with it, but when the work gets down to the wire I still find Superior has worked its way into the final. Maybe I need to invest in some more XLN kits. The ones that came with Addictive are really good, but I have an extensive library for Superior.

I'm curious - is Superior your go-to drum kit because of interface ease of use? Better sounds? Faster/easier to set up and get the sounds you want/like? Because of the variety of your library?

Like with any software, once you learn to use Superior's in depth program, you can fine tune the drums to your hearts content and get them sounding just the way you think it should be. It's fairly quick & easy to get set up (even for a plug n play user like me). I found the Grove 3 tutorial to be very useful in learning how to optimize and work with Superior.

Layering drums (X drum) and the built in pitch and envelop adustments, routing...the sound of the room mics.  All make the product exceptional.  The one thing I have found is that the HH are always mixed so loud, and you have to run to all the "open" mics to turn them down.  Getting radical with the pitch change loses realism pretty quick, but is great for kicks and layering in with the snare...whatever.   On my older system, it can sometimes take a bit to load on initial boot up.
The NY vol 1 and 2 are steller...imo the best expansions and looking to get NY 3 for myself in the future.  And I think the metalheads love the Drumkit from Hell...  I like the snares in those kits too.  ping...ping...ping!!

Ease of operation, quality of FX built into the mixer, control of bleeding on each channel, and great variety of kits in the library. The X-drum feature is really rad. It is quite overwhelming when you first start learning how to use it. There are a lot of deep editing features in there to manipulate. Once you get the hang of it you can slam out a kit in no time. Lastly, the sound quality is so clean. Not putting down AD, but it tends to sound grainy in a mix. Of course, if you want dirt you can get that as well. The kits are a little more expensive, but I have not purchased one that I didn't think was worth the price.

BFD3 is my go to drum vst for all the above reasons and as for quality of effects BFD3 comes with 30 of them
although some are more useful than others.
 
I'm not trying to put superior down but as some people here are of the opinion you can't have too many drums there's a Demo for anyone who wants to try it.
