hey Carl if an intro price for the Zimmer collection is in this price range then yes it could be good. But I have not seen any prices mentioned anywhere as yet. Where did you get that info from? Just curious that is all.

THE PRICE FOR THIS AWESOME HISTORIC COLLECTION WILL BE £399 WHICH WE WILL REDUCE TO £299 FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS WITH AN ADDITIONAL 25% OFF VOUCHER FOR FUTURE PURCHASES.

Right there...

Ok 399 pounds is $700 here and even at 299 pounds still $500 here. As I said it will cost a bomb. The NI offering is less than half the price and if it is mainly cinematic drums you are after it is going to do the job seriously well. Plus it contains a rather impressive interface for generating the rhythms as well. Something I don't think the Zimmer collection has. (not sure on that as yet)
 
 

I am already ratholing the funds... this is frickin' awesome!  Plus, it gives me the 25% off coupon to get Albion 3 which, if you've watched Danial James vid, is totally rad...
 
Just discovered Spitfire after discovering Sample Logic and snapped up all four of the $79 blowouts at Musician's Friend a bit ago... All while my rig is down... oh will it be fun come December.... Hope it rains so I'll be able to hole up in my studio for a month and write 24/7 for a month....
