Coupled with its 8-articulation sampling, a nice ride trigger / module really make it a joy to play. Just the right balance of resonance, shimmer, and tip definition on the bow and a bright pingy bell with just the right touch of overtone. I've been using it this past week and I've really grown to love it. None even close to 10/10 rides in these libraries to my ears.If you pick up D&D, check out the 20" Zildjian K Custom ride. The biggest challence with these sdx is to find a ride that I would really like. It is actually very punchy and absolutely the best in the sdx I have (Core, Progressive Foundry, Metal Foundry, Rock Foundry). I have Decades and I think the most shining thing in it is the room. And all of the crashes, splashes, chinas, and stacks sound great in my opinion.įor anyone on the fence, I would absolutely consider this a great library expansion to SD3 and I certainly wouldn’t be concerned that it’s a one dimensional “death metal only” library. 8 articulations on the rides and 27 on the hihats make for some really good lead hand work. Ideally, I’ll pick up Decades at some point and will likely layer samples from Decades and D&D for a full and punchy sounding modern kit.Īs an additional note, pretty much all of the cymbals are winners. Don’t get me wrong, I think Decades is a great library too, but for my tastes, I think this has a more Metal/Rock/Pop vibe sample wise. Decades has some fantastic classic kits with some really timeless tone and warmth, but it was definitely lacking some of the newer kit samples and has a softer attack profile in my opinion. I would say that for those looking for a little more punch out of their kicks and toms - this is a solid winner. Between this, Decades, and Orchestral, it’s been a very solid year for them. You can absolutely tell that Toontrack is really putting a lot more into their SDX’s this year. The detail and depth of the samples, number of articulations per instrument, and mixes are all top notch. I actually picked it up over the weekend.
