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.
