Andy Timmons created drum samples?
Andy Timmons, the guitarist?
?? Yeah, I was just wondering the same thing. ??

True enough. Hell, Matthias Eklundh engineered a bunch of the Toontrack sample libraries.
...but a quick Google search and poking about Andy Timmons' website failed to turn up anything about him having a sample library. Maybe there's one that was used on one of his records?

Mattias Eklund... Not Mattias Eklundh... Yeah small difference, but crazy enough, they are not the same person. Eklundh is the guitar player and Eklund is the guy from Toontrack.
Ha! All the more reason for the guitarist to always include the "IA" between his names, I suppose.

Shows how much I know. I saw the name on the box and figured it was the same guy, that he was an engineer when he wasn't shredding or making bizarre noises with the whammy bar.

Hahaha I made this mistake myself and asked Mattias "IA" Eklundh at NAMM if he was involved with Toontrack at some point, and he says he gets asked this all the time. According to "IA," in Sweden being named Mattias Eklundh is "...like being named John Smith in America."
Nevertheless I felt like a total n00b fucktard for asking him, even though he was totally cool about it.
I tried out it out (its the Platinum Samples Andy Johns pack, for those unfamiliar with it), and thought they're pretty good for straight up rock but probably not so much for metal as they're pretty heavily EQ'd (especially in the 3-10k range) out of the box so there's not a ton you can do to change the vibe aside from compression. If I was recording a straight up rock band I wouldn't hesitate to replace/blend those samples in. If anyone knows how to mic up a big sounding rock kit, its Andy Johns (or Joe Barresi, who also did a Platinum Samples pack).

The Baressi samples are incredible. All tracked through a vintage Neve console directly to tape with some light processing using killer outboard for flavoring leaving you tons of room for post. I wouldn't cram these into the rock only category. They are whatever you process them to be.
I have Evil Drums for BFD and it's quite nice. I still find myself going right back to EZDrummer though. For realism it's hard to beat Evil Drums, but the type of music I write doesn't call for realism. I've used Drumagog to trigger BFD/Evil Drums to replace drums for bands I've mixed, and it sounded great, but then again it wasn't metal it was indie rock. I'm not saying it can't be done...you could easily use Evil Drums for some heavy music, but I'm too impatient and I get to where I want to be with EZDrummer quicker.
I'm waiting impatiently for Superior Drummer 2.0. From what I recall you can load your own samples right?

How are you using Drumagog to trigger the Joe Baressi Evil Drums?? Can you load those samples into Drumagog to trigger or are you triggering them with Drumagog through BFD?? I was under the impression that the Baressi samples were just BFD compatible...
You can use Drumagog to trigger BFD. That was one of the newer features (about a year old) added to Drumagog. I just load Evil Drums in BFD and use Drumagog to trigger BFD.
