Im guessing as this is the New York Studio Legacy pack, it has the kits it does. I'm sure there will be more metal ones coming too - having said that I'm sure these would be fine being used for metal.
And also..I would have liked to see some more snares and kicks from different companies on this release, but hey, I still love ToonTrack so it's ok. This thing looks like it's going to be rediculous and I absolutely can't wait to spend my money on it.
Guys, with the ADSR (attack-decay-sustain-release) controls, you can make any snare a metal snare, so I wouldn't worry about that. As soon as I get it, I can show you if you don't believe me.
