Good gate plugin for drums?

[TheStoryteller]

Hey all,
I will soon mix an album for a friend, and I realize I don't know anything about gate plugins (mainly for drums). Which ones are considered good / bad? I'm on PC by the way.

 

[Seizure.]

I myself like the new sonalksis one! its quit easy and good!

If you're after a free one the Digitalfishphones floorfish one isn't too bad. One thing I don't like about it is that it has no solid metering, so you can't tell what you've set the threshold and all that at. It's all in the ears. Also it does a weird thing with taking down the volume if you set your threshold too low, but hey... it's free hahah.

Aside from that the Waves C1 works pretty much as solidly as any gate that doesn't have look-ahead.

This is my favourite:

And it's free,

Kjaerhus Golden Gate.

Ultra smooth sound even with very fast attack settings, side chaining capabilities (including midi), ducking mode... 'Nuff said.

Kjaerhus Golden Audio Gate is fantastic, amazing and affordable.

I demoed the Sonalksis and it was decent, but I prefer the GAG-1, not too mention its wayyyyy cheaper ($79 vs $260, f that).

*edit: lol. Posted at the same time ^*

OK, thank you guys, now I have some stuff to try. Some free ones, plus the Kjaerhus one (which looks nice and easy).
