n00b Superior Drummer 2.0 question

[MT01]

Does Superior Drummer 2.0 only come with one kit, “The New York Studio Legacy Series”, and is this kit any good for metal?

 

[Temps]

It only comes with the one kit with a couple different drums and cymbals for each position. Everything but the kick, IMO, sounds great for metal. The kicks are a little annoying though.. if you have Superior 1 you can use that kick instead.

Yeah, I have NEVER heard a kick from S2.0 that was better than "eh..." - but that's why APTrigga is awesome!

Yeah, pretty much what the others said. Just replace the kick with one of the awesome samples that are constantly being posted on this forum and you're done. I think drum libraries usually try to provide kicks for rock and hard rock music (except DFHS 1.0 and Slate).

 

[MT01]

Would I be able to use Superior to just load another kick (such as the ones posted on here) or would I have to use another plugin?

If I need another plugin, then what would be the easiest option as I'm a n00b?

 

[Metaltastic]

You can't load external samples in S2.0, APtrigga2 is the best bet!

I think the snares in S2 work great for metal, and the toms are godly. The kicks don't do much for me and usually get pretty heavily replaced - also the cymbals seemed much more natural in the older one. Much prefer the snares and toms in the new one though.

Thanks for the feedback.

Looks like I'll be going down the Superior 2, DFH & Drumagogg route.

I LOVE the kick in S2.0... I use the 24", felt beaters, and make sure the velocity is at 127.

 

[MT01]

Is there any way that I can "export" the grooves from DFH into the cubase drum editor?

 

[MT01]

Doh!

Drag and drop.
