Looks really cool. Obviously!
But, what's the deal with this?

Doesn't sound too professional, but I kinda understand their frustration. Anyway, they are still on the game so it shouldn't be that bad.

That's what I thought too. Completely bush league. Not what I'd expect from them. Kinda like when Michael Jordan was all pissy and spiteful when he got into the Hall of Fame.
Are they mad at BFD or something? They mention competitors but don't specify. Any thought who it is in reference to?

typos ftw
My guess is anyone and everyone. Slay the competition. AD bad! BFD bad! Fire bad!!!

Good eyes Beast - didn't catch the typo. I guess it's a fitting close to a sad post.
I wouldn't be surprised if they wipe it clean soon - I am sure others have noticed the tone and content is beneath them.

Drumkit From Hell was their first product right? When was it released? Oh... and who did they steal their mapping page from??

More than one typo on that blog, and yeah it's really lame, totally douchey publicity move, there are a million ways to make the same point (which is perfectly valid) without being such an asshole

Drumkit From Hell, as I understand it was originally a sample CD. Then BFD1 came out. Then the first Superior came out.
So whilst Toontrack do indeed seem to have been the first to do a large format multi-sampled drumkit. They weren't the first to put it in a convenient and easy to use plugin format.
Now go and checkout the mapping page in Superior 2.0 and Addictive Drums and try to tell me they didn't draw inspiration from BFD2.0
Not that I'm complaining. I like all these companies. But to try and put yourself above all of them as if you're the original one and everyone else is a copy is slightly misleading.
Peace.
BFD1 came out in 2001 iirc. Superior 1 (aka DFHS) came out in 2002 or 2003.
Drumkit from Hell predates all of them, and was just a sample CD without any kind of instrument.

No it wasn't. It used INTAKT... which was released 2003/2004. So either way, I am still right.
No getting around it - Toontrack were not the first to offer a plugin ala BFD, Superior, AD, or EZdrummer....
EDIT: Actually, it could have been Kompakt too. But both were released around the same time.

Well, the funny thing is that the engine is called Intakt, and in DFH2, it says Kompakt

Yeah!! Madness! :Spin:
Anyway... Metalheads is pretty damn good. When I want to just write some music with our drummer and don't want to faff around with loads of plugins to get him a decent drum-sound, I can just throw MH in there and it's very lightweight and sounds good enough for demos. I dig it.
