I couldn't wait to transform this SD2 work to SD3. I used this file to create a preset in SD2 which is useable in SD3. He also just purchased SD3 but had not had time to mess with it so he used our familiar SD2 with Avatar Natural kit with a couple of custom touches. I had 4 mini tunes in a medley we are working up and Dave laid down the parts. I then replay bass and other instruments to his drums and thus the project begins. He is adept with Superior and an awesome drummer and he creates an awesome MIDI drum tracks using his Roland kit. I lay down loops and ideas to songs, rough draft guitar and bass parts and send off to my drummer friend in Dallas.

with all the kits included and all the super pro engineers involved this result is close to laughable. Which, by the way, are nice capabilities but. I was able to 'build' a couple of ok kits blending drums from one kit to another and opening up the room mics just a shade. High on a kit someone dug out of his brothers closet. Like I walked into some garage band from Jr. To me 90%+ of these drum kits and presets sound like absolute crap. A cold not fuzzy feeling kind of creeped it's way in.

I then started cruising thru the drum kits and presets. I got used to it in EZ Drummer and it's great they incorporated it into the new build. Tap to find is a fantastic feature for guitarist structuring songs. The mixer, especially due to resizable windows, seems useable for the first time.

On the plus side the new GUI is pleasing to me. I spent 4 days downloading entire package and started cruising thru the drums and features. After what seems to be over a decade with SD2 I looked forward to the new GUI and technology they had to have amassed since the inception of SD2. The Hitmaker SDX is available to purchase for $179 USD from distributor PluginFox and at the Toontrack store.Not feeling the love yet for Superior Drummer 3. Of course, should you want Hugh’s mixes right off the bat, there is a hefty amount of his custom presets included. This gives you an awe-inspiring canvas of acoustic and electronic sounds that you seamlessly can blend, mix, match and surgically modify using the broad set of onboard design tools available in Superior Drummer 3. On top of that, the machines were amped through a PA system in the same ambience as the acoustic drums and captured using a similar microphone setup. To add an ever more organic and period-correct flavor, all drums and machines were recorded to tape before converted digitally. All in all, six unique acoustic kits were sourced as well as a massive collection of classic vintage hardware drum machines – all captured in the breathtaking ambience of the immaculate sonic marvel that is the British Grove Studios in London, UK. In this SDX, Hugh set out to create an all-encompassing source of acoustic and electronic drums inspired by not only the ’80s and ’90s eras, but also one designed to reflect some of the most known drummers and album mileposts in his body of work. Toontrack has announced the release of the much-anticipated Hitmaker SDX, an all-new expansion for Superior Drummer 3 by multiple-award-winning producer/mixer/engineer Hugh Padgham (Phil Collins, Genesis, Sting, The Police).įeaturing some of the greatest kits ever played and some of the most iconic drum machines ever created, the new SDX was recorded to analog tape making use of four legendary vintage consoles.
