SD3’s interface is logically laid out, the centre occupied by a graphic of the kit, where each instrument animates when triggered via MIDI or mouse click. There’s no need to drag the library over to clog up your computer, it runs fine off the SSD – this convenience meant I could do much of the review on a humble MacBook Air. SD3 is available as a download, but if the download size scares you, for an additional €189, Toontrack ships an SSD with the library pre-installed, which is how it arrived here for review.
Beyond the kits themselves, SD3 features a built-in MIDI editor, MIDI beats ready to use in the form of ‘grooves’, a full-featured mixer with effects, macro controls, and audio-to-MIDI conversion. The kits are from Gretsch, Ayotte, Pearl, Yamaha, and Premier, and the core library includes 230GB of 44.1kHz/24-bit samples, with an additional 350 or so drum-machine sounds. It’s built around recordings of seven acoustic kits recorded at Galaxy Studios in Belgium (“the most quiet recording space of this size in the world”), by renowned engineer George Massenburg. Superior Drummer 3 is designed for musicians and producers who want to be in complete control of the way their drums sound.SD3 runs standalone, or as an AU/VST/AAX plug-in. While EZDrummer offers record-ready sounds, Superior Drummer provides raw samples that you can tailor to your own preferences. Unlike EZDrummer, Superior Drummer offers practically unlimited options for sound manipulation, including microphone positions, room settings, and hundreds of professional quality drumsto choose from not to mention adjustments such as microphone bleed and drum heads. Superior Drummer is the drum VST that offers complete control over sound design. This means songwriters can spend more time focusing on the writing, as opposed to spending hours finicking over minute sound adjustments. However, EZDrummerbenefits from having mix-ready sounding drums right out of the box, that requires minimal adjustments in order to sound good.
The difference between EZDrummer vs Superior Drummer is that EZDrummer is considered the ‘lite’ version of the two, and therefore offers limited creative control.
