Toontrack Superior Drummer 3.0

Advanced drum plug-in with unimaginable possibilities for shaping drum sounds and drum setups. Superior Drummer has gradually developed into a studio standard because of its fantastic sound and flexibility, and because it contains precisely the advanced features that are fundamentally necessary to create good-sounding and tailored drum tracks. With ver. 3 moves beyond what was thought possible with a drum plug-in. It is the legendary George Massenburg who has been behind the buttons at Galaxy Studios in Belgium, and you can hear it. Superior Drummer is of course based on Toontrack’s extensive development work which is based on traditional drum recording, and therefore you also find the possibility to make the same adjustments of microphones, replacement of drums and all the other tools that are available in a traditional recording . This will make it feel as if you are mixing a real drum kit – there are just even more options here. And the possibilities and selection of drum kits have become even greater with the new gigantic 230 GB included library. Superior Drummer also includes the possibility to use grooves, and contains a wide range of genres, intros, fills and much more that should probably start the inspiration. There are several expansions aimed at a wide range of genres, and Superior Drummer can also read libraries developed for EZ-Drummer.
