most realistic drum VST I've ever heard
There are a few comments about the awkward layout. And I reckon I get it, if you're trying to play it with a keyboard. But if you have a sampler pad, or have the time and patience to sequence manually, then it's not so much of a problem. Or you could do what I do, and play it with a keyboard using just one key for each drum, then go back in the sequence editor and move the notes up and down to the different hits. If you're looking for something to play with a generic mapping, you're kind of missing the point of this library. Sure he could've just mapped the different zones as round robins. But the idea is getting precise control of the different sounds from hitting the drums in different places. If you're looking for a something you can just use to cook up a few beats with a keyboard, there are lots of more simple drum libraries that will work just fine for that purpose. With that in mind, I think the layout is pretty well conceived the way it is. Most other mappings would've been a counterproductive. Regardless, layout aside the sound of these samples more than makes up for it, by far. I've downloaded so many drum libraries and some of them are pretty good, and have little bits that I like. But none of them really fulfill the duties I need them to. So I had been opening several drum libraries and working out ways to make them blend. But now that I've found this one, I don't need to do that. All my projects that need realistic acoustic drums get this library in lieu of a recording session with a real drummer. And really, it's good enough that if used right, you won't be able to tell the difference. Simply fantastic!
