As with the all the Superior Drummer 2.0 sound sets, there are a range of range of mic choices, too: two sets of stereo and mono ambience mics two sets of overheads a ‘snare trash’ mic three choices of close-proximity snare mics, and a range of kick-drum options, all of which can be mixed using the Superior Drummer user interface.

Metal Foundry users can build a virtual kit from a choice of 12 different kick drums, over 40 different toms, 15 snare drums, and probably enough cymbals to sink a small fishing vessel. The Metal Foundry contains, as you might have guessed, drum samples suitable for use in rock and metal music. Works with EZdrummer, EZdrummer 2, Superior Drummer 2 and Superior Drummer 3 (optimized for 2 kicks, 1 snare, 3 toms, 2 floor toms, 3 crash cymbals, 1 china and 1 ride cymbal).The second expansion pack (SDX) for Toontrack’s virtual drum software, Superior Drummer 2.0, has been announced. A collection of solid, in-the-pocket grooves for any basic rock or metal song.Ĭombined, the three drummers in this MIDI collection showcase a cross section of modern rock and metal drumming at its very best. Peter Tisell‘s part covers the more traditional side of the hard rock spectrum – basic grooves and fills, leaving out much of the double-bass frenzy. A solid, versatile performance, ideal for modern metal in any shape or form. Gene Hoglan, known from Strapping Young Lad, Testament and many others, presents a full-on metal assault: frenetic double-bass drum work, intense skank beats and over-the-top fills – perfect for death and thrash metal.ĭirk Verbeuren (Soilwork, Scarve) lays down some of his patented blast beats, carpet rolls and skank beats but also delivers some classy tom grooves and crushing mid tempo. Combined, the performances in this package paint a comprehensive picture of drums covering anything from traditional, basic hard rock to extreme metal. It includes performances from three drummers: Gene Hoglan, Dirk Verbeuren and Peter Tisell (formerly Fredander). This collection of MIDI drum grooves and fills comes from the Superior Drummer sound library expansion The Metal Foundry SDX.
