Toontrack SDX The Rock Foundry

This SDX was the first to be released after the release of Superior Drummer 3.
The kick drums are instantly great without any processing or effects. The toms are also far better than anything in the Superior Drummer 3 core library.
It has a nice big but not distant ambiance to the kit piece making it perfect for big heavy loud rock tunes.
The snare drums may not be as meaty and full sounding as I would like. The tama bell brass sounds less than half as good as the core libraries Tama for example. They seem to be missing a lot of the bottom snare mics bite and rattle.
The Toontrack presets are great and it has a very convincing Metallica Black Album preset called LA 1991 which is a lot of fun to mess around with.
The bonus mono kit hasn?t been very useful thus far but within time I may find a use for it.
Overall it?s a great addition to your drum sounds and perfectly aimed at the big studio heavy rock sound.
