EastWest Drumkit from Hell Multi-Format

Been making computer music for over 10 years.
I'm a sound designer - I make all kinds of music.
Mainly use Cubase for sequencing and Battery for this CD
have used it for about 1 month now
Monitor via Event monitors

I'd say it was worth it although not as great as all of the mags said it was. Some of the Battery samples themselves are just as good. DFH is mainly useable for Rock kits although it can be playable in pop and RnB. there are four different kits: Sonor, Pearl, Ludwig, and Ayotte and they are at 10 velocities as opposed to 2 velocities of most sample CD's.
It also includes some loops which are sub-par and childishly programmed (kick on 1, snare on 2, 16th hihat). also there are 'maps' for Battery, Halion, LM4, Giga, and ESX24 - strangely, at least the Battery fprmat for Mac, wasn't GM mapped. But there are over 1,000 individual wav sounds.
Most of the sounds are very nice but the 10 velocity layers still don't provide a nice authentic 'snare roll', it's still very drummachine-like and not as real as I hoped.

All in all I think its a very high 7 out of 10
