I’m talking about 22 microphones on the drum kit! 3 microphones for the kick drum, 3 microphones for the snare drum, 1 hi hat, 1 microphones for each of the 5 toms, 2 for stereo overheads, 2 for ambient close room mics, 2 for stereo ambient mid room mics, 2 for stereo far room mics, 1 ambient mono room mic, and my favorite – 1 ambient bullet mic (think overcompressed and distorted).
These sounds are fantastic! But beyond that, you get complete control of the sound by having access to every single microphone you would ever need in a high end recording. For anyone who has had the opportunity to track a studio drummer in a nice facility, they will know what I mean. The thing that impresses me most about this sampler, is that it really gives me the vibe that I am working with professional drum tracks right out of a million dollar facility. This sampler is quite complex, and although loading it up and choosing a preset will work for users looking for simplicity, it has enough depth to keep “tweakers” busy for hours on end. Superior Drummer 2.1 has done exactly that. As a drummer myself, it takes quite a bit from a drum sampler to impress me.
