I don't have any experience about Superior, but from what I've gathered, they're supposed to have some really nice natural sounding drum samples. They've got a nice system going where you can choose how wet or mastered sounding those samples can get (the different room settings), so there is quite a bit of versatility there. The mixer is pretty well done and you can EQ, compress and distort the samples all within NI if you want further tailoring of the sound. The stock samples really cut in the mix and with a better (and free nonetheless) upgraded NI Kontakt player, things run smoothly. There was nothing wrong with 3, but I get the impression they're always reinventing the wheel. They could have charged for 3.5, but they were nice and gave it as a gift to their customers. One thing I really like about the company in general is that they are responsive on their forum (very good support), they're constantly working on improving things and it's of no charge to the customer. With 3.5 they've added some nice touches (they've revoiced a few things - the cymbals do sound better). The Steven Slate drum samples are pretty excellent. Personally I think this is a big flaw in the design (if its associated with Kontakt or not). And if you're routing the samples to specific tracks on your host arrange page, the overheads aren't there. there is no way to control the overheads other then turning them either on or off. My only major gripe other then what TRA mentioned is. 3.5 version is better indeed, even though it can still improve. They're pretty damn good and very easy to work with. I have both.+ 1Д«ut what keeps me using SSD is the sounds of the drums. I like the sounds of the cymbals way better in Superior Drummer.Д«oth are great, but very different.

The samples are more raw than SSD which is a plus at times, and a minus at others. Superior Drummer - I can do whatever I want with very little machine gunning.

These are already a finished sound so what you hear is what you get.to some extent.

The 3.5 update is supposed to help this, but I've heard from people that have upgraded that still have issues with it (I haven't upgraded yet). SSD - In my opinion it's hard to avoid machine gunning in SSD (especially hi hats and toms) when doing metal or fast music.
