Better to use 2-3 SDX releases from 2019 and later, as they are overall superior IMO.

In general you can ignore the stock library sounds, I haven't even installed those ones on my SSD. The jazz kits are very good, but you could get those in the cheaper Big Band EZX library. I know many like Decades, but I'm not a fan of that one - esp. I haven't tested the last couple of rock SDX releases though, but the combination of Death and Room of Hansa is great, as you get some additional useful snares and splash cymbals from Death that can be used for the Marble Room kit. My other favorite is the main drum kit from the Marble Room in Rooms of Hansa (which also has great pop and Beck-type rock drum kits on the dryer side - named under Vocal Booth).Īnyways, there are bound to be different answers here, as people have varying tastes and own different SDX releases. Get creative with the stacking feature in Superior Drummer 3 to create a unique drum mix using elements from the several rooms available in The Rooms of Hans. If you spend some time tweaking the drum kit, it will sound great for rock (and most other genres). Be warned though, as this is a metal library all the presets suck IMO.

The Yamaha Custom drum set in Death (from Death and Darkness) SDX library is excellent, and a finely sampled drum kit overall. Rooms of Hansa boasts four individual room configurations, including the iconic Meistersaal, which was captured in 5.1 surround with two additional height/. On September 20, industry legend Hugh Padgham (Phil Collins, Genesis, The Police, Sting) delivers a massive new SDX.
