If I wasn't so satisfied with S2.0, I'd give this a try, just to see (hear?). But I can't imagine this thing rivaling S2.0. finally, a company that put some effort into making their mp3's sound good. I like the original kit, and the Nir-Z snare.ĮDIT: Just went to listen to the Drumcore demo mp3's. I'm working on some tracks that make their drum sound better than their own demos do. But nothing compares to it once you've mastered it.Īlso, the demos on the Toontrack website don't do it justice, either. I've owned it since the day it was released and I'm still having trouble with tweaking, compressing, and level adjusting. EXCEPT for the fact that despite the new interface, S2.0 is still more complicated to mix than it needs to be. So really, unless you've got a negative bias against industry leaders, there's just no reason to avoid Superior 2.0 or Toontrack in general when it comes to drums.

And if I had to pick a 2nd one, it would probably be EZdrummer, yet another Toontrack product. Keep in mind, before S2.0, the industry standard was DFH (Drumkit From Hell), also from the same company (Toontrack). And I can tell you without fail that the most serious product out there right now is Superior 2.0. I've tried or own Superior 2.0, EZdrummer, BFD2, Session Drummer and Addictive Drums. I compare it to learning a new language – if you just memorize a sentence/words do you really know what your saying? It takes time and effort to truly understand it all.Just listened to Jamstix demos, and thought they sounded awful on their website. I find this more digestible and advise other to do the same if it feels overwhelming.

I then go back and try to take a deeper dive and truly learn the theory behind what I’m playing and not just “memorizing” the shapes but really understanding the intervalic value and understanding what I’m playing (I happen to be learning triads). As I move through the course I make sure to take breaks in between learning the course material and try to apply it to both writing and learning other musicians music. Personal side note as someone who has play guitar for over a decade and never learned a lick of theory. Hope to become my own best version of musical self on my guitar journey. I love feeling the progress and finding connections through your lessons and my everyday playing. I’ve learned so much here and on youtube and I have you to thanks Darryl! Thank you. Not to mention his tasteful playing is such an inspiration to my own.

Darryl is an incredible teacher and player that has heaps of wonderful insight to the basics of guitar and music theory.

I haven’t finished this course as I’m being as thorough as possible but its already provided so many incredible tools and lessons for hours of endless learning.
