Superior Drummer 2.0 Review

Pin It

Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0 “The New York Studio Legacy Series” is a total renovation of the previous Superior engine. The Toontrack devlopers applied the same attention to detail and musicality as with the original version.

Superior Drummer 2.0 was re-worked for improved use with e-drums with increased efficient utilization of sample layers and better loading times. It offers MIDI tracks played by Nir Z which can be found in its new MIDI engine and arranger, EZplayer Pro, and ca also function in standalone mode through Toontrack solo. UK-based software developer Sonalksis has also loaded Superior 2.0 with a 5-band EQ, high and low pass filter, compressor, gate, and transient designer filters.

The interface is similar to EZdrummer with its handling and layout but it gives the user many new layers of capabilities to produce much better drum tracks. Superior Drummer 2.0′s samples were recorded by Pat Thrall, Neil Dorfsman, and Nir Z at Hit Factory, Avatar Studios, and Allaire studios, NY. The three have worked with artists like Meatloaf, Celine Dion, Nick Lachey, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Beyonce, Björk, Kiss, Joss Stone, Genesis, John Mayer, and Chris Cornell.

These samples are amazing sounding the bleed is such an important part in making drums sound natural.

I use this in all my songs. It sounds great for every type of music, and if it doesn’t sound like you want it to, there’s probably a pack that exists that does sound right for you!
