Okay, I bought this last night and today I installed it, along with Cory Pellazari’s presets. There are two full acoustic drum kits and they sound excellent. There has been an update to the Kontakt file since Cory’s review, but I don’t know if they used Cory’s excellent recommendations (they really should have). So here are my initial observations:

Both kits sound great and natural. This absolutely does not reflect a $10 sampled acoustic drum kit. It sounds excellent. My only disappointment is that it doesn’t have a general MIDI mapping, or if it does, I haven’t figured out how to find it and the manual doesn’t explain it. That said, you can re-map things to the way you like them, but I did take for granted that the kit would have a premapped General MIDI option. As far as I can see , it doesn’t. Beyond that, this is a great deal.

As far as the UI, yeah, it’s not pretty and it’s dated. But it’s straight forward, so that wasn’t a deal breaker for me.
