Yeah, that's an INSANE price, and was MORE than worth it for me.

I purchased SSD EX last night, and finally got around to downloading and installing today, and as far as "rock" kits go... well, let's just say I don't want to use Toontrack's "Drumkit from Hell" anymore.

I replaced my default "rock" kit in my live virtual rig, and I must say, the Steven Slate stuff instantly lifted my sound to the next level. Much more lively and realistic.

Toontrack's "Jazz" and "Cocktail" kits are still quite great IMO, but when it comes to rock, the Steven Slate Drums are in another class.
