Re: best drum software?????
I have BFD3 (been using since v1.5), SSD4, Strike and the NI KKU kits.
Strike has caused me quite a few midi timing problems (reported and acknowledged by AIR over 2 years ago & still no fix) so that very rarely sees the light of day. SSD4 is great to just throw on when you need something fast but in my mind BFD is the best sounding and most editable out of all of those. The groove editor is great - I'm on Cubendo mainly these days but I still use the BFD editor as it has some nice features for writing drum parts. It's only real problem is the horrendous looking interface. It's ugly. REAL ugly. The NI stuff is ok in certain situations. I'm using AR80's Drummer (and Arturia's Spark) for a multi song 80's live project at the moment. I've never really been tempted with Superior Drummer but one feature I sorely wish was in BFD and SSD is Easy Drummer's groove search feature (SD bizarrely seems to be missing this?). I've nearly bought ED in several sale offers over the years just for that feature alone.

Re: best drum software?????
Depends on what style music you are doing too. SD has 3 out now worth checking out. You can demo their styles on their website. Slate gets a great rock/hard rock sound but haven't heard his new stuff in the past few years.

Re: best drum software?????
What functionality in BFD3 took a hit?? I know you did not like the UI, but I have been using BFD for at least 12-13 years, and found BFD3 great. 3 has far more capabilities than 2 did.

Re: best drum software?????
I saw it had better features, but it was like learning a new software instrument all over again.
I use it when I am not recording real drums

Re: best drum software?????
Going to assume you did not use BFD 1/1.5 then move to 2?? Moving from 2 to 3 was minor in comparison to that.

Re: best drum software?????
BFD3 for me! Completely controllable and customisable... Control bleed interaction among the many many amazing options for dynamics etc. It's great!!

Re: best drum software?????
On the contrary, I found that BFD3 opened up a whole new world. Never looked back!!
