R.I.P Sean Reinert. Thanks for this one last gift.

To this day still god tier sample library

I contacted Toontrack support service because it seemed to me that the "Kick in" and "Kick out" microphones in the Darkness library were not correctly listed on the site. The information on the site has not been changed in a year. Then I contacted Tue Madsen. He confirmed my guesses. But Toontrack still doesn't want to change anything. So for those who have this library: "Kick out" is actually 602 in the hole. "Kick in" is 901 inside on a pillow at the bottom of the kick drum. Ludwig alternative "kick out" is Electrovoice RE20. I hope the information will be useful.

I can't believe Tue is selling Antfarm. That room has produced some of my favorite records in the last 10 years

I love it! Thank you, Toontrack! Not only for the product, but also for these awesome videos! \m/

What I really like is how they sampled lots of different hit this time. So for someone who do a lot of blast beats it tremendously helped.

everyone involved is just GOOD. Thanks again Toontrack

Wowzers, this sounds freaking amazing! You guys never cease to impress. Hats off to the team and all that were involved.

The world needs a Tue Madsen Pool Impulse Response to plug into a DAW

Sounds amazing guys!!!

Sean's touch takes the Death library to a place that cant be manufactured

Mark Lewis did a great job with the Death part. Damn, the Sonor kit sounds AMAZING ! Easily recognizable from the others, very punchy and ambient. The Sonor 14*6 Artist Series Cast Bronze... Jesus ! This has to be the best (or top 3 best snares with the Gretsch Phosphorous Bronze and the Gretsch Bell Brass) I heard in my life ! Its sampling in the expansion is perfection. I could use some high tuning on this one :D Having tremendous fun right now and definitely using this on my projects ! Thank you Mark and Toontrack ! P.S : We need the Danny Carey Sonor 14*8 Artist Series Cast Bronze snare ASAP with his SQ2 kit :D Please, really.

Love seeing Sean Reinert!

This is THE SDX to get. Even if you just have the SD3 core kit and this SDX, you are set. I would say the Death drums are great and energetic, recorded aggressively. However, there is something about the nuanced recording in the Darkness kits and presets. You really can use the Darkness kits for just about anything. That slapback from the pool walls, instead of saturating the performance out of control with echoes, provides that slight edge that makes the drums stand out in a mix. Throw the grrooves from other SDXs nd EZXs on the Darkness kits, and they gain a new life. Do not rush into dropping these into a mix immediately, listen for a bit just to the drums and appreciate the quality. It has some of the best dry kits, too. Tip: put them on an NVME drive, not just a SATA speed SSD.

Sounds HUGE! Love the poolkit😅

Listen. After buying AD, Groove Agent (sucks), Slate (CLA is killer) I ended up with SD3....drop the mic/game over! No one provides that song/track writing environment like TT.

Just bought this addon and actually just added vst to my roland. Its so swesome I can't believe it. Thanks for your work on these drum samples!

this looks to be extactly what i was waiting for ^^

that slingerland has so much MEAT

Can't wait to hear these in context of a mix !

woow F1 of drum kit, very nice video, like a trip, thanks !

I will be purchasing this tonight!!! Love this. Thanks Toontrack!! Anymore metal stuff coming out soon??

That Slingerland 26" kick ... yowsa!

Awesome SDX 🤘

Tue did an amazing job on the hungarian Omega Diatribe's latest record called Trinity. Outstanding production! Btw, the record has been won the 'Year's best studi production' by the Hungarian Metal Awards. Definitely worth to check. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMV_erNplZ-WeGQ.html

Downloading as I watch.

I've just notice the "Metallic Black Kit" is a tribute to Metallica's Black album drum sound, technically has the same drum kit ! very nice! didn't catch that hahah now I undertand why I love those gretsch toms so much 😂🎉

I'm hoping toontrack has been working with Tue for an EZmix pack while they were at it ;) would love to get some of these guitar tones

Awesome! Can’t wait to start practicing. And I presume that Superior Drummer is gonna be the only one that exists in the future, I mean, look at that )

Sheer epicness!

Ok, granted, this time... you frakcing nailed it! Sounds very very good.... :P

This dude stood on a tom

03:09 nice BARCODE backdrop :) Great Danish euro hardcore band !

I really wish we could buy just this SDX and get the SD3 engine. I personally don't need the core library, but I would love to have this one

Already own SD3 and Metal Foundry (I use MF for additional cymbals). Don't know why I should get this as SD3 already has good metal presets.

MIDI from Sean Reinert....take my money already!

This sound....mmmm...killer guys!!!

nice. first time i've seen drums in a pool....without water 😂

That ist amazing.

THIS IS GUNNA FUCKIN RULE!!!!

11:44 - Mark Lewis laughs. Interesting.... interesting.

Holy shit!

Am I able to get that Suicide Silence snare from The Cleansing with this pack?

Game Changer!!

I wouldn't be happy if someone stepped up on my drums :)

witch song is this on the start ! that groovy kickass track is nice

Is the snare drum centered in the overhead channel? I've noticed in previous SDX libraries that the snare drum is off to the right/left in the overhead stereo image.

What is the opening track?

anyone know the track that plays at 12.05?

Is it necessary to have the complete installation, all room microphones and others? or with the basic installation is enough 38 gb approx? My hard drive is full :( Thanks in advance!!!

What track is at 0:25?

41 hours download...damn it haha :P....well 184 gb is very heavy too ....please next time not 350 gb xd

Very nice kit. Songs are total meshuggah ripoffs though

There is too much low mids in the Death samples.
