Your favorite Drum Software

I recently posted a work in progress preview of a new prog rock song I'm recording. I used Superior Drummer 2 with C&V expansion for the drums, played on my Roland V-Kit.

Here's the link to the topic with the song download....

I'm a HUGE fan of Toontrack products. I have both EZDrummer and Superior Drummer 2.0. For ease of use, I really can't say how much EZD & SD2.0 appeal to me. The expansion packs offer a wide variety of sounds for whatever you're looking to record.

...but...I had my head turned recently by Addictive Drums. Just the stock set-up sounded somewhat stronger (to me) than most of the Toontrack stuff. For the record, iZotope's iDrum sounds pretty good, too.

As far as MIDI files are concerned, I'm a bit of a junkie. I've got stuff from OddGrooves, GrooveMonkee, and Toontrack. As far as I'm concerned, most files won't have exactly what you need, but Reaper has an awesome and easy-to-use MIDI editor for that.
