The SSD5 has the sound I've been searching for so many years. And it's free!!! Thanks!

[sevendaysreign]

All seemed useful but I liked #1, #3, and #5 and will be checking them out closer. Thanks for the info.

Great list of free drum plugins, and I appreciate that they have both Mac and Windows versions. Also, I counted only 4 "quirky-related" references in the Line of Legends review. (I pay attention and have OCD.) 🙂 Thank you for your work!

[adrianclarke]

Many thanks for putting this together, there's so much to choose from out there you're never sure if you're going down a blind alley or not. This/these lists are always well worth investigating . . . so I now have two of the products in my DAW. many thanks

The last one has excellent cymbal sounds. I think that really lets down most virtual drums.

I have been MTPowerDrums for a good while now and with some EQ-ing and mixing, this is a rather impressive free plugin.

Nice that you mentioned the low-velocity problem with MT PowerDrumKit2. It's next to impossible to add really soft (almost ghost) grace notes sometimes: I had to zoom in to the velocity lane recently just to make the vel. bars >1 pixel (so that I can drag them further down) for some snares(?) that were still too loud.

Looks like MTPowerdrumkit2, SSD5 and DrumMic'a might be the ones I'm looking into, especially for a Spyro vibe. Thanks for the choices!

[Syklonus]

All of these sound really good, especially 1 and 5. The free tools available today for drum sounds and guitar amp simulation just blow even the pro productions of the past out the water.

I used MT powerdrumkit 2 for almost everything. That kit is very flexible. You can even play metal on it if you dial some knobs on compressor and EQ. I wanted to try SSD5 but I could not get it to work. Drumkit software is in the future plans, but as for now I will stick to my MT powerdrumkit 2. Sehnhiser drum kit I have not seen before I have to try it. Maybe I like it more them MT. Another very powerfull tool that is completly free and included in Cakewalk by Bandlab is the Drum Replacer. If you dont like the sound of your drums you can always replace them by rightclicking on your drum track and choosing drum replacer. This powerfull tool is a little hidden so most users probably dont know it is there. If you dont have Drum replacer installed launch your cakewalk installation program from your bandlab app and after launching the latest version of installation it should be there.

Your video was quite helpful. I personally judge a digital drum kit by the sound of the toms. While you covered many of the available functions of these kits, you spent little time focusing on the toms. I would love to see such a comparison video that puts a little more focus on the tom sounds.

Thanks for the tip man!
Hugs from Brazil!

I have the MT Power Drumkit 2 for a free VST it is not too bad at all, I am thinking about giving Sennheiser one a try

[EdmondM]

Nice video as always, thank you for the hard work. I always like Steven slate drums it’s so real. Also I like drum mics, good job. 👍💐keep it up.

[GPM]

Great vid mike. Will be checking these out once i am thanks

[BobLefty]

Recently discovered your videos after loading Cakewalk onto my new PC (I had taken a LONG break from home recording). Thank you so much for these instructional sessions...really fantastic! P.S. I have no idea how to get the DrumMic'a VST to work! I've tried for hours... :(

[SineSet]

My choise for "natural sound style" is MT Power DrumKit 2 - simple, light, clear sound.
