I appreciate that Tom clearly has a passion for his drums.

Because of you, I can not program drums any other way, it just makes so much sense. I don't understand why nobody ever thought of that before. Thank you so much!!!

Great work, amazing sounds from this library.

[Ezechel.Trifan]

So great to see Tom demo and explain in person.

This is easy to use, great job Tom!!!!

Well, Surdo means "deaf" in portuguese, and I think they deliver quite well. Now, if you don't mind, I will go buy some hearing aids.

From 6:04-6:48, everything that Tom says about there being dynamic layer versions of these instruments for drummers is a Complete Lie! In Reality are there only 16 instruments in a single “performance patch” when there’s a total of 59 instruments in the library excluding the “performance patch”??! This is outrageous!!

Intuition seems to be playing dynamics with velocity, not up and down the keyboard... as is evidenced by Mr Holkenborg's slamming the keys when he's playing the upper notes... and lightly touching the keys at the lower end. This is the way Tom likes to work, which is fine, but why not offer both options? Seems easy enough if they're just one shots. I like to have a single drum on a couple keys because it makes playing accents much easier... a lot easier than trying to jump 6 octaves for the loud hit when I'm playing 16ths down lower on the keyboard. Plus then I could have all these drums available as an ensemble across a few octaves. Haven't purchased yet, so maybe it already has all of this.... just not seeing it in this vid.

This is a must have, simple, logical and highly effective .
