SD 2.0 comes hot on the heels of its obvious competitor - BFD2 - so how does Toontrack's latest offering shape up against FXpansion's flagship product? Bundle Of Fun With SD 2.0, Toontrack are attempting to marry the best of both these earlier products - the meticulous sampling and user control found in DFH Superior with a more accessible user–interface based on EZ Drummer. To their credit, Toontrack responded with EZ Drummer, based upon a narrower range of drum sounds than DFH Superior but with a much more user–friendly interface. However, it is probably true to say that some potential users were put off by what was perceived as a somewhat complex user interface. Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0 essentially represents a second generation of DFH Superior and, when Paul White reviewed the original release back in March 2005, he was very impressed by the realism of the sound and the extraordinary level of detail in the sampling. Will the drums and cymbals of their new Superior Drummer 2.0 make a greater splash? Toontrack's DFH Superior received excellent reviews but perhaps didn't really make the impact that it deserved.
