Yeah...I'm drummed to death...

Maybe a nice option for those that only have the SI one from Bandlab's Cakewalk.

 Yes, those of us long time users likely have AD, Session Drummer, EZ Drummer, "Superior", etc  but those all cost us way more than $9.

I was thinking the same thing.  Somebody just starting in music can get going for a song these days.

 It gets even worse with Trap.  The loops and one shots are endless.

 Is it really better then Cakewalk's though?   Most DAWs come with plenty of loops as well.   There's also some nice free ones out there.  Slate is free. Every DAW pretty much comes with it's own drum module.

 BTW has anyone tried the drums that come with Komplete?

Most of the Abbey Road Drummers are ok, as are the other 
ones that come with Komplete...

I guess that Drum Lab is suppose to be good.

From what I heard it seemed better than SI Drummer.  The key here in part being that these are "unprocessed" drums with built in effects and multi channel outs.  With that functionality in skilled hands I'd expect to be able to come up with templates that transform them to a production.  The SI Kit(s) are far from terrible, but they are a bit light in detail and range within each kit.  

Each drum model would be tied to the DAW (in most cases), and thus also requireing the purchase of a DAW.  I'm still of the mindset that that is no reason to use any other DAW than Cakewalk outside of compositional tools (Chord generator, etc).  

I don't even consider loops in the same catergory as a MIDI drum kit.  They are far more limited when it comes to composition and usability.  I own Drum Core, and I'm unaware of anything that could possibly trump that in terms of real Drum Loops in a single package....however I virtually never use them unless it calls for something static.  The MIDI version of the same kits and patterns however opens up a different world.  

SSD5 is indeed a good option though like this, one kit in the package.
