While the expansions cover all angles of the drum kit and Latin percussion, one area has hitherto gone unexplored: orchestral percussion.

Since releasing Superior Drummer 2.0 in 2008, Toontrack have issued a steady stream of SDX and EZX expansion libraries for their Superior and EZ players and all of those reviewed on these pages received a warm reception from SOS's keen-eared writers, who know a good sampled drum kit when they hear one. The product names say it all: Superior Drummer, EZ Drummer, and before that, Drumkit From Hell and its devilish offspring DFH Superior. Think of Toontrack and you think of drums.

The US drum maestros take a decisive step into the world of orchestral percussion.
