I bought this software, I didn't RENT it!

Kits don’t really mean too much to me, what’s more important is the recording philosophy. In all my years doing this work I found that BFD samples are the most organic for my tastes, and the closest to what I track when I’m doing a studio session.

Everyone has their own tastes and BFD has been very suited to mine.

Having said that I do use and mix Toontrack and AD and whatever other samples I’m sent regularly and they also sound great, just not what I personally want if given the choice. Hard to find bad sounding drum samples, the only ones I didn’t care for where the first EZdrummer sounds, and especially when they re-released the original drumkit from hell for it, botched that one.

To this day I still use old Sonic Implants soundfonts and gigasamples from the 90s cuz they were just recorded really well and still stand up just fine.
