Hi folks,

I know it's a matter of taste and it depends on the job you need to do, but which would you recommend? Btw. I already have Battery 2, since I upgraded from 1. Thanks,

Niels

PS. Drumcore is: www.drumcore.com

I only own BFD but I am hard pressed to see that these products are comparable. What are you going to use it for? BFD and RMX are to completely different products. Drumcore I'm not familiar with.

Actually using battery2 (since 2.1, before that patch ive been using dr008) BFD and RMX complementary. Better 'get 'em all!'

RMX is 'meant' for remix, whereas BFD is more real drums. Not familiar with drumcore.

I'm very happy with BFD. It's basic library is more traditional sounding but the 8 Bit Kit add-on has lots of African and Latin percussion, 808, 909 and those beat boxes played through kick ass speakers for a mighty sound.

It's a bit more with the add-on but it's there if you want it along with the XFL library.

BFD is great if you want lots of control over what you are doing, both timbral in the control room area and through the real, true drumming capabilities.

It's also due a free update to 1.5 which is substantial.

It really depends on what kind of sound you are going for. If you want great dynamics and a real drum sound, I would highly recommend BFD.

BFD is very realistic, but RMX is unmissable.

Get both.

Then get all the expanders for both

It's worth mentioning that all the drum sounds in Stylus were pressed to Vinyl and then resampled. Hence the name.

No...that's only true of Classic Stylus, not the new Stylus RMX core library which is a lot more varied and more hi-fi sounding.

Although you are right about the focus of the instrument concept. RMX is mainly remix oriented in the core library and can be expanded with acoustic grooves.

I'm going to throw another product into the mix here as a potential competitor to BFD.

Sonic Reality Group Buy drums - Group Buy is over but the content is still selling at the final price of $139.

It doesn't have all the mike placement as in BFD, but it certainly has a MASSIVE amount of content and comes with the ST2 LE player so it's a complete instrument in its own right with built in effects, the ability to route the output of the different parts of the kit etc..

Check out this this thread if you're interested in this but it's a limited thing and will probably be over very early January never to be seen again.
