Recently i started looking into synths that are geared towards making drum sounds. I have'nt found anything that even comes close to vengeance sounds metrum. However it only specializes in kick drums. What do you use for synthesizing drums??

Radian, Modal, COL..heck...my drums are 99% xoxos stuff. And if that's not enough I load them into ADZE and have some serious fun. Have seen and played a lot the last 10 years but his stuff, well, only sky is the limit. Can't wait for bong.

And Kong when I fire up Reason every now and then.

Tbh the last two days I am programming all kind of drum sounds on HYDi (new Beta will hopefully hit the scene this weekend) which is not a drum but a "traditional" synth with lot's of quirks. But I was astonished how bangin' this synth is for drum sounds.

Audiospillage Drumspillage and Elecktroid. Mac only though.

Oh and there's also the M4L drum synths that Ableton ships with Live Suite.

Once I gave up worrying about actually synthesising drums, FXPanasion Geist became my beloved.

For VST/AU plugins I only have Tremor, however I am considering eventually buying a licence for Drum Spillage & Elecktroid.

I also own Reason 7 so I have access to Kong but I am not fond of the drum synthesizer sound quality.

In a thread title 'best drum synths list'? Whatever next!

To make it worse, some dunce will probably post a sampling drum machine as well and be totally off topic...

I've been using MicroTonic and EKS Pro a lot lately. DrumSpillage too.

I agree with that when it comes to the synth units from Kong. But the Physical Modeling stuff (Kick, Snare...Tom???) is pretty dope. That & the neat fx section afterwards + the whole velocity options and ease of use is a no brainer for me to keep Reason just for that.
