What i have installed.

CM-505. Nice electronic and synthesized taste.
EXD-80 (free) Awesome Glitch section and more.
Drumatic 3 and 4 (one free, another cheap) It sounds clean.
RMV 5. The big daddy of CM-505.

What i think are awesome but i don't have.

Utonic Microtonic.
Rob Papen Punch.
MiniSpillage (Only for Mac)

I didn't test too many more.

Good luck and have a nice day :)

I liked using Bassizm for kick drums but the new Max for Live Essentials pack has an excellent alternative. All the drum instruments in that pack are very good.

The AAS plugins are great for this, especially Chromophone and Collision (within Ableton Live).

...and any synth with a pitch envelope!

Had a big round of testing before settling on Punch and MicroTonic. After purchase and usage I still think it was the right choice, especially when combined. (tip: use InsertPiz' midiChords to easily set up MIDI mappings (MIDI note compatibility) for when combining synths)

Harmor by image line. Every paremeter has envelopes that you can draw within the vst itself, so you can go into fine detail which is important for drums. I create all my kicks in harmor, it's truly an under appreciated/under rated vst.

C'mon DrumSpillage, release it for Windows. Please!

it is so easy to bust-out pure fun with uTonic & to do it quickly
it can sound nasty or sweet with minor tweeking & super simple to tune to the Tonic or 5th
expert only on what it feels like to be me

i still use Fxpansion's DR008, great drum synthesis
wish they'd carried on with its development, i don't like Tremor.
i use and love Geist, but for drum synthesis DR008 kills.
hope it keeps working ok on future versions of windows
