hey all

for 2016, what drum program offers the biggest library for percussion MIDI tracks? i have been used to AD but, now i am trying to find more exotic drums, with heavy beat libraries.

i know BFD, AD and EZ all have percussive packs. however, which of them has the largest collection of drag-n-drop beats? seems like BFD has the most variety of instruments but, this does me no good if the MIDI library is not large.

i do not want to make my own beats and i have no touch-sensitive pads to play on.

anyone try ALL the percussion ad packs and World VST's?

the NI format looks pretty good? is THAT percussion library big?

i do not want conventional drum kits. with EZ and AD, i fear buying into their main app+pak method because, that stuff seems to be mostly latin.

I want Asian, Middle Eastern and African too. my dream would be millions of MIDI files (patterns), with fills..that can be dragged to form percussion tracks.

the EZ one has a third party demo and shows a lot. it was good but, what is out there with world beat pattern libraries (with the ability to merge fills and alter patterns via cubase)?

dunno about vst comparisons (i also use AD) but for 'world' midi, check out groovemonkey and oddgrooves.

For Middle Eastern you could look into Volko Audio's Alaturka Drum and (free) darbuka-nut.
I have them and they're awesome. But only Middle Eastern styles, not African, so quite specific.
