I keep promising myself to keep my scores low, but since I only end up reviewing products that I like, the scores tend to be high. I absolutely love the RMIII. I have had the RMF for a while and wanted a good drum sampler. I downloaded all the demos out there and tried them out. In the end there was a clear winner, RMIII. Sure Dr-008 has a million features, but for what I need, RMIII is perfect and for the price, unbeatable. I almost exclusively use acoustic kits in a prog rock/jazz rock context and the features (and might I add looks) of the RMIII are perfect.

I don't think I need to say anything about Peter's support. It is excellent. I wrote this in another review, but I will re-iterate: Between LinPlug and Sonic Reality, I feel that I am in very good hands musically.

I've had the RMIII for about two weeks now and I can say that it absolutely rocks and is rock solid. In my research before getting this VST I looked a few of the other Drum Machines out there and on a dollar for dollar basis this thing holds up at a fraction of the price.

I actually bought the Manytone kits for mine also and they are some of the best sounding samples out there. The Bit Crusher works well, the included compressor can create really tight sounding Funk kits and with a total of 50 really usable kits what else do you need??? There are even some really nice world kits and percussion bundled in there....

The other advantage is that the CPU usage means you can load a few of these up without your PC fluttering once.

Go and get it!!!!!

For the money this is the best drumsample player period! It looks great fits my monitor perfectly. The sound is incredible, at the moment it even beats the battery and DR008 IMHO.You are supplied with so many excellent sounding kits to start with,incredible low cpu layering,amp and pitch filter. I wish they could have included more built in FXs like reverb,delay,phaser,flanger..etc,I'm being to greedy,I guess? The manual thats supply is perfect, went through it in 15 minutes,understood the RMIII perfectly.Excellent customer support! This thing is worth twice its value! I have a Dr770 and an EM1 the only thing the RM1 is missing that separates it from them is built in FX. I produce hiphop,R&b and house, RMIII ,the PentagonI and Fruityloops Full are the best money I have spent to date on music software. This is the best drum sampler ever for hiphop! Classic!

Lots of Drum Machine here for the money.

It doesn't have the detail, the scope, or the complexity I can get from a DR-008, but there are lots of great presets to fool with. Nice hip hop.

RMIII gets 50% of my drum machine time with DR-008 because it's nice and quick to use.

18 outs is pretty good too.

After using a lot of the DR-008 uber-machine, I'm still surprised by how good RMIII is.

At $59 this is a value buy.

1st Feb - Later: I upped my original score 'cos of all the excellent and cheap 3rd party kits now available.

RMIII is now really starting to steal my DR-008 time.

It's nice to have a VSTi to go the distance with. My mates like it too.

Nice drum VSTi, but it lacks step programming badly, and the GUI looks way too amateurish. Overall, too pricey for what it does. Fruity Loops and Orion deliver better drum sound programming, and are way cheaper in comparison.
