Now all I gotta do is go back through the thread to figure out how to order the DVD delivery.

The DVD is a product on itself. $10 for shipping.

Thanks, X-dark! I just now found it here:

Again, this might just be me, but it was difficult to suss out. I had to display all esoundz products, then sort on price low-to-high. Dunno if they're deliberately doing this to minimize the number of DVDs to burn and ship, but I'd think a big link to this option on the main GB page and the first page of this thread would be good if they want to cut down on the major bandwidth suckage that's going to happen this month.

WOW! Just installed all the Kits from Phase 1 and my absolute favourite so far is the NDV Prem Roto STm Kit - the Rotos sound very punchy and the snare samples in that one are one of the best I've ever heard/played. After an hour of finger drumming my ears ring and my Subwoofer says: Thank you!!

My favorite is the big band kit, that snare plays awesome ghost notes on my E-drums, it just rolls so nicely

Put it in the "Infinite Player" folder, at the same level than "Samples", "Instruments", "Multis", etc.

Okay, here's your chance to get EpiK DrumS kits a la carte on DVD (they are too large to download - they range up to 20 gigabtes each!). The kits are only being offered for a few weeks pre-release and then may come back later and be a permanent product or not. They're called "Special Edition Artist Paks" and they have the multitrack kits of the 5 drummers from EpiK DrumS - A Ken Scott Collection.

Now, they are available for anyone to buy at $179 each. However, if you joined the Ultimate Studio Drums Bundle II: The Sequel (and you have only until tomorrow at 5pm Florida time to do so) then you qualify for a $50 off coupon making it only $129 each (and you can use that coupon on any of the 5 or all of the 5 if you want). The coupon code is: USD2EPIK

The links to the products (which have new demos btw courtesy of Dimitar) are here:

Oh and the best part is that they ship on Monday! You'll have it before everyone else.

Does this deal/coupon end today also?

What have others bought/like out of the EpiK sessions?

No, it began yesterday and will go on "for a few weeks", according to Squids.

So do we get to DL phase 2 and pahse 3 today?

[Squids]

Yes, although it is a race whether what we were calling phase 3 Multitrack kits vs. what we were calling phase 2 - the rest of the STm kits + Impulse Responses (those are already available now) + SquidiMidi (still compiling) so... throughout the day and late into the evening it will probably take. We know you guys all want to play with it over the weekend though so we're trying to get ALL of it for you asap.

DVDs ship out on Monday btw. Although there's a lot of them so it will take Allen and crew days to get them all out. But it should be arriving pretty darn soon! Fun huh? It's a lot of stuff for $99.

Oh yeah, man, less than 2 hours left for both USD1 and USD2! Bye bye... sniff. I really love these two bundles. Oh well... they'll live on in Drum Masters 2 Signature Kits - it's just that they won't have the OWD kits. Those particular ones are exclusive to the GB and if you got it while you could (still 2 more hours to do so) then good for you! Smart move. After this, that's that. Back to regular life... which is still pretty darn good too with the release of so many MORE drums than even this! It's Multitrack kit time after this (not a group buy, don't worry - but some great products at reasonable prices is what I mean).

Has anyone tried the octabons from the "Coplnd Octabon STm Kit" yet? Comments? I'm anxious to hear that one

[Reverend Rhythm]

One hour to go.
