Thank you sir, I was really worried what drum software do I have to use for my projects. I was not sure about the toontrack accessibility. Now, you gave me very helpful information. Due to your recommendation, I am going to have it soon, and I am sure that your support and information is very needed.

After some more poking around with Superior Drummer 2.0, I have unearthed a bunch of new features that are completely accessible via menus. 1. All kits and mixer presets are in sub menus. If you install an expansion pack with multiple kits in it, you can see them all in a "Drum Kits" submenu. You can also get at all mixer presets and save your own. There are like 20 or so presets, which also have there own separate bleed presets. 2. Keymaps. In another submenu, you can select from the different keymaps installed on the system. There is an extended gm map, and a "Superior" map, which I'm assuming is much like the DFH map, which had left and right-hand grip. In another submenu, you can change the level of layers that are streamed from disk. if you are using a slower machine, you can determine how many velocity layers are accessed to improve performance. I was speaking with Damon Fibraio today. He just ordered his copy of Superior Drummer as well. We are both committed to trying to provide as much help to anyone who wants to go this route. With a little bit of Hot Spot clicker support, we feel that we can make this thing fully accessible. Eventually, I want to make available an accessibility pack for Superior Drummer, which includes a Sonar Template, a hotspot file, and an audio tutorial. This would get everyone on the same page so we all can start making music, and subsequently allow us to increase our revenue as project studios to provide high quality drum tracks for artists, demos, etc. The great thing is, if you didn't have the money for Superior Drummer, you could scale down and buy EZ Drummer, which is the identical engine. This thing is scalable and expandable. Watch this space for more info, and possibly a short demo of what I'm able to do. Our only obstacle at this point is the installer, which could be potentially made accessible with hotspot. I have no idea how that infrastructure works, so am currently beginning my research so I can learn it's ways and start collaborating with people to make this work. In short, I'm officially making the statement that Superior Drummer, or any of the toontrack products that use the EZ drummer engine are the easiest and most accessible drum library in the 1 to 300 dollar range. If anyone is interested, and has 800 bucks, we could test the Oceanway Drums. Also, there's one called Slate drums, I think. But for now, Toontrack is the way to go.
