You have superior drummer, or if you don't want all the stuff/complexity of it, you can go with Ezdrummer. Both are still available... There should be hotspots which you will need for them soon... Yes they are both synths and both work with sonar, though to do much of the cool stuff with them you'll need the set that is in the making, or sighted assitance...

Forgive me if I ask some silly questions.. I take it that it works in Sonar and it is a synth plugin, right? Do I need the hfc to use the product? I'm sure there will be more when I recieve it.
