Well, what point of view are you looking at it from? If you're interested in ease of use/accessibility/ready support, then session drummer 3 wins. If you're looking at it from the point of view of usability, options, sound quality, customization and anything in that area, then superior drummer is? well, superior! It has mics for practically every part of your drums mix, it has more pads than sd3, you can create your own mixes if you have multiple libraries loaded, the drums included sound better IMO, and much much more. Like I said, it all depends on what you're looking for from it.

I see at least 6 benefits to using session drummer 3 1. You can assign any drum pads to your drum kit 2. You can edit your drums volume, pan, and pitch settings per drum sound patch 3. You can import different formats used in drum sound patches (e.g. wav, rex2, etc) 4. I have access to a limitless pool of drum sound samples 5. As a Sonar program, Session Drummer 3, allows me to upload midi drum grooves via the loop explorer view and edit MIDI drum patterns in Sonar?s event view. 6. The CT scripts for Session Drummer give me access to the above parameters and I don?t have to worry about doing additional scripting to make SD3 work for my accessibility needs The only thing I don?t like about session drummer 3 is that I cannot preview individual sound patches for my drum set quicker; to preview individual drum sounds I have to execute the following steps; (click un upload, hit enter, shift tab to your patches folder and hit enter, as opposed to promptly previewing sounds like you do on the loop explorer view. Given the above benefits, what would be an added benefit for me to use Superior Drummer? Many thanks for anybodies feedback, Iván PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
