Metal Drum VST Shootout - 1 drum beat vs. 8 Drum Plugins

Clever combo of the two kits at the end! Well done!. But it's a strange comparison IMO, since EZD2 and 3 have great dedicated metal presets, yet you chose very generic presets (or left them at their default preset). For me SD3 Death and all those Mark Lewis presets are winners. That SDX is a great one!

This is such a fallacious comparison.
Some of these plugins have processing on them, some of them are completely raw, some of them are mix ready, some are ready to be implemented in a mix.
Each of these plugins have their own pros and cons and none of the pros or cons are the way they sound, because they can all equally sound amazing.
I also don't understand the choices of plugins. Who is going to use EZD2 these days? They don't even sell it anymore?
Where is superior drummer 3 and get good drums? You know, the drum companies primarily focused on metal and rock?

The first kit sounds amazing... Like an actual drummer. iMo

Thank you, great comparison video, to me mixwave and krim drums by brogen digital are the ones that sound better out of the box! Clearly any of these can sound great with proper compression, eq etc…

ML and EZ top! I also love cymbals and snare from Addictive Drums

Thank you so much for doing this! What's your favorite for the sound and also the general features?

Promo sm 🤷

how do those first drums sound so good...they are absolutely filthy. i mean the drums have muck and mud on them.
