On the other hand, all the kits in Progressive Foundry seemed quite usable, and with the wealth of snares and cymbals, I highly doubt I wouldn't find something to like. I've heard quite a few complaints about the tuning of the drums on Metal Foundry (though many enjoyed the cymbals) and while listening to the three kits on Rock Warehouse, found one of them (forget which), which sounded a bit weird / unusable.

Personally, I also agree with your assessment of both Rock Warehouse and Metal Foundry. In your opinion, would you say that Progressive Foundry would be suitable for quite a few genre's (rather than just Progressive and Hard Rock)? It probably won't be on sale for 6-8 months, so you may want to decide if you need it now or can wait. Progessive Foundry looks to be really good, and I would think it's more useful than the others. I've gotten to play with Metal Foundry in the past and also was not impressed. I find that the EZX version of it (Rock Solid) is much more useful. I own Rock Warehouse and I'm not real impressed with it. Progressive Foundry is new and only came out a couple weeks ago, which is why it's not on sale and why there's no reviews yet. Progressive Foundry currently sits at $150 while Metal Foundry and Rock Warehouse are $75 each (when purchased from sites such as Sweetwater).Īs for my musical tastes, I currently play punk, metal and a bit of southern rock. I've tried to find extensive reviews of Progressive Foundry, but have been unsuccessful thus far (all I've found are promos).īoth option 1 and 2 are the same price (up until December 31st). Option 2 consists of 55 GB of raw samples (35 for Metal Foundry and 20 for Rock Warehouse). Option 1 consists of 63 GB of raw samples and from what I can hear, sounds pretty good across the board. I was looking at purchasing 1 or 2 Superior Drummer expansions and was wondering which of the two options you would prefer?
