But, their pre-mixed drum kits are just a lot further from the sound I want out of drums than Steven Slate out of the box, for whatever reason, so I've pretty much had to cobble together my own custom kits. On the flip side, Superior Drummer 3's UI is much more user friendly, and it's much more intuitive to tweak drum sounds to match your preferences, and the cymbal samples are much more convincing.

Also, FWIW, I find SSD's cymbal samples to be lacking - they don't sound as lush or full as a professionally recorded drum track should sound, especially not the hi-hats.
It's so bad that, at least for me, it kinda canceled out the quality of the drum kits, which are "pre-mixed" to more or less sound like a finished, professionally produced drum track right out of the box. IMO, Steven Slate Drums has one of the most maddeningly unusable UIs I have ever experienced in music software. The algorithm has been carefully tuned by ear to provide musical results that are hard to unhear.I have Steven Slate Drums 5 and Superior Drummer 3, but primarily use Superior Drummer 3 (Trigger is something completely different - that's for replacing a previously recorded drum track with samples, rather than programming a drum track from scratch).

The process is free from pre-ring, crossovers, and summing artefacts commonly found in dynamic equalisers and multiband compressors. It combines novel heuristics for finding resonances with advanced filtering techniques to minimise degradation of the signal quality. Soothe2 is a result of years of research and development.
Snare Bottom: Shure SM57 -> Great River MP-2NV. which has found a home in many rock, pop, country, and metal recordings (check out Taylor Swift, Shinedown, Ill Nino, Miley Cyrus, Train, Black Eyed Peas, Megadeth, Lamb Of God.). Yes the sounds arent processed like my former collection. Snare Top: Shure SM57 -> Great River MP-2NV. SSD 4.0 takes everything that Ive ever learned about the art of making drums sound awesome and embodies it in a virtual instrument. Kick Sub: Solomon LoFreq -> Cranborne Audio Camden. Kick In 2: Sennheiser 902/Audix D6 -> Cranborne Audio Camden. Signal Chains used: Kick In 1: Shure 91a Beta -> API 312 Preamp.
Soothe2 is a dynamic resonance suppressor.
