Few things. Given the Z system, every sample is sampled in 3 different room zones. So you are getting a ton of sounds on this thing. But more importantly, before I put any money into this project, I listened to almost all of these drum libraries. Alone some of them sound decent, but in a mix, I found them to sound tiny. Steven's hits sound big, even in the heavy rock mixes. Many of our beta testers have multiple drum libraries, and they are all telling us in terms of useable drum sounds for real world mixes, nothing is holding up against the slate samples. I was so excited to hear the final product, that I transferred some of my old band's mixes (on 2inch from 1984!) to Nuendo so I could mix them with the new drums. It was a trip.
As for the posted demos, we have lots more coming. But I think they sound great as they are. I'm not a drummer but I have good timing and they seemed fine to me, certainly not off to the point where they would turn someone off, but maybe I'm so blown away by the sounds that I'm not hearing it.
