Also, what makes Rob Papen's punch better than the drum synths I just mentioned?

Thank for the help!

Well, the D16 plugs are specific emulations of the XOXs... they do that job absolutely outstandingly... but are one-trick-ponies in a sense.

I've not worked with ADM or Attack... but heard good things about both.

Microtonic is great... but very modern & clean. This might be great for you if you are making trance.

Drumaxx has a certain dirtiness about it that I like.

I discovered Drumaxx via this thread, which has some relevant chatter in it:
Any decent software drum SYNTH that makes analogue(ish) techno sounds??
