Sorry, I just had that thought when I read your post, Tornio.
I'm talking about drum machines/VSTi's, not real drumkits that you can tune yourself. You don't have that privilege with drum machines with pre-made samples.

Take for example Addictive Drums. Even with *extreme* EQing and all, it still sounds too soft for harder metal. There's only so much you can do if the source sample by nature doesn't have "it". One of the biggest problems in it is the cymbals/overheads. You really can't properly replace them with samples.

That's what I'm pondering about DFHS 2.0, especially since - quote from DFHS 2.0 description at Toontrack - "Pat Thrall, Neil Dorfsman and Nir Z have between them over the past three decades worked with artists as diverse as Meatloaf, Celine Dion, Nick Lachey, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Beyonce, Björk, Kiss, Joss Stone, Genesis, John Mayer and Chris Cornell." - none of them really strike as extreme or metal. That's what made me think.
