The expansion pack costs £125/$179 and requires Superior Drummer 2.0 to be installed on the host machine. To create the SDX, Toontrack employed drummer Tomas Haake (of Meshuggah fame) and seven colossal drum kits to compile an incredible 300,000 individual samples. As with the all the Superior Drummer 2.0 sound sets, there are a range of range of mic choices, too: two sets of stereo and mono ambience mics two sets of overheads a ‘snare trash’ mic three choices of close-proximity snare mics, and a range of kick-drum options, all of which can be mixed using the Superior Drummer user interface. Metal Foundry users can build a virtual kit from a choice of 12 different kick drums, over 40 different toms, 15 snare drums, and probably enough cymbals to sink a small fishing vessel. The Metal Foundry contains, as you might have guessed, drum samples suitable for use in rock and metal music. The drum samples in this expansion pack was recorded and produced at Atlantis Studios in December 2008 by the original Drumkit From Hell recording team, Mattias Eklund (Toontrack Music), Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah), Daniel Bergstrand (Dug Out Studios), and Tomas Haake (Meshuggah).The second expansion pack (SDX) for Toontrack’s virtual drum software, Superior Drummer 2.0, has been announced. The Metal Foundry SDX celebrates the Toontrack Music Hard Rock and Heavy Metal legacy of the first Drumkit From Hell. The e-drum samples cover a wide variety of harder music, from the early blues-tinged sound of the late '60s classic rock to the fragmentation of today's heavier music, including power, thrash, death, and progressive metal. I mix them myself and don’t use presets and to me the Darkness is great to mix. I use the Darkness for my current set up and really like the sounds I get out of it. The Toontrack Metal Foundry SDX expansion pack for Superior Drummer 2.0 sample engine features the drumming of Meshuggah's Tomas Haake, and includes seven massive drum kits, spanning 300,000 sound files of raw, single-hit drum recordings in the vein of Drumkit From Hell and dfh Superior. I was using Progressive Foundry for awhile. The pack offers 300,000 single-hit files, comprising 35 GB of space.

This expansion gives you the sound of metal, featuring seven drum kits geared towards metal and metals various sub-genres.
