Soon available: PremierSoundfactory's brand new DrumTree, a bundled-updated-expanded-and-enhanced collection of all their drumlibraries thusfar, and a product of which they're apparently proud enough to even dedicate a special website to it: DrumTree.
I already have several of those original libraries (so I'm not sure I'll upgrade) and they're really good. PremierSoundfactory-style good that is, which means: great sound — the most convincing 70's sound I've ever come across in drumsamples anyway —, but leaving quite a bit to be desired programming-wise. Hopefully, they've upped their programming-game with the new DrumTree Kontakt-instruments.
Some of those demos were remarkable - 50's bebop sounded EXACTLY like what I imagine when I think of late 1950s Bebop. Several others had the same effect - grunge and punk and the 70's Detroit Pop for example.
There were a few that didn't strike me the same way, but I think that was largley because the styles are not something I work with?
I'm not sure what other features they've included, some additional time at their web site will be required!
Can't imagine Toontrack Superior 2 taking a back seat, but this could well do the trick. If all the styles that interest me are as well done as the examples I think I'll have to make the investment. Thanks for the heads up Piet!

Oh shit... when I got this mail today I immediately sorted it to spam because of the ugly green GUI. Now listening to the demos I really have to think about my conviction that I'll never need any more drum samples... damn! I'm a retro nerd and this is too good to ignore!
