Duality Drums offers you two distinct paths: Use the raw drum samples and the Slate Digital Classic Instruments plugin to choose your own microphones.

In a traditional drum session, you’re locked into whatever mics were used on the day of recording. That limitation is gone. Every raw Duality Drums sample was captured with the ultra-linear ML-2, so you can switch between dozens of coveted microphone models instantly— 67s, 414s, 421s, 57s— you can add from 19 mic models in all. To get access to these models, you can purchase the ML-2 microphone from Slate Digital which comes with the Classic Instruments mic modeling plugin.
Jeff Juliano has mixed some of the biggest artists in the world — Dan + Shay, Twenty One Pilots, Miley Cyrus, John Mayer, and more — with over 40 million records sold. For Duality Drums, he used the Slate Digital ML-2 Virtual Microphone System and his proven mix chains to create fully mixed samples that sound like a finished record the moment you load them.

When I was in college I didn't have a drum kit. There was no way for me to play or record drums… Now that I have my own studio and record drums in lots of great spaces, I still use Trigger to make my drums sound their best. It's truly the ultimate equalizer.
… As a set of high-quality samples for drum replacement these are the win. There are 3 separate files for each sample… The kicks are great… The toms are spectacular… The snares are excellent.
Easy to use. Great drum sounds. I add a duplicate track and mix half natural sound and half trigger sound. Makes the drums sound amazing!
Trigger 2 is the best drum replacement plugin. It's a staple in any serious rock mixer's arsenal.
SSD is a joy to use, hands down the BEST drum software out there!
Using SSD5 mainly with my E-Drums (Alesis Crimson II). Sound quality is amazing and the articulations are great. Overall it does a great job, and especially the mapping that matches my E-Drum.
It's really impressive how good those samples sit in the mix just by loading them into your session and without even touching an EQ or compression. If you're doing a lot of rock, pop, metal — modern stuff where you need punchy, in-your-face drums — Steven Slate Drums 5 won't disappoint you.
... I have used Trigger myself the last few years and I'm really pleased with the result.
Everybody knows that Trigger 2 is an amazing drum replacement, but the gate is wow
