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.

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.
