DFH or Metalheadz

[RobSoundtrack]

I have leaned both ways on which to buy.
I started to really go for metalheadz. Until everything BUT metalheadz went on sale. Half off until the end of march.

Experienced users please help a guy.

Re: DFH or Metalheadz

are you talking about drum sequencing?

Re: DFH or Metalheadz

Yes, well I should say I currently use ezdrummer and use flstudio to sequence.

Re: DFH or Metalheadz

ok, so what is metalheadz?

I've used EZ drummer/DFH for a while, and while it's good for demos and whatnot, I find that the drum sounds are not that great and don't work too well in full mixes (hence the only good for demos)

Re: DFH or Metalheadz

I have learned to get ez drummer sounding pretty tight with the use of flstudio and some parallel compression on the overall.
Metalheads is another kit expansion just like DFH.

I posed the question because i have seen folks using both.
I guess the only two questions are:
Is DFH worth 40 bucks. and
Is Metalheads worth twice that.

Re: DFH or Metalheadz

DFH is pretty good, but pretty basic, if all you're going for is the programmed loops.

not a whole lot of versatility in the playing on those loops.

there was another expansion called library of the extreme (or something along those lines) which featured a whole bunch of blasts, grooves and fills played by Dirk Verbeuren from Scarve, Soilwork, Yyrkoon etc etc.

That was pretty ripping, and had a whole bunch of really cool things.

I've never seen the metalheads expansion though...

I can't speak for Metalheadz, but I really like DFH. Seems to have just about everything you'd need. Get Devin Townsend's Ziltoid The Omniscient to hear what it's truly capable of.

Re: DFH or Metalheadz
