This pack is the other direction: sounds from the man himself, packaged for SSD and TRIGGER.
The maker describes the 10 preset kits as hard-hitting and mix-ready, covering tones from rock through to metal. They were recorded in Henson Studio B.
The crash and ride samples are only available in the SSD version of the expansion. If you work in TRIGGER, the kicks, snares and toms are the core of what you get.
The expansion is available for both TRIGGER and Steven Slate Drums (SSD).
If you already have SSD set up in your signal chain, the kits load as additional presets, so you can start from Terry's mixed sounds and shape them from there.
