If you are looking for more of a challenge and are willing to invest the time, then check out SD3. If you have been happy with earlier versions of EZDrummer then EZ2 would be a good step up. You pays your money and takes your choice depending on your intended use and abilities (or lack of in my case). That being said, the SD3 with S1 combination has a serious flaw in so much as the SD3 GUI latency in S1 makes editing the grooves almost impossible at times. However, despite persevering with SD3, I don’t find the kit sounds to be particularly gratifying compared with the instantaneous of EZ2, neither do I find the relationship between the ’Drum’ page and the ‘Mixer’ page to be particularly intuitive but I do enjoy the additional control over the voicing and the Midi Grid. That changed with the introduction of SD3, which offered the best of both worlds. I cut my teeth on EZ2, and had good results with it using the channel outs to individual mixer channels in S1 but hankered for additional control over the preset voices and mixing options but couldn’t bring myself to invest in SD2 because it didn’t have the ‘groove browser’ facilities, which are great. I found nothing in SSD with my initial dabbling to convince me to change my user habits from the Toontrack stable, all I have used is a few of the included midi patterns, which I ported over to SD3 and changed the midi mapping to suit. I am not a power user so my limited user knowledge should be taken into account when considering my views but here goes. I have EZD2, SD3 and SSD5 (free version).

EZ2 has plenty of audio demos on their site to listen to as well as a FREE DEMO.

The mixer in SSD5 is more full featured, no question there The limitations are not there in EZ2 once you record down your individual parts and treat them like a regular kit. Sound preference is just that, preference. I have had Slate since before version 4 here. construction window to piece together your track and easily beats Slate in support. EZ2 has lots of expansions, loads of midi patterns, tap to find. SSD5 has more as far as the mixing area and the sound is diff than EZ2. SSD does not have a good history with updates and bug fixes. I'd recommend ToonTrack either way.EZ2 is a HUGE step up from EZ1 in function and sound quality.

Addictive Drums and EZDrummer are supposed to be easier to use, while Slate and Superior Drummer are meant for molding your sound. In summary, all these programs serve different purposes. I haven't used Addictive Drums but from what I heard it was closer to EZ Drummer in functionality/quality. Especially if you're triggering the samples with E-drums instead of programming them in. If you buy SD and the expansion packs on sale (and it goes on sale practically monthly or bi-monthly) then I'd say it's a much better choice than Slate. You can really get in and mold your sound a lot better. Superior Drummer is closer in price to Slate and the SDX expansions are far better samples and more comprehensive. The EZDrummer program as well as the sample library expansions are not supposed to be completely comprehensive. EZDrummer is (and is meant to be) easy to use and fast. I don't think your comparison choices are fair.
