Unfortunately, this free download is stuck with only one (lame) drum kit. So much for this being correctly equalized already!

To get it sounding reasonably okay I have to kill the 8khz band completely and give some boost at 63khz. The kick drum sounds a bit powder-puff, with far too much high frequency content around the 8khz band that reveals a metallic click sound, and putting it though a compressor just brings this out even more. The floor tom has no depth, sounding far too shallow, so I had to give the 125hz band a massive 18dB boost (all the way up with the Acoustica EQ) in order to get it sounding anywhere near decent. As for the crash cymbals, they are just lightweight and limp. It sounds like someone has removed the snare (the loose spring that straps on underneath), which ends up making it sound like a tom with too much high-mids applied. My manual adjustments proved just as chaotic. the left crash is, by default, mapped to C#2, but it plays at C#3, and the rim-shot (Side-Stick) plays at C#2 but is mapped at C#1. The mapping feature in 'Settings' is all over the place too, whereby the octaves in midi are referenced wrongly, eg. They claim they've set up the eq correctly, but it's just plain wrong, and the inbuilt compressor controls do nothing.

I'm not surprised they gave up trying to make any money out of this because the quality is mediocre, and I would imagine the demands for a refund were appearing in droves.
