The deal
$107 at PluginFox (down from $179). The sale runs through January 1, 2027.
What it is
SDX: Roots - Brushes, Rods & Mallets is an expansion pack for Toontrack's Superior Drummer 3. It captures a wide selection of drums and cymbals played with brushes, rods and mallets, recorded by Roy "Futureman" Wooten at Blackbird Studio in Nashville. The result is a warm, organic kit sound that spans jazz, blues, hip-hop and rock.
Who it's for
Producers and drummers who already use Superior Drummer 3 and want softer, more dynamic playing styles than standard sticks. It suits jazz, soul, singer-songwriter and cinematic work where a gentle, realistic kit matters.
