What it is

SDX: Roots - Sticks is a drum expansion library for Toontrack's Superior Drummer, recorded by drummer Roy "Futureman" Wooten at Blackbird Studio in Nashville. It captures an organic, vintage-leaning kit sound suited to jazz, blues, hip-hop and rock, with roughly 36 GB of unprocessed audio tracked through high-end outboard gear and microphones.

Who it's for

Superior Drummer users who want a warm, roots-style kit with real character for soul, blues, jazz-influenced and rock productions. A good fit if you want dynamic, human-sounding stick performances rather than a heavily processed modern kit.

• 23 separately recorded, adjustable mixer channels give you detailed control over the kit's mix
• The library includes a range of drums and cymbals from Pearl, Gretsch, Ludwig, Zildjian and Paiste
• Custom MIDI grooves are included
• It requires Superior Drummer 2.3 or newer and about 36 GB of free disk space
