I'm really liking the Nashville EZX. I was hesitant to buy it because I am not a country fan but figured its namesake is basically the music capitol of the USA. Sounds are pretty decent. As mentioned above they are processed but you can play with them quite a bit in the mixer section to remove what you don't want. It is kind of an all or nothing in terms of the fine tuning isn't there, you buy Superior Drummer for that capability or use your recording program's mixer capabilities to fine tune. But there is some decent playability within the mixer section if you take the time. The edit function is your best friend, though, when it comes to variation in the midi. And I love that you are not limited to an EZX drum kits in order to use the midi tracks. So, if I like the Nashville's midi tracks but I want the Ludwig kit from the Vintage EZX I can do that. I will say, I am older (early 50s) and to me, these processed sounds are pretty much perfect for the type of music I love. They really have that old school vibe. I also do contemporary Christian music and, again, they are great for that as Nashville is home for that style of music. I also have "The Classic" and I love those sounds. I've used a number of programs and analog loops and I am just loving these. I am really considering Superior Drummer but hate the idea of having just upgraded a month ago to EZDrummer 2 and then going and changing again.
