More fun if you wanted to mix your own drums and get into the thick of it. So short version: I think BFD has always kind of been the nerdy, less immediately easy to use product. Whereas I think SD3 made their GUI even more slick looking and also got a nice content upgrade. It wasn’t very friendly looking, and it was still pretty complex. When BFD3 hit, I think the content dramatically improved as did the presets, but the GUI went in a very unfriendly direction with the wireframe look. SD2 probably came out then and focused less on metal, but they kept things simple. But Platinum Samples started to put out some killer packs around that time. Some of the tunings just weren’t for me (a little too loose) and the room sounds were too roomy IMO. I never really fell in love with the factory content. BFD2 came out, and the feature set expanded quite a bit, the GUI changed but was still nice, but the complexity level increased.
Me, not being interested in metal, didn’t care much. I’ve never actually used a Toontrack product, I was already on BFD when it was first to the scene, but the original Super Drummer seemed very heavily geared towards metal with mix-ready patches. My guess is the GUI and ease of use have a lot to do with it.
