With Emergent Drums 2 on sale for $79 right now, this is the most acknowledgement I’ve put towards the program/company since its initial release not too long ago.

From what I’ve seen and heard, it just doesn’t seem very impressive to me, especially for the price. I remember thinking this when it was initially $100; and ever since then, they’ve steadily been bumping up the price to where it’s now $249.

For those of you that have it, I have a few questions:

  • How often do you use Emergent Drums 2 in your workflow?
  • Does it feel more like a tool or a toy?
  • How satisfied are you with the samples that generate from the product?
  • Do you often use Emergent Drums samples as placeholders, and later load in other samples when you find the right one?
  • Would you earnestly recommend Emergent Drums to a friend for $249? $149? $79?
