Extinction Level Event

I got into ELE in the early days before the big update and it's been my go-to drum library for a while now.

Lots of pieces and various options to play around with, although it's made with more hard rock and metal in mind it's more than capable of handling anything really as the raw sounds are pretty raw and so make a perfect starting point for tone-shaping for what you need for your song.

The interface is easy enough to use and if you've used any other Kontakt-based drum libraries you'll feel fairly at home and comfortable using it but if you're starting out it could seem a little daunting at first but it is pretty intuitive once you get your head around it.

I'm still learning to use it, but so far I really like it

Full sound. Pretty happy when I get a plugin that is good. Would recommend

ELE has allowed me to create a foundation that is solid and appealing to the ear. Sounds like the real deal, which makes recording in a home studio easier than ever. I know my tracks will have a solid sound behind them. Thank you Glenn and Team!

Exceeded my expectations. This is it!

Amazing sound, very easy to use. Simplified my recording sessions. Excellent product.

easy to map e-kit. Menu is easy to navigate. Was able to use with Logic Pro right away. Sounds are really good, nice and solid. Looking forward to making some music.

An excellent selection of drums/cymbals, great sounding articulations, and all around great quality sound. This absolutely competes with the other big drum sample names out there!

HOLY SHIT!!! You gotta hear this. You won't believe it.

Great and realistic-sounding drum library....
Very easy to tweak the sound that you want; but I think that the stock presets sound amazing.
There are a generous amount of MIDI grooves to build songs with -that will keep you inspired.
The MIDI mapping is super easy to change if you wish to bring in some 3rd party MIDI packs to your project. I really love working with The Extinction Level Event drum plug-in. 10 out of 10!!!!!

Honestly, if you want the best collection of drum samples to cut through the mix without shilling out a crapton of cash, this will definitely do the job.

It just sounds so real and it feels so real to mix. So intuitive. I love it to no end.

It sounds and options in this are amazing. I’m most impressed and extremely grateful that there’s bit mapping for Guitar Pro! Finally! I don’t have to do it myself.

Great control over the drum sound, bleed control is a huge plus, amazing sound out of the box.

It sounds super great out of the box. No need to fuck around with anything to make it work. They weren't bullshitting when they said mix ready drums lmao.

The manual is lacking. I shouldn't have to search for third party info/videos to get info on things like how to rout multiple outputs. Spectres videos are all about you selling it, not how I use it. A video tutorial actually using it in a mix would be nice.
I know I can change it but why are the factory toms assigned/mapped backwards to the keyboard, high tom is low note and low tom is higher note?

I had critical mass of drum VSTs with SSD5, Tony Coleman, EW Pro Drummer, etc., but when I heard about Glenn's personal crisis I felt buying a plugin was a gesture at least. And it is GREAT. Only scratched the surface thus far but remapping is easy and sounds are phenomenal.

This is pretty much the only midi drum programme that I use now. Yep, you'll never beat live drum recordings, that's a fact but if you want the best in midi drums then this is probably the most realistic option. The presets are great out of the box but there's so much scope here to tailor your own sound that the possibilites are almost endless. Easy to set up, easy to use and easy to get going right away with ELE drums, absolutely no complaints whosoever on this one. Also includes mappings for Getgood Drums, Standard midi mapping, EZ Drummer, Superior Drummer, two Roland kits and Addictive Drums too. Full configurable velocities, drum tunings, bleed settings and effects there really isn't anything lacking here. Bargain as far as I'm concerned. Bravo Glenn, you've really come up with a great product here.

One of the best kits I own. I'm not a drum programmer, I use these through my Roland V Drums. Everything has been great so far except for the hihat. I haven't found the proper settings for it to work right. I'm sure it's something simple on my end. Other than that, my only other pet peeve is, the one ride cymbal has a long decay that turns into a noise artifact of sorts. It almost sound like a hum that was driving me crazy at first because I didn't know where it was coming from! Those two little things aside, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Great drums, better and more natural feeling than other alternatives.

Absolutely love it. Totally flexibility to eq and compress and very realistic 👌

Blows the competition out of the water. Seriously massive sound. Love it.

Was kinda of a pain to setup on Linux but after going for the legacy installer of native access worked wonders with yabridge on my install of reaper great plugin
