Drum VST's

Yo, been told to ask about in here,

Im looking to get a nice juicy latptop soon and I wanna do a fair bit of midi fun with my v-drum kit. anyone messed about with this before? any fairly impressive pieces of software out there with fantastic drum samples etc?

Would really be interested in a vst that alters the sample depending on how hard you are hitting the pads etc... i.e. soft snare sound growing to a loud sound.

Fxpansion BFD is the best for realistic drum kits, heard good things about toontracks DFH (drumkit from hell) but never used it also Native instruments Battery is good but its more orientated to electronic music composition

I don't know of any drum instrument that would change the sample depending on velocity in the way you describe. It sounds pretty interesting though. Have you ever heard of Max/MSP? Its a really powerful graphical programming language that lets you take a huge amount of control over MIDI and audio signals, you could probably make your own kickass drum synth/sampler with it.

BFD and Battery do all that velocity stuff. Its common enough amongst decent drum vsts.
