'Useful' is, perhaps, not the right term, for me. All my drum stuff is useful, and I've used the Platinum SSD in a few compos, but not had the occasion to incorporate this SSD5. I gave it a spin on a 'dummy' track, just to see (and hear...) how it went; it went superbly. High quality sampling, 'dry', so future treatment is easy and not pre-coloured, great control over dynamics (as one would expect...). It'll surely feature one day soon, depending on the Basschat Compo Challenge throwing up a suitable vehicle. One cannot really complain at this price point, though; that would be silly. Altogether Good Stuff, and worth the disk space eaten up.
