I got everything working great. I really like the sdse software I cant live without it now.

Mark J.

“

This tool is really helpful. I had no desire and no time to extract all the files from Superior Drummer 2 and then do all the things to generate .dsnd files. With SDSE it's so simple.

Tobias K.

“

It's a no brainer, sit behind your computer for hours and hours on end making samples OR purchase SDSE, click export and go do something more valuable with your time.

I'm truly amazed by your software. It's the perfect tool, worth every cent. I'm really enjoying my drums now.

Ales P.

“

WOW! This tool is amazing. I was able to get all of my SSD5 drums exported so I'll now be able to use them with my drum module. I did this in less than one day. It would have taken me months to do this manually. That's assuming that I could even do it at all. Thank you for this amazing tool.

This thing is amazing... When the orange haze descends and things start happening real fast, it's a beautiful sight to behold!

This software is amazing! I was building kits within minutes of buying SDSE. The customer service is the best I have ever seen.

Set up your kit layout with DKit Manager (free feature)

You can customize the kit layout used by SDSE if you have split your tom pads to add more cymbals or if you use any custom setup.

Use DKit Manager to set up your kit Layout.
When you export a kit for the DrumIt Five or DrumIt Three SDSE will use the current layout setting from DKit Manager to build a .dkit file that matches your own setup.
