If you're a drummer with an electronic drum set, chances are you've dipped your toe into the world of drum vst plugins such as Toontrack's Superior Drummer 3. Over the years, I've amassed a collection of SDX Expansion packs, and Black Friday is largely to blame. Every year I scour the internet for electronic drum set Black Friday deals and I can't resist seeing what SD3 expansion packs are also going cheap. Despite banning myself from buying more drum samples, Thomann is doing a pretty good job of making me break my own rule.
That's because it has the Toontrack Hitmaker SDX Expansion - one of the brand's more recent collections - reduced from £159 down to £88: one of the heftiest discounts I've seen since it was released.
But, it doesn't stop there, because the German retail giant has also got its knives out for a host of Toontrack titles, including Superior Drummer 3 and some of its best-regarded SDX Expansions for bargain prices of up to 73% off. Let's get choosing!
Recorded by legendary producer Hugh Padgham, Hitmaker puts the sound of classic '80s pop drums at the tip of your sticks. It contains nearly 95 gigabytes of acoustic and electronics samples, inspired by the likes of Phil Collins (yes, there's an In the Air Tonight preset), Stewart Copeland, Manu Katche, Vinnie Colaiuta to name a few.
Hitmaker SDX was recorded at the legendary British Grove Studios in London, where Padgham recaptured the flavour of some of the biggest albums he's worked on, using a Yamaha Recording Custom, Tama Imperialstar, Premier Elite Concert, Yamaha 8000 and a host of vintage drum machines from Roland, Linn, Simmons and others.
This deal offers a chance to bag one of Toontrack's best-loved and most distinctive add-on packs at a snip of the price. If you need to play authentic and tastefully-created '80s drum sounds from your electronic kit, or include them in your productions, now's your chance to do so at nearly half the usual cost.

It's not just big gated snares and concert toms that are on offer. Thomann has a whole host of Toontrack titles undergoing some aggressive price-slicing. Here are just a few covering pretty much every genre you're likely to need from an acoustic drum set.
These prices aren't going to hang around forever, and speaking from experience, Black Friday/Cyber Weekend traditionally yields the biggest discounts on Superior Drummer and its related SDX Expansions. There's plenty more to check out in the Thomann Cyber Week Sale, which features discounts of up to 70%.
