    Addictive Drums 2 is the easiest of them to install and configure. It's the least (not) expandable but it's very good. It's also the smallest hdd space use.

    Imho... no. I really like Toontrack. But given your issues I would try GetGood drum libraries on Kontakt. That or Addictive Drums.

    I'd consider solving installation problems instead of looking for alternatives. SD3 is unmatched quality/workflow wise IMHO

    Apart from Addictive (with all its expansions @clone :winker:) you could try fxpansion's BFD.

    For EZdrummer (on Mac at least), when I first installed it I created a folder EZDrummer on an external drive, dumped in all the expansions and midi data that came with the release; and pointed the EZdrummer plugin to that location to look for the content. Could not get much easier.

    What details you should provide is what Operating System, which release you are installing, and examples of the error messages you might get as screenshots or copy the text. After such big downloads, it's worth a little extra effort.

    there are some useful really good sounding kontakt library by Room Sound, Mixwave and GGD if you want to try something other than Toontrack products.

    You should try to fix the problem. It sounds like a small issue if the program opens alright. Having used them for drums exclusively for many years, I can honestly say it will be worth the effort.

    I have EZd 2, SD3 on win 7 with no issues also.
