Review: Traynor DB300 Stirs Up Some Competition | | When so many products try to do everything these days, and many wind up trying to handle so many various tones that they wind up a "jack-of-all-trades" with mediocre sound across the board. This was definitely not the case when I opened up the Traynor DB300. Traynor kept it simple in shipping: power cord, amp, and a printed out and stapled manual, packaged tightly into a cardboard shipping box. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, so I took it to a gig that very night.

Or should I be thanking the Devil?
The Drum Kit from Hell was actually how I personally found out about Toontrack. I’ve been a huge fan of the Swedish metal band Meshuggah and its drummer Thomas Haake for some time now and Haake is one of the Scandinavian drummers who contributed in the creation the DFH. It was used in the production of Meshuggah’s 2005 studio album, Catch Thirtythree.
Stories aside, let’s get down to business.
Once you load the DFH on your EZdrummer you will see an 8-piece Sonor drum kit with a flame shell finish and a 12-piece cymbal set that includes hats, splashes, cras(Click Headline For More!)
