Damn good job...
A solid walk through of my favorite drum software ever! I like Superior Drummer 2 so well and I'm so use to working with it, I'm reluctant to crossgrade to 3.0! Toontrak - Keep Up The Great Work!

Great content, tiring tutor.
In general the content is great, but the tutor has a very individual presentational style, which gets a little tiring after a while. On top of that he keeps repeating even the most basic tasks forever (for example: routing each and everyone of the 32 busses).

Not very informative at all...
Not very informative at all... Way too much "look-how-easy-this-is!!" instead of practical step-by-step procedures and options

Well Done for Non-Drummers
Scott does a very good job of explaining the myriad of options available in Superior Drummer 2. I like that he repeats some of the features such as how to change knobs and other settings with a more refined approach. He has a light approach to explain the features, which is a nice contrast to some serious instructors.

Fantastic Tutorial
You people have some great reviewers, but Scott Grigg takes the cake. Uptempo southern cowboy is how he comes across and the delivery keeps your attention and makes it fun. I took three days to go through this series to both savor the experience and to let it all soak in. If you have Superior Drummer 2, this is must watch; if you are bored, watch this and it'll perk you up. Some of the installation videos are dated because most people will be downloading and installing instead of using DVDs.

Really great tutorial
I watched this a long time ago but it was very detailed and explained everything. After watching the series I was completely comfortable with the product and still use it regularly.

1. When did you start dabbling in music?
The earliest memory I have is when I was 7 years old - I got my first guitar. When I was 9 I got my first keyboard.
2. What training have you had?
Mostly self-trained; however, I was the drum major in high school (playing alto sax & drums/percussion), and majored in music for a short time.
3. When did you get into recording?
When I was around 10 years old I started to basic multi-tracking with my dual tape deck stereo. I would record a keyboard part; move that cassette into the other deck and do a playback while recording a new part into the "record" deck. Voila! Ghost tracks were something I hated back then!!
4. People you have worked with/for?
Let's see ... there was that fast food joint, the grocery store, the bolt company, the theater ...
5. Why are you so good at training people?
OK, how much did my mom pay you to say that I'm "good"? I guess it's because I try to have fun while showing folks what to do. If I get bored while making a video, I'm quite sure that the viewer will not be too stoked to watch it. I want people to feel like they could kick off their shoes, relax, and watch a video where they might learn something.
