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.

Using BFD3 drum samples transforms the Drumit Five completely, from something which sounds like e-drums into something which is almost indistinguishable from a real drum kit.SDSE is a *super* slick and easy way to accomplish this; at this price you'd be crazy not to buy it!
“
SDSE ROCKS! This is one incredible tool. I have spent countless hours building dsnds one at a time. This tool makes it a super simple and super fast process for doing an entire kit in minutes.“
SDSE is absolutely insane! It's exhausting to create each .dsnd file and probably I would use most of the original 2box sounds without this tool (actually probably I would use a Roland kit without SDSE for 2box).After a few clicks with the SDSE I have an extensive variety of realistic sounds from my VST library and also the kit file. It's a dr...
“
This software is a pure marvel. I very easily created several sound banks for my Roland TD17 drum kit, which allows me to avoid turning on my PC and enjoy kits that have a sound very close to what my VST software gives me. It's appreciated !!!“
I'm truly amazed by your software. It's the perfect tool, worth every cent. I'm really enjoying my drums now.“
Your SDSE tool is real gem, I have already added at least 7 great kits and all my favorite cymbals to Drumit Five module :)“
Fantastic tool! Easy installation, fairly straight forward setup, takes about 20min to export an entire SSD3 preset. Start it and come back later, couldn't be simpler. One drum exported over a hundred WAV files, one SSD3 expansion (10 presets later) resulted in 258 folders of said files.. plenty of samples to choose from! Very happy!
