The library was called Drumkit From Hell. They called Tomas Haake drummer of Heavy Metal band Meshuggah to record the drum samples. In 1999 producers Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah and Mattias Eklund of Toontrack Music decided to design a sample library for their own use. Toontrack Music were originally started as a production company for composing game and movie soundtracks. MIDI is downloadable upon product registration. The Metal Foundry SDX was recorded and produced at Atlantis Studios in December 2008 by the original Drumkit From Hell recording team, Mattias Eklund (Toontrackr Music), Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah), Daniel Bergstrand (Dug Out Studios) and Tomas Haake (Meshuggah). This in turn has spawned such groundbreaking products as dfh Superior, EZdrummerr and Superior Drummerr 2.0. The Metal Foundry SDX celebrates the Toontrack Music Hard Rock and Heavy Metal legacy of the first Drumkit From Hell, on which the company has built its following. The Metal Foundry SDX is an all-new recording with Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake, featuring 7 x massive drum kits, spanning 300000 sound files of raw, single hit drum recordings in the vein of Drumkit From Hell and dfh Superior, covering Hard Rock to Metal, from the early Blues tinged sound of the late 60s to the fragmentation of today's music, from Power through Thrash, Death and Progressive Metal.

The originators of multi sampled drums and Drumkit From Hell, Toontrack, Music presents an all-new SDX expansion pack for Superior Drummerr 2.0: The Metal Foundry SDX.
