DFH2 mappings?

hi!
i just purchased Drumkit From Hell 2 on ebay and i'm waiting for it to arrive.
it is the "old" east west version, with the kontakt player.
meanwhile... is there anyone who has a JS2 mapping for this product?

IIRC the old DFH2 uses GM-extended mapping like most Toontrack products, so EZdrummer or Superior mappings should be basically correct. Note that Toontrack provides no support for the product anymore and has basically disowned it, considering it a rather low point in their product history.

why a low point?
the samples should be great for metal... or not?!?

The samples themselves are fine- they are, IIRC, simply the original DFH samples repackaged in a Kompakt player. It's more said player that's the issue; it's buggy and has much higher RAM and CPU requirements than the DFH samples would in other samplers, or in the EZdrummer expansion version.
