Namaru Battery is no better than ReDrum unless you have the single shot samples in nkt(???) format that's NI's propritary (I tell you the quality is damn good). If you want to use regular samples in WAV format, then ReDrum is all you need. I have the batttery and it's no use since I've the Synthetic samples in nkt format which I'm not that interested.Also Batttery is not a very stable thing in VST format, stand alone is good though.
