EZ Drummer - Suitable?

Post by BradGray » Tue Nov 21, 2023 4:23 pm

Hey Passengers!

In watching last nights episode of Taxi TV, one of the submissions had used superior drummer, and the sounds were great! In looking at their products, I noticed they also have the newest edition of EZ Drummer 3, and I was rather impressed at what it can do, and its features.

Question - Anyone else using EZ Drummer, and is it good enough quality for submission? I was rather surprised with the options around it creating grooves based on your own track.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Getting sucked into some of the Black Friday deals, so looking for suggestions/feedback before I do anything rash here. =)

Cheers,
Brad

If you are referring to what Keith L Brant said he uses I believe he said "Superior drummer 3"

Yes that's the one from last night. Same company, differing products. Curious if EZ was just as suitable (though not as feature-rich) as Superior Drummer 3. I was surprised how it sounded. Anything that can speed up the creation process, and forward process would be a good thing. =)

I'm still using EZDrummer 2. Its on many of my tracks that have been broadcast and plenty good enough for me so I haven't even bothered upgrading to v3 yet (but will eventually). If you want the ultimate in detailed control you might want what SD offers but EZD3 looks very impressive.

EZ Drummer is a brilliant product, it may not have all of the nuances offered by Superior Drummer, but it certainly gets the job done very well

I've been using Superiod Drummer for a long time and it is stellar. Couldn't live without it.

Most of my Sync tracks feature Addictive Drums or EZdrummer - very viable for Sync use

Thanks for all the great responses!

I'm going to have to look to pick up a copy of one of those products asap! When diving into it, I was surprised with some of the features of EZ (likely in the other software packages too) where you can drag & drop a file and it will generate a groove and feel for you based on the reference file. That could certainly be powerful and time saving.

Belated reply-
I have used Toontrack products since "Drumkit from Hell" "DFH" came out during the Bush Administration...
I have both, Superior 3 and EZ 3, but I always seem to use EZ 3...it has everything that one needs, and I like to process the kit with plugins out in the DAW anyway...and the EZX Drums expansions just sound better to me - Im a fanboy for sure
