Cut/copy/paste however I wish, and Bob’s your uncle. In under half an hour, I can effortlessly build up a basic song structure to accompany the guitar lines I punch in, thanks to the handy ‘Creator Bar’. Building Song Structures Hasn’t Been EasierĮZDrummer has been my drum rompler of choice for the past several years, for a singular reason: it’s downright the easiest plugin to get a songwriting vibe going.ĮZDrummer exists for those of us who only require a drum VST to get ideas flowing. Once I have laid down the foundations of a track, I send it over to a real drummer to do their thing, which more often than not, ends up being wildly different from what I programmed in in the first place!Īs a result, many of the features that come with Superior Drummer 3 end up being overkill for me. I only use drum romplers for demos and idea generation. Before you Superior Drummer fanboys start flaming me, let me explain my case. Opinion: EZDrummer Is Better For Songwriters I love Superior Drummer 3, but EZDrummer 2 stole my heart long ago. I’ve compiled a handy guide below which should help you make the right purchasing decision. They are entirely separate tools and depending on your circumstances, one will fit you better than the other depending on what you want from your drum tracks. They both have their pros and cons but deciding which is the best depends entirely on your own needs.ĮZDrummer 2 and Superior Drummer 3 isn’t just some clever marketing ploy to rebrand the same drum rompler and make double profits. In this case, neither are a clear winner. Like most things, the answer isn’t so clear cut, and just because Superior Drummer is more expensive, doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for you. Toontrack have done a fantastic job at developing both EZDrummer and Superior Drummer 3 (following on from, you guessed it, Superior Drummer 2), both have great drums sounds, but you might be wondering whether Superior Drummer is worth the extra cash. If you’re reading this, chances are that you’re in the market for a fantastic drum rompler that’ll take your songwriting to the next level. This is another great library that can certainly be of good use to many producers and musicians.EZDrummer VS Superior Drummer: Which Is Right For You? Latin Percussive EZX tries to solve that in a simple-to-use product. It can involve time, money, and finding great players. Although our Toontrack didn’t got very creative under the Mixer tab this time, not offering any interesting built in effects, you can easily mix to your taste each of instruments used in these complex beats.Īssembling a great variety of percussive instruments for your studio could be a hard task. If you can’t afford to craft complex grooves that include various instruments at once, just scroll all the way to the bottom and a Percussion Ensemble library is available, containing many groove-ready segments that encompass the principal percussion heavy music styles: Latino, Samba, African, Middle Eastern and Funk. And the beauty once again lays on the simplicity of click and drag to your DAW of choice. Under each of these musical styles you will find hundreds of types and hundreds of variations. The library is categorized displaying each instrument with different musical playing styles. It really explains why E and Z were placed into name the product. Once again, what sets this EZX apart from many other virtual drum plug-ins is the quantity of different arrangements you can find under the Grooves library tab. An arrow in each instrument marks a drop down menu where you can quickly assign different types of materials available for that instrument. All are visually arranged in another of their clean and realistic interfaces. Latin Percussion EZX comes with a extensive library of more than 80 instruments samples: congas, cajon, bongos, udu, shakers, tambourines, woodblocks, triangles, timbales, cowbells, guiros, chimes, maracas, cymbals and others. Toontrack accomplished the task of coming up with this multi-purpose EZX with the help of experienced Scandinavian drummer Mikael Emsing, who traditionally is not a Latin or African player, but a rock, pop and jazz session drummer. What you find here is true evidence of their hard work. Toontrack really put their best of efforts into Latin Percussion EZX so it could be a one and only stop type of product, where not only one could find drum solutions for ethnic music applications but also for any type of genre. The Latin Percussion EZX is Toontrack’s library of percussive instrument samples and MIDI grooves for their renowned “entry-level” virtual drum software, EZdrummer, especially designed to offer a wide array of possibilities for all the Latin/percussive beats you might need.
