I have both EZDrummer and Superior Drummer. Probably have around $1500 tied up in just Toontracks drum software. I also have Addictive Drums which is better for rock. Two or three other drum programs.

If I could only have one it would be Superior Drummer.

You will find almost everything you need in EZdrummer. It is a well-put-together program and easy to use.

Nothing special on the tracks, just messing around. The 12-bar was a test of EZbass.

Thanks Billy appreciate the post and soundcloud links .

To me Biab Real drums sound like they have been recorded behind a partition or >>>>>?.

This does sound real and alive !!.

superior drummer gives a brilliant sound !!, and That bass sounded to me as one of the best I've heard for a long time !!

Beatmaster, just checking that you know about the Tone control in the mixer. Make the mixer wider and Tone becomes a slider. It can do wonders for a RealTrack or RealDrum track.

Or alternatively generate the RD with no reverb or tone and then use something like Waves CLA Drums on the track. It will really bring them to life in the mix IMHO.

I thought the same thing at first about RD's, but as other have mentioned a little effort goes a long way.

If you are used to working with raw live drum tracks, that's how they often sound once recorded; some of the life is lost .. plus for most users they have been further processed to WMA files and lose a little more life.
Some EQ, and maybe a little appropriate reverb can bring them back to life.
An EQ plugin gives quite a bit more control than the Tone dial.

That said, yes some of the drum plugins are pretty dang good sounding (and also available).


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I've used several different drum programs (not sure EZDrummer was one of them) but, for my money, BIAB has the best drums out there. It's one of the reasons I first became interested in the program.

Wonder whether those using EzD2 also use the Midi Groove packs sold by Toontrack.
Any experience with other 3rd party vendors like GrooveMonkee.
Seems like an expeditious way to get the groove started.

Or do most people just roll their own.

I’ve purchased a few groove monkee midi packs. In fact some of the demos I posted earlier in the thread probably used groove monkee midi.
