Find Your Groove Get the groove you are looking forquick, easy and straight to the point. The answer to your question is in the FAQ for Pro Tools | First: EZdrummer 2 is a completely redesigned program, including a host of groundbreaking songwriting tools, new drum and percussion sounds, improved audio engine and much, much more. Please post questions about PT|F in the sub-forum specifically for that product. In terms of features EZ Drummer 2 now leaps past Addictive Drums and may replace Superior Drummer - unless of course they upgrade that too.Is it at all possible to use the ezdrummer plugin in pro tools first if i've bought it ? I have used Addictive Drums and liked it although I am not sure the MIDI mapping is standard in EZ Drummer either. I do find that function very useful - just dragging say the Hi Hat across to DP of a groove. One good thing about Superior Drummer is you can choose to use single kit pieces of a groove - I don't think this is possible in EZ Drummer 2. And the Grooves are brilliant with so many options. I have a few EZX's - the Drumkit From Hell and the new Rock! kits I think are very good - but the standard ones that are included are only adequate - but the EZX's make the difference but of course cost extra. it's just about the sounds.Īlso coming soon is Addictive Drums 2, and in a lot of ways I preferred their kits, although they used non-standard MIDI mapping as I recall? it just occurred to me that they COULD take that section and split it off into a better EZ Player Pro maybe? I haven't used that in a while.Īll in all, the song construction stuff looks good. I was never blown away by the kits for EZ Drummer 'Classic.' I do like the song construction features, etc. To me it's going to boil down to the sound of the kits available.
