SD3 blows away EZD2 with respect to features, but honestly most of it is stuff I won't use.

I’m a firm believer in If it works don’t fix it, so for now I’m going to stick with my Mimic and pass on EZDrummer and probably Superior Drummer. What I love though is that you can use both Edit Style and a MIDI grid to build your grooves. Hope not to offend anyone here just my 2-cents. Now, let’s muddy the waters here a bit with another question I have for you if you please. I don't know how much you've read up about EZD2 but the way you make songs is pretty cool. You start with something in their groove library, like maybe hard rock 140 bpm or whatever. Then you can edit it by for example changing the power hand from the hi hat to the ride, turn a dial to add more snare hits, change from crash cymbal to china, etc. Then copy and paste, use different grooves for the chorus/bridge. I could always get close to what I wanted that way, but to get it exact you had to import into an midi editor and do your adjustments there. I found the process tedious so I never bothered after the first few times. SD3 has a midi editor built in and well as the edit styles feature of EZD2.įor me it was money well spent. I'm getting massive sounding drums now whereas before they were just passable. But if you're more budget conscious, EZD2 would serve you well.Looking for the cheapest way to eventually get Superior Drummer 3, getting EZ drummer 2 first and upgrading would spread the expense over time but I don’t want to spend much more going that route than buying SD3 standalone.

It looks like in previous years toontrack has done Black Friday deals on EZD2 and some SDXs and EDXs but nothing much off SD3 on its own. I’m interested in playing Rock, some metal and punk at first. To be honest the pop punk EZX looks like it would be right up my street as I used to enjoy playing along to that sort of music when I played acoustic drums in the past and I’m a big fan of Green Day and Goldfinger. Of the SDXs there seems to be several compelling choices like Legacy of Rock, Decades and rooms of Hansa but I think Death and darkness would probably be my first choice.

Im thinking wait and see if there is a Black Friday cheap deal on EZ2 and then upgrade or see if they do a deal bundling one of the SDXs I really want with SD3. Improve the quality of our services and develop new.
