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. I'm sure some of the progressive metal grooves that I have will be better for some things, but playing them myself is also giving me more of an idea of what I would need to do to edit the loops for more interesting and varied fills.EZDrummer VS Superior Drummer: Which Is Right For You? I may not be a great drummer, but it is a helluva a lot more fun to play your own drums than it is to do things the way I used to. More recently I have been triggering the SD3 kits with my Roland TD25. I have also used it as a writing tool by just auditioning various MIDI loops and putting them into a song format and then jamming with the song until I come up with a few ideas on what I want to play with them. I used to use the Tap-to-find feature to find grooves that fit a pattern I was looking for and it can really save you some time when you have a basic rhythmic idea. I think my task for today will be to check out the Death presets and waste the day on that. Darkness has a lot of good starting points and I have already added my own tweaks to a couple of different variations. I just picked up the Death and Darkness SDX and I haven't even gotten around to checking out any of the Death presets yet. (the first electronic one for when I want electronic drums, for example.)

I have a few that cover my needs, as well as a couple of EZ Drummer packs that fit in now and then.
