This Drum Software Lets You Focus on Your Music

Want killer drum tracks? Toontrack's EZdrummer multi-microphone drum sampler software is the answer you've been looking for. Short of hiring a highly-experienced session drummer who's well versed in a broad range of musical styles, EZdrummer is simply the best, most economical way to get totally realistic drum tracks into your sessions. Best of all, you don't need to be a MIDI-programing guru to put EZdrummer to work. With a couple of mouse clicks, you can audition drums, drag and drop loops in to your DAW, and construct complete drum tracks. Keep reading to find out more reasons why Sweetwater Sales Engineers love Toontrack's EZdrummer rhythm software.



Toontrack EZdrummer Multi-microphone Drum Sampler Software at a Glance:
  • Freakishly easy-to-use software interface
  • Incredibly detailed drum sounds and MIDI grooves
  • Easily integrates into your system

Freakishly easy-to-use software interface
True to its name, Toontrack's EZdrummer is one of the easiest-to-use programs of its kind. EZdrummer's user interface is extremely visually oriented, with virtually all of the important functions available right on the surface. It's incredibly intuitive. That means you don't have to dig through menus to find the sounds you want. If you want to hear what a drum sounds like, just click on the drum in the graphic layout. Want to load a groove? EZdrummer's simple groove browser lets you quickly find the rhythm you're looking for, and you can drag and drop grooves right into your DAW for sequencing. There's nothing to it!

Incredibly detailed drum sounds and MIDI grooves
Under the hood, EZdrummer is anything but simple. Each drum sound is made of up hundreds of samples that automatically switch, change volume, and blend together to provide you with perfectly realistic results. What's more, the sounds that come with EZdrummer were recorded at Avatar Studios in New York by an amazing team that included producer Pat Thrall (Glenn Hughes, Black Crowes), engineer Neil Dorfsman (Kiss, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Sting), and drummer Nir Z, whose credits include Genesis and Joss Stone. In addition to recording the drum sounds, this team also laid down over 8,000 MIDI grooves - and that's just the basic EZdrummer content! There's a huge selection of EZX expansion packs to choose from, so no matter the style, finding the right drums for your music is easy.

Easily integrates into your system
Let's face it, not all music technology seems to get along. One of things we at Sweetwater love about EZdrummer is how incredibly stable and compatible it is. That may be because Toontrack didn't design EZdrummer to require loads and loads of RAM or the latest and greatest processors, but that's just part of it. What's also great about EZdrummer is how easy it is to play with MIDI controllers, including electronic drums that use advanced MIDI to regulate the hi-hat's open and closed position (e.g. Roland's V Drums). This makes EZdrummer an obvious choice, especially if you know you'll want to use it with any kind of advanced MIDI setup.

Toontrack EZdrummer Multi-microphone Drum Sampler Software Features:
  • Simple and easy-to-use plug-in that lets you add realistic drums to your projects
  • Great for all levels of skill, from entry-level users to professional drum programmers
  • Intuitive visual layout makes auditioning drum sounds and grooves easy
  • Drag-and-drop groove browser lets you easily arrange your drum tracks in your favorite DAW
  • Import your own MIDI rhythms into the library
  • Multiple-microphone mixer control lets you get the perfect balance for your track
  • Preset mix modes allow you to quickly change your sound
  • Velocity sweep allows you to change the overall intensity of your sounds
  • Humanizer function combines drum hit randomization and non-cycling sample triggering
  • Operates in General MIDI for maximum convenience
  • Included sounds feature 7,500 sound files at CD-quality 16-bit/44.1kHz (equivalent to 1.5Gb of uncompressed WAV files)
  • TPC II sample-expression system reduces system requirements, allowing you the get amazing results from a less-than-new computer
  • GMS drum kit recorded at Avatar Studios, New York by world-class drummers and producers including: producer Pat Thrall (Glenn Hughes, Black Crowes), engineer Neil Dorfsman (Kiss, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Sting), and drummer Nir Z (Genesis and Joss Stone)
  • Supports VST, Audio Unit, and RTAS formats

EZ Drummer is a great rhythm program for everyone!

Can't beat this virtual drummer for the price!

by Mike B from New England
January 12, 2012
Music Background: Guitarist/songwriter/home recordist
I've just started using this on a couple of songs - a definite step up from a programmableBoss rhythm machine!
As a songwriter/home recordist, I needed some variety in my rhythm tracks that I c... read more [+]ould not get by playing the drum parts on my sampling keyboard.
You do need recording software that allows MIDI recording to use this software. I've been using it with Reaper (only $60, free to try out), and it works easily - just drag and drop the 'grooves' from EZD into place. For those who want more, MIDI editing is pretty easy, once you get the hang of it, so you can modify the existing grooves to your own taste and 'feel', even create new ones. There's a variety of drum and cymbal sounds with the standard package, and many expansion packs available with more drum sets and sounds, too.
Thanks to a holiday sale, I got the download-only software from Sweetwater for a sweet deal, too! close [-]

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
