EZDRUMMER 2 REVIEW INSTALL
Several windows allow you to search and audition drum patterns quickly, and as you can imagine, this helps get a project on its way.ĮZdrummer 2 runs as an Audio Unit, VST, AAX, or RTAS plug-in, and I found it simple to install and get running in Pro Tools 10 on a Mac. Here you can tap a tempo and find patterns that are similar. In the Search window is Tap2Find, one of the coolest things they've added to EZdrummer 2. When you have the plug-in open, you can use the Song Creator window to essentially build a MIDI pattern, preview it, and then drop it into your MIDI or instrument track in your DAW. In the past, being restricted to a two- channel mix was one of the things that always scared me away from drum-production plug-ins, and now I've learned that a lot of programs can do this. Speaking of that, the mixer window allows you to control parts of the kit, room ambience, and other elements (e.g., bleed in the OH and bottom snare mics) for each kit, but you can also assign kick, snare, etc.
Parts of the drum kit can be subbed out easily through the visual representation of the kit in the plug-in a feature I've found more than helpful while building a track or mixing. Chuck's an ace recording engineer, and the Neve 88R and EMI TG12345 and REDD.51 consoles at British Grove don't hurt either these sounds are pretty amazing, versatile, and most importantly are usable.

Drum sounds feature variations on modern and vintage kits, plus percussion. First off, they commissioned new recordings from Chuck Ainlay, which were done at British Grove Studios in London. But the folks at Toontrack could not sit still, it seems, so they rebuilt their flagship product from the ground up. The original EZdrummer has been around since 2006 and is very popular and affordable.
EZDRUMMER 2 REVIEW PROFESSIONAL
I installed SD, and it looked to be very professional and deep, but before I got to using it, I was given a copy of EZdrummer 2 to try out before its general release. After a few emails to Andy and Scott here at Tape Op, I soon was in touch with Toontrack and had a copy of Superior Drummer 2.0 ($349) and many expansion packs in my hands. I was also on the threshold of an album that I knew would need to originate from drum loops or such, so I started looking around for a solution.

I downloaded a free "plug-in drum instrument" and started adding in kick and snare, and of course I saved the day with excellent mixes. This is a world I'd long ignored, but in the middle of mixing a hip-hop album where I was stuck with a lack of multitracks, I decided I should learn MIDI and bolster up the beats. These days, it's unlikely to find anyone trying to pass off a drum machine beat as real, as we have many DAW-based choices, ranging from real, recorded drum loops, to MIDI- programmable drum production software, like EZdrummer 2. But back then, you'd also come across albums where a drum machine was attempting to take the place of real drums on some songwriter's album or such, and usually failing miserably. They were rarely confused with real drums, but some had a quality that earned them time in the studio due to charm (e.g., Trio's Casio VL-1), intense sonic signatures (Cocteau Twins' E-MU Drumulator), or punchy abuse (Big Black's Roland TR-606, which they credited as "Roland"). Back in the '80s, when we needed a beat and didn't have a drummer present, we used to have analog and digital drum machines to keep time.
