- Опубліковано 12 тра 2024
- EZdrummer 3's Grooves Tab by Toontrack can be the heaviest contender to composing drums in your song. Here's a video to help take it to the next level using Filters, Selections, Exclude, the Filter String, Tap2Find, Search Box, and more.
**Kurt reminds me that selecting "search with current filters" in Tap2Find will not clear your filter string.

Just watched this video for about the 4th time (over 3-4 months). I pick up a couple more nuggets each time. I’m calling you the onion man . A lot of layers. Thanks Shawn
Great to hear, Justin!
My morning, a cup of coffee and Shootie School... Groove Parts! how did I not know about this? A cup of joe for you my friend.
There’s a load of useful tips and reminders there. Cheers Shawn!
Thanks you, Marc!
Fantastic videos. Was leery about using the groove editor instead of my usual DAW but after watching and working about an hour with your video's I "leveled up" drastically. The efficiency and accuracy is way up..The "show similar grooves" feature is especially handy. Also the masters are incredibly easy to tweak to perfection. Thanks!!!!!!!
Great to hear!!
Hierarchy explanations are very helpful.
Great to hear!
OMG! I never used EZD3 tap to find. I always assumed it was identical to previous versions of Toontrack tap to find, which I hated. This is totally different. I used it tonight and found it incredibly useful!
Great to hear!
08:42 this is inspiring me to create my own beats for songs i'm practicing guitar/bass/vocals to, then save them as midi grooves (and also save the kit preset that goes with it), with a proper name (containing the name of the artist and the song), and then recall it anytime i'm practicing, so that i can use them as flexible deluxe backing tracks.
Ex : intro riff to joe satriani's "friends"... Way better to practice this alongside the programmed drum beat than to a metronome... And i programmed the drum beat, tweaked the sound and saved it in less than 5 minutes and will be able to use it anytime i practice from now on.
Ohh, so you can move them..Whoohoo! Filters and selecting more than one. Learning. Thanks Shawn
Great to hear, Colleen!
This is really in depth and superb info, several new things I learned yet again from you Shawn, Thanks a mill man!
You got it. Thank you, Michael!!
No one explains things as well as you - cheers mate 👍
Thank you for saying, Steve!
Thanks Shawn Helpful as Water to a Boat
I'll take tha! Thank you, Matt!
01:23 reordering columns to prioritize them (ex : time signature first)
Another useful and insightful video! Thanks again Shawn! Don't forget EZ Keys 2 is out today.
Thank you, Tim!
It's May 16th, BTW ;) I wouldn't be at work but at home making videos otherwise.
@@ShootieSchool You are 100% correct. I received a tweet saying "EZ Keys 2 out today" I've been had!
Very helpful as always! thanks so much, Shootie 🤘🏻
Awesome, thank you!!
Thanks this was great
Great to hear!
Great vid. Thanks..
Harley!!
Great info. Thx
You bet!
Fantastic vid, as usual Shawn! I had only dabbled a little with the filters, and hadn't even touched Tap to Find yet, so I learned a ton of useful tips! Thanks!!!
Great to hear!!! Thank you!
Another great video, Shawn. I’ll be doing a lot of experimentation today with these Grooves tab ideas.
The last tip or so around self-correcting reminds me of reading choose-your-own-adventure books in Jr high and cheating by finding an ending I liked then working backwards to find the story. Haha.
Rock on, Shawn!
Use to read those all of the time!
I notice you have Superior Drummer libraries included in EZDrummer. How do you get them in there? I have SD2 and just got EZD3 and can't figure it out.... Great videos! Thanks for all the help!
If they were installed far apart in time from each other they probably are not sharing the same midi/sound directory. It’s been a while since I used SD2. If you know where it’s midi is stored, you could drag it to the ezd3 midi folder, can only guess that would work. With SD3/EZD3 it’s seems automatic.
Thanks! Enjoy a cup of coffee.
I really appreciate the support, Frank! Makes my day!!!
21:10 that drum beat is soooo Foo Fighters' "learn to fly" verses :)
Thrash, thanks for lighting up my channel with comments the past few days! Welcome!
@@ShootieSchoolYou're welcome. You do great work that's very useful for people like me and that needs to be acknowledged !
And you got me to get back more in-depth in SD3, when i had only scratched the surface on this amazing piece of software until then.
Great to hear!
I was looking for the polka drum solo. Still can’t find it. 😊 as always, your videos are not only entertaining, but truly educational and your approach is so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.
I think you have to try Tap2Find for that!! Lol!
It's funny because a sped up polka beat is used so much in metal, hardcore and punk rock, and is definitely in the existing midi grooves. It's just not named "polka" :)
It's often called a "skank beat" too, but neither skank or polka will give you anything with the search box if you use the free midi libraries that come with the SDXs...
You can find sped up polaka beat by typing "thrash" though.
Easier to tap2find it and then tweak it and save it as "polka" i think :)
FYI - At minute 11:30, when you do tap to find, if you already had a filter string you can click "search with current filters" and it will keep all your previously selected filters intact. ;-)
Good callout, Kurt! I will add that to my pinned comment. Thanks for bringing it up!!

Great video as always question
Today I was searching for a cowbell. Couldn't ever find it. I thought I vould just add a cowbell using edit play style. But couldn't figure it out
On the Drums Tab> right side of screen>right click on Claps>select Cowbell. Now try doing whatever you were doing.
@ShootieSchool why why why why did I not see that. Shootie just shoot me . I'm sooooo stupid. Thanks here's what I was doing wrong.. I tried to change from hand clap to cowbell while in " edit play style" which doesn't work that way
@@spyderyates4587 WHY??? Because I need more comments on my vids... that's why!!! lol! Enjoy!!
Hey thanks for the video Shawn. As always, great information here. I do have a question about EZbass though. Are there other places where I can find good Midi packs (for bass) other than Toontrack (obviously) and Groove Monkey that you would recommend? I'm a metal/hard rock guy. Thanks in advance.
I have not sought it out myself. Maybe you can let me know if you find anything on your end?
Great video and advice. Something I have being trying to find, in EZD3 and on the stores midi packs, is a reverse snare. I know there’s a way of creating one with a reverse reverb, but thought I would ask, just in case you have come across one. Looking to recreate the snare style on Billy Squier’s The Stroke. Thanks.
Tough one out of the box. Superior Drummer does this natively. Though you have to tweak the timing. So I'd have to say similar to EZD3, except you need a OneShot sound loaded into your snare. With EZ, it might be an equal effort to just export a snare sound, reverse it in your DAW, and have a snare audio track and manually place them. Off the top of my head that's what I have. Never thought about optimizing a workflow for it.
Hmmm. In EZD3. You could finish the song with regular snare... Swap it out last minute with a OneShot.... then in Grid editor select the snare for your entire song and use the nudge command until it lines up perfect. That will do it. Search One Shots on my channel home page if you're not sure what they are in EZ.
@@ShootieSchool Thank you Shawn. You have given me some ideas to try out. Much appreciated!
@@jimmcdougall9973 You got it.
"on the stores midi packs"
A reverse snare is not something that is played... There is no way for a drummer to play a reverse snare hit :)
It is a production effect, so you won't find in a midi pack :)
Great Tutorial! One thing Im having a hard time doing in EZ Drummer is getting a good Shaker Groove added to a current drum beat that matches the swing of the song....same with High Hat Riffing...I find it hard to build a HH groove that matches the song....Any Tips?
Possibly... Highlight your shaker pattern in the Grid Editor. Under the Timing Button/Menu, try adding swing if it is indeed Swing (triplet feel) you're looking for.
Hi Shawn, I noticed a problem in an old song I´ve created over one year ago. I used EZD2 in that song. But now, when I open that song EZD3 comes up (and that is right for me, because I installed (updated) it), the song structure (time line with the groove parts) is empty - didn´t know why? Is it possible to run EZD2 and EZD3 in parallel? I don´t think so, because the .dll´s are named the same...
It is possible. EZD3 is a VST3.
@@ShootieSchool ah that is good hint. I´ll try that and only install EZD2 as VST2.4
There's no conflict at all. Just install both EZD2/3 normally and they both work. EZ2 is .dll and EZ3 is VST3 (separate system folder by default).
@@ShootieSchool It worked. Thx for your help! You are "Mr. Toontrack" for me! 😄
I learned so much on your channel!
I’m on the edge of upgrading from EZDrummer 2 to 3. I use the Latin pack a lot for conga/samba patterns. Other than cymbal swells and one shot claps, I’d say I use MT Audio Rock Drums about 80-90% of the time because it’s so easy to use and the patterns are consistent throughout phrases. I find the patterns in EZD 2 just too busy, if you know what I mean. I end up using a midi editor to create custom beats. I’m hoping EZD 3 is better in this regard especially for ballads.
It’s not my forte. But have you tried the Edit Play Style feature on these busy grooves.
@@ShootieSchool No, I'll have to look into that. Thanks.
Dam! man so much detail. you guys are very picky with your productions! im barely an amateur. great knowledge to search and match. Ill get better for fure and thanks to you!
Long time no read, Eduardo! Hope you're well and thanks!!
i lost a beat once, then i switched hands...
Oh boy, lol!
@@ShootieSchool LOL
