I was just getting good at EZdrummer 2, now I'm back at square one. No worries, as it is the best songwriting tool I've experienced. I subscribed the day 3 came out and glad I did. You're putting out solid info for the user without fluff. Thanks dude, cheers!
Phew - another beauty, Sean. I'm checking Amazon to see if they sell extra cerebral cortexes by the pound, 'cause I'm thinking this'll help retention! I did many sessions at Sound City in Van Nuys, CA, and they almost threw me out after each one - I guess I hovered over the board too much - but I'm learning more from your good teachings than I ever did hovering. Mui mui gracias, mate!
Just found out about EZD3 20 minutes ago after owning EZD2 from day one. Glad I found you. Here are the features and differences with no fluff. Thank you for this. NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES!!!
Great video. Thank you. You covered lots of ground and your methodical and logical explanation of libraries, library presets, drum kit presets and instruments was excellent.
Hi, and may I say "thanks" before anything else. I am a 68 years young Rocker. My band played almost every weekend in the 70's, all summer long in 72 and 73. I am a guitarist/singer but every drummer that I've played with has said that they'd never have this gig if I were the drummer. I totally understand drums and what makes them sound good. I have been using EZ Drummer 2 since it's inception. I use an Apple computer but I've never been thrilled with tapping quite heavily on the computers pad. None of the music stores have come up with a satisfactory alternative. What I know and use in my computer drumming is based on Ringo, Don Brewer and Ian Paice. I'm not looking to make it at my age but when I record something that I write, if it was a real drummer that couldn't get or understand what I wanted, he'd be out of a job,. The only thing that's difficult for me is double stroke rolls. Even when I slow down the tempo, I get lost. Anyway, I truly feel that you are a great teacher with EZ Drummer. I haven't found a good enough reason to upgrade to EZ Drummer3. When you teach, your voice and it's tone sound like an old friend. Right now I don't have enough money to contribute but I swear that when I do, you're #1 on my list Keep on rocking.
Jay Rock, thanks for your words! About your Mac FIngerpad. Are you not using a midi controller yet like a keyboard or finger drumming style controller. That can be under $100 easily. If you're physically tapping into EZD a lot, thta would be worth it. EZD3's new Tap2Find (which can do more of a step sequencing) and Grid Editor would be a good reason to upgrade when you're ready. You can just draw those double strokes in. Some thing to consider. Still being on EZD2 I'm sure you've seen I have a huge playlist of lessons just for that. DO look for it otherwise on my channel. I appreciate you taking the time, Jay. Rock on!
As a beginner to ez drummer 3 I definitely appreciate your advice on work flows and understanding some of the terminology for navigating through the UI. Thank u!
Very helpful transitioning to digital recording.. I had to watch it a couple of times and pause to go try it on my copy. Thank you making the content available to the youtube masses. Also, shout out to the Toontrackians. Also also, thanks for the no charge workflow principles. Really good advice.👍
Just found your channel. Great vids! I got EZD3 when it first dropped. Felt overwhelmed initially. Put it aside until yesterday when I found your channel. Thanks, man. You have a professional approach that moves though the functions in a user-friendly manner. I like the suggested work flows.
Great series you are doing, really appreciate the time you are putting into this. I'm brand new to EZDrummer, got 3 yesterday and your tutorials are helping me get to know it way quicker than I anticipated. Many thanks!
my favorite drum kits have always been four or five piece. I'm guessing all I have to do is gray out the other toms is the best and only way to do this? It's unreal to me that you only have 15.1K subscribers.
dude! as usual, fantastic info. I just point and shoot but I can totally see how some people would love so many options and the ability to combine them. Just like me and my guitars lol
HA! My only Pantera collectors item I have is the Far Beyond pre-release on Vinyl with the original cover. It's pretty extreme if you've never seen it.
I‘m no drummer, so this is very helpful for me, but on the other hand I know now that I have only got few of the kits that you have and will have to purchase some that are not included in this newly bought plugin. I‘ll now have to find out, if there‘s a kit available thematic gives me the electronic drum sounds of the e. g. Yamaha hardware drum modules of the eighties/early nineties, I think they were called RX … or Roland R …, which had fantastic electronic drum sounds. I love the acoustic kits of this plugin very much, but wanted to recreate some songs which I made at that that time … Thanks so much for these videos given to us by a real expert and probably a very, very good drummer. I‘ll give a little donation (a coffee and a piece of cake, :-) ) to you because you give help to me with your videos … Now I‘m going to find out where and how I‘m going to do that …
Thank very much!! The Electronic and synth wave EZX have nostalgic sounds. If you’ve already invested in other software, not your Yamaha hardware, there a chance you can control other software sounds with EZD and a DAW. If you want to do that, let me know.
@@ShootieSchool Thanks a lot. Synth Wave could cover my needs, but perhaps there is som free stuff out there. Just because of 2 or 3 songs that I want to reproduce from an audio file which I made about 35 to 40 years ago it‘s too expensive to buy …
Great video, Shawn! Lots of useful stuff…but let’s talk about the star of the show…your hair, man. Wowsa! I guess I’ve never seen how long it is. That’s wild and awesome. Mine would be to, at least, my belt but the back half of my scalp is a freakin’ quitter. 😏
Nice video. So, if I understand correctly - EZ D has an electronic groove but not played on an electronic kit (library) which is a separate purchase? Slightly different from Groove Agent which offers different genre kits per se. Like in dance / electronic there are the type of libraries that goes with the genre. Another example being the disco genre with lots of electronic sounds being used rather than every style being played on analogue drum kits. A side question - can I route the drums in EZ D to Reason? I have an extensive Reason (Redrum) library but I do like the simple way to create a groove in EZ D.
Yes you buy additional sound packs called EZXs for different sounds. "Route to reason". If I understand you correctly, if you're on the latest version of reason which uses VST3 plugins, you can just open EZD up inside of reason and use it as you wish. I do not know if Redrum has the same GM mapping though if you wanted the programs to collaborate.
if i have 7 toms on my edrum kit, I don't see any EZX that have 7 toms, so is it possible to swap out a couple cymbals for tom sounds in EZD3? If I right click a cymbal it only seems to let me choose from cymbal sounds
No. Superior Drummer can do this natively. With EZDrummer you use a DAW. Then route your ekit to 2 separate instances of EZdrummer on two different tracks to go beyond particular instrument counts. It's the only way with EZ.
i have superiror drummer 3 and ez drummer 3 .. the problem ist love the kit iowa from the superior drummer 3 but i cant find something similar in de ez drummer 3.... do you have an idea how to get the iowa kit into the ez drumer 3?
That would take me too much effort to try to recreate it in EZ. If you use a DAW, I would route the midi out of EZ into SD. So EZ is the brain and SD is the sounds.
An Extra Snare? You would need to buy the correct expansion that has two snare slots. OR you could use EZD in a DAW and just use two instances of EZD. to get two snares Superior Drummer does this natively.
@@ShootieSchool Hi,I really appreciate the info. I actually got the demo today to check it out and it’s really cool. I might look into Superior Drummer also,but it seems like EZdrummer might fit the bill. I really like the add your own sample feature .. is Superior Drummer custom sample feature that much better than EZD3?
@@josegarza6995 In the beginning of my first few Live Stream under the Live Tab on my channel, I discuss some Grid Editor basics. I have an advanced Grid Editor course for my UA-cam Members program.
