I use EZD3 as a virtual instrument, my kits are from the Pop Punk expansion pack, and I have a ton of plugins 🥁

[@MakeTheMusic]

The Pop Punk Kit sounds amazing!

[@khudson4901]

Good vid, points. EZ3 for me. I see an inherent problem with SD3 you casually mentioned. The beginning stages, you don't want to spend hours over every piece of the drum mixing. That for the pre-final stage of the mix. The DAW provides that functionality. How could you finish the song if your obsessing over little piece at the beginning drum stage body of the song. Lets for the stalled creativity process. Big inherent work flow problem. I can easily image SD3 purpose for standalone, stage situations.

[@MakeTheMusic]

Great point. For me, I might use EZ Drummer 3 during my recording and songwriting process, and then later come in with Superior Drummer 3 and really fine-tune and build a drum sound. I also have many presets that I've tweaked in SD3 ahead of time to make sure I don't get bogged-down in endless tweaking.

[@khudson4901]

@@MakeTheMusic I'm the last to tell you what to do. Im just getting into it. Seems like a lot of up-front work that you will eventually need to do later. Mixing down the drums, and or mixing up the bass, guitar, clipping issues, etc. Anyway a lot of fun. I would like to use SD3 through a live solo stage PA type of project. Im thinking it's already designed for PA use. Good luck.

Very informative video. My question is can i use 2 roland TD17 module on EZD3 at the same time? Bec i want to build a monster kit. Thank you and more power.

[@aluminati9918]

Great review. I own both. Used EZD for demos for my band. When we went to mix for releasing, turned to SD. Especially when integrating live recorded drum parts. The tracker function is gold. Also comes with more stock drums. Still love EZD, but I ended up investing in lots of extra kits, so the total cost was probably higher than SD in the end. Both great!

[@MakeTheMusic]

Yes, both definitely serve a purpose. I love EZX's, because I can use them in SD3 as well!

[@aluminati9918]

@@MakeTheMusic Thanks for your comment. Yes, indeed, I use the EZX expansions in SD3, the Southern Soul and Funk Masters kits being favourites for my style.

[@jeffagoddard]

Thanks! I’ve reviewed Toontracks drum software and it’s the best, but still haven’t bought it. Here’s my dilemma/. I own Logic, Komplete 14, Spitfire Ab Laborial, Playbeat, BFD, etc. Just Logic includes 1,000+ kits in Drum Machine Designer, Drum Designer and Ultrabeat. Komplete delivers 9 full drum apps, including 600+ kits in Battery! I feel like I don’t really know what I already owe. Now, most are single sample kit pieces - there’s only a limited number of multi-sampled / multi-velocity layered acoustic drum kits - which is what’s drawn me to EZ Drummer or Superior. What’s your advice?

[@MakeTheMusic]

Go as far as you can, creating songs with the tools you do have. If you feel like the final production is lacking in the drums department, then look into getting EZ Drummer 3.

[@24-7Guitars]

Awesome vid. Thanks for the breakdown. Thinking of ezdrummer 3 to create some demos and backing tracks for live solo performances

[@MakeTheMusic]

You're welcome. EZ Drummer 3 is perfect for backing tracks. Good choice.

[@dinofond]

Where's the video for the Tracker? Brother you go over in 10 minutes what others take for freaking over 45 to spit out. Great to the point video. I subbed for sure - EDIT: I found it thank you!

[@MakeTheMusic]

Excellent!

I bought ezdrummer 3 for $159. I live in U.S. but got it from a british site. No problems downloading it.

Yes they are!

Hey ;) I’m looking to produce professional tracks to send to my sound engineer for mixing. Is superior drummer worth getting in my case ? I won’t be mixing the drums myself but I want to provide him with the best sound and options for later down the line. The genre is folk/indie. Cheers !

[@MakeTheMusic]

EZ Drummer 3 and SD3 are both really good options. If you want a lot of control over sound design, then I would get SD3, but if you want something cheaper and easier to uses, go with EZD3. I would listen to demos of both software's and see which kits you liked the sound of best!

[@slimannaciri694]

@@MakeTheMusic Thanks for the insight 👌 Do you regard Logic Pro drums as inferior sound wise ?

[@MakeTheMusic]

I would try using the drums in a production, and if you don't like the sound, upgrade your kit.

[@KevinZ2269]

Can EZ drummer 3 do positional sensing on the snare like Superior drummer ? Thanks

[@MakeTheMusic]

No, that would be more of an SD3 thing.

[@KevinZ2269]

@@MakeTheMusic I saw a post in tunetracks website that said they added positional sensing for EZ drummer ? That’s why I’m confused. I don’t have the program yet so it’s hard yah for me to know

[@MakeTheMusic]

I haven't researched that aspect, I would contact toontrack's team to find out more.

[@KevinZ2269]

@@MakeTheMusic that would be nice. They are hard to get ahold of. Email only. No number. But I will try. Thanks 🙏 .

[@tobbebergman7583]

I've had Superior Drummer 3 since it arrived and it has been riddled with bugs and I keep finding bugs almost every time I use it ! Can't say the developers listen to the users suggestions ! Be aware ! It's worth a quarter of the price !

[@MakeTheMusic]

Sorry your having issues, I haven't experienced too many bugs myself.

[@tobbebergman7583]

@@MakeTheMusic Well it depends on what requirement you have ! The interface has tons of issues ! Toontrack devs seems to be living in the late 1980's ! Maybe they should have a look at a modern interfaces like Studio One to be able to see what users nowadays are used to !

[@nukenoly8751]

All the EZ plugins are amazing !

[@MakeTheMusic]

Agreed! What's your favorite?

[@casearedotcom]

I use ezdrummer plugins inside superior drunmer and i can equalize over thats sounds

[@MakeTheMusic]

Good work!

[@bozo_ladrao_d_rolex]

I see no reason to up grade to SD3. EZD3 is amazing

[@MakeTheMusic]

EZD3 is really solid. You have all you need for sure
