Resurrected my TD 6v, connected Roland Um - 1 & laptop, brought EZ Drummer 3 and Behringer 22 usb interface. Drums to laptop, behringer unit to laptop, seperate usb ports (behringer acts as an external sound manager). EZ Drummer 3 the BEST thing I have brought in my life, cutting cymbals like butter, ocean depth flam on the toms, an amazing plug in.

Some tips, be patient, if you’re wanting to listen to you tube and play, load YT first, play track and then load EZ D 3. If buffer (as you strike the pads) clipping is a probs, adjust buffer rate in Ez D 3, turn down ALL volume, then set kit volume in mix, add volume to YT, strike pads to measure clip between both & adjust. If you don’t need YT turn off internet and all other programs. I mucked around with ASIO4all for days trying to get the two signals and eventually purchased the Behringer unit (do this as ASIO4all blocks YT or vice versa can’t hear pads) the buffer rate is also much easier to achieve. Be patient though if you have a modern but cheapish laptop sometimes it needs to think- ‘have you tried turning your computer off and on again’.

Being new to EZD 3 the YT information was great but a lot of trial and error on my behalf. But… so stoked, within days purchased a bundle with Modem Metal, Drums of Destruction, Metalheads, with the core set up EZD 3 now have 17 drum sets, over 50 cymbals, 18 Bass Drums, 22 snares Tama, DW, Drumcraft, Paiste, Ludwig, Sabian. Professionally recorded, sounds straight to the e kit.

[@rjseps222]

Sure, unless you are a millionaire you are freaking out about the cost, got you… seriously if you are an intermediate drummer and feel confident with your playing, purchase this software now. At the end once it’s all working you will be blown away. Effectively a new module, with what I would say are superior sounds to the majority of Roland options. FYI also maxed out TD 6v inputs with line splitters & extra cymbals to maximise similarities to an acoustic kit. (Apologies for simple terms and short thesis above, normally can’t be bothered. Spent days researching and then adjusting to get my kit 100%, hopefully if you are at the start point some info helps) cheers and good luck.

Great demo! I seriously doubt that Nick reads the comments, but a lot of us would watch Nick read his grocery list because we're such big fans. I'm an especially HUGE fan of Big Big Train, Nick's amazing prog band. Anyway, EZdrummer 3 looks really good. I might need to add it to the wish list.

[@DarrenX9]

I tried EZD3 and i was hooked. Bright room kit (Gretsch/Paiste + Tama Bell Brass snare) with reverb, that's it. I heard that and I was sold. I don't even use any other presets. Once you use EZD3 you'll never go back to the stock Roland sounds again. I tried the Vexpressions, etc etc. There's no comparison.

[@ZOB4]

This is very cool - I particularly liked the "Claustrophobic" kit

[@ronaldcoleman9370]

I love that option!!! I think this is the way I am going, at least in my home studio!!

[@aarondehaan4146]

Killing it nick keep rocking

[@campbellread1918]

EZ drummer always sound great, which makes it crazy roland can't spank out some kits that sound this good, even on the TD50, so sold mine

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Nick Kit! Love it. Great demo. I am new to drums and love all the options E-drums offer.

[@genedaniels2962]

Yes! I needed this video. Thanks!

[@mecdrum7]

I just bought the easy drummer 3 still getting it to work. Found maybe I didn’t download my Alesis dm10 firm trying that today. The sounds are already awesome!!!!!!

[@tmaddrummer]

Thanks and Blessings Nick!

[@janmarlpaulrodriguez]

This is why I bought an Alessis Crimson because I wasn't worried about the onboard samples since I could just connect it with ezdrummer.

[@daveseemerollin6357]

You're an idiot if that was your sole reasoning. You've bought a module with a lot of inherent latency and sub-par triggering only to trigger a vst which ads even more latency You would have been better off with a used roland set.

[@reggiedrummer]

I JUST LOVE YOU man!

[@anwaypradhan6591]

Nice rolling.

[@WutipongWongsakuldej]

I bought EZD2 not long before EZD3 came out. It's always frustrating to buy stuffs on sale, just to buy the upgrade that release right next after. Well EZD2 does work for me so I'll wait until the upgrade is on sale again (and I'm dead broke right now anyway).

[@clydebermingham121]

Did You say “CLYDE” ? 🤗 That’s me 🤗🙏🏽 … hehehe 🤗🙏🏽

[@paulkuzmanovski2836]

Please play all 10 at once for S&G’s!

[@Deriolama]

sound is very good

[@DrummingMan1]

easy drummer two sounds more authentic! Less glitter on the GUI! I'll stick with what I know ha ha ha ha ha old boy man

[@leonderprofi7269]

i love you

[@davolbc]

Great program! I Used ezdrummer 2 on my last album with no drummer involved just programmed in the measures and Beats and drums and cymbals and everything else that I wanted. Amazing to have professional drummer with the best drum kit on your tracks. Pleasureburn - Temporary Infinity.

[@Ripperx121]

I lost functionality on my snare with EZDrummer. Cross stick doesn't work properly. Thank god it was the demo and I didn't buy it. Worked fine on TD-17 but TD-27 was a no go. Not going to lose options on my kit for this. I will deal with the module. Toontrack has any technical help behind the pay wall. I tried to get it working right for a week.

[@BluessNRock]

Why is EZD2 having issues with the close cymbals on Alesis? That's literally the only reason I'm still with Addictive Drums 2 😅

[@clydebermingham121]

Hello NICK … by the way , may I ask , what mic 🎤 are you using there , please , while speaking to us , in this presentation ? 🙏🏽

[@roknrexstudio]

Thanks good vid! Did you have any latency issues?

[@PabloJ1968]

Could you write the drum field you did here!

[@steezyboiiii808]

i just got my MIDI cord and EZdrummer 3 and a metal machine expansion pack and I LOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH but the hi hat triggering isnt good at all wonder how to fix it. like when i close the hi hat it just triggers quietly and dosent seem to understand where the hi hat is half the time :( besides that its amazing

[@tendingtropic7778]

thanks for the video. How does this ezdrummer 3 now compare to superior drummer 3 in terms of sounds and interaction/compatibility with an e-drum kit?

[@DSharon3]

Do you still need to "futz" with the pad sensitivity setting on your e-kit module, or not?

[@Ben-ic1ve]

In most cases, not really. Most of the tweaking needs to be done in the program

[@DSharon3]

@@Ben-ic1ve Thanks Ben!

[@brnby8984]

Definitely varies from kit to kit. Most default settings do well with EZ or Steven Slate. Each has built-in sensitivity curves that are much easier to adjust than the brain settings (especially velocity)

[@TheQuestion31]

Does anyone know how to set the hi hat settings for efnote? I've been using the free trial and can't get it to work.

[@randallross420]

is it worth it to go with superior drummer over ez drummer?

[@anthonyn1312]

Nick Kit?

[@byfaithalone3529]

👍

[@sogent56]

Can you set it up for lefties?

[@rjseps222]

The animation will only be right handed, all parts of the kit can be remapped via EZD 3 to match cymbal positioning. The visual might annoy you, quality sound samples may convince you though.

[@Severmore]

........... dude looks like Jon Lovitz.....
