Toontrack EZdrummer Multi Layer Drum Sampler

EZdrummer was designed to give you optimum drum-sample quality presented in a compact, affordable plug-in format that's as easy to use as it is to mix. With Toontrack's EZdrummer, musicians and producers can simply drag-and-drop audition sounds and construct drumkits recorded with multi-microphone setups. You also get a mixer that allows stereo and multitrack routing into the host via a single plug-in and has presets for quick mix modes quick sound changing. With the second-generation Toontrack Percussive Compression (TPC), system requirements are low, meaning this is a very accessible virtual kit worthy of high-end studios, but available for the home studio too.

EZdrummer sampler features the recording and producing expertise of Pat Thrall (Pat Travers, Black Crowes) and Neil Dorfsman (Dire Straits, Paul McCartney), the drumming skills of Nir Z (Genesis, Joss Stone, John Mayer), and the engineering help of Toontrack's own Mattias Eklund and Henrik Kjellberg. Their combined efforts have produced an extensive collection of more than 8000 MIDI files captured at Avatar Studios, a 50-year old venue that has been the place where a veritable who's who of award-winning musicians have bottled their magic.

EZdrummer is now Windows Vista compatible.

This programmer kicks ass and sounds so real it's unbelievable. I use a Macbook Pro so it works fine for me, but I do see plenty of people having issues who use Windows. I feel bad for you guys, because this thing owns. I recommend expanding the software because the standard kits they give you get a little stale after a while. Drum Kit from Hell is a nice addition. Very awesome for metal.

It's better than my real drummer.

I got this on sale and it came with a free expansion, I got the Drum Kit from Hell one because I fancy myself a metalhead. I had no installation or compatibility issues, installed no problem. Unless your playing rock or pop rock you want to get the EZ drummer expansion for the genre of music you are playing so for me its really a two part deal.In terms of function though its great the sound is amazing, it really is high quality stuff. There is a good mixer with good "tweakability" to it and there are hundreds of midi patterns to use and you can always build your own or modify the existing ones to add variety, and if you modify or take the existing ones apart you really increase the potential by ten fold.
It's basically replaced my drummer in the studio because it sounds so good and its easier than micing up his kit and sounds better than using an electronic set or triggers. So unless yuo got some sweet drum mics this is a good choice. I'd recommend it highly.

Save your time and frustration for something worth while. The program wont download to my computer(Windows 7)so i have no idea pertaining to the actual quality of the program. Apparently the prorgram has worked with other people though so decide for your self...

Ok, it just came in the mail and wouldn't ya know. Compatibility issues right off the bat. I went to the website and installed every up date I could find to help but still, I cannot get this program to install on my windows vista! I sent them an inquiry about what's going on and hopefully they mail me back with a solution. Otherwise I've wasted some hard earned money. If I get a helpful solution I'll review again, but for the now I'm just pissed off.

Toontrack EZdrummer!

I purchased the software to replace an older drum software program that basically was a nightmare! Even though I was a little more than worried this product would be more of the same, I was VERY surprised. It loaded on my 2000 HP Athlon, with no problem and it was easy to get it up and running. I spent a little time transfering my old midi drum tracks to EZdrummer and it really sounded fantastic. Right out of the box, this product was great, but after a little tweaking of the velocity, and midi notes, along with good mixing, it really shines!! I ended up buying a few add on packs, and now I really have the music flowing! A must have for those guitarists/musicians that don't have a drummer or access to record one! Love it!
