I don't know how much you've read up about EZD2 but the way you make songs is pretty cool. What I love though is that you can use both Edit Style and a MIDI grid to build your grooves. SD3 blows away EZD2 with respect to features, but honestly most of it is stuff I won't use. If you get a chance to listen with headphones or good speakers, compare how much better the hi hat and cymbals sound in SD3.0 and how the kick and snare pop. You could probably get by in EZ2 without buying any expansion pack, but I found the stock metal kit pretty lacking. You literally have nothing to lose :)ĮZD2 is $99 and the Made of Metal EZX is another $79., and SD3.0 is $399. Looking to upgrade to SD3 after the next paycheck :)Īnyway, check out Reaper, the trial is free and it is fully functional. It sounds great.Ĭheck out toontrack's site for a full break down. And I am saying that at the same time as saying EZdrummer is a great product. EZdrummer cannot hold a candle to what SD3 is capable of. The problem with SD was that you had to buy expansion packs to do certain genres of music.ĮZdrummer2 and SD3 is not a fair comparison. The fact that you get 6 drumkits AND electronic drum samples in one package is extremely good. Really in depth stuff.įrom the little understanding I have of SD3, it's basically trying to converge everything together into one large package. Superior Drummer had a lot more options to tweak things. Same samples as Superior Drummer 2, just easier to use out of the box. A large selection of timpani, bass drums, traditional taiko drums, various classic marching snare drums, hand percussions such as smaller hand cymbals, triangles, woodblocks and much more.Reaper is a brilliant choice for a guitarist, and band work in general.Library with over 100 orchestral percussion instruments.Expandable with Toontrack SDX / EZX expansion.
