You can also go through the presets in SD3 and find something similar and then copy the mixer settings and processing to your own. It’s a huge subject so I suggest you read up on drum processing. Sd3 has a large amount of processing options specifically designed for drums. It works really well and I use it on quite a few kits that only have two, three and 4 toms so I can fill out my 5 toms on my ekit. SD3 has a feature where if you tune a drum it will process it to sound natural. You can also add as many drums as you want and tune them so you can have 20 rota toms if you want that many. Is it possible to get 8? Also, how am I going to get the exact same sounds (pitch and effects)?Any pitch is possible with SD3 as you can change it. It might be cool as well, just never tried it.Thanks, I'm going to check it out. Lol) I haven't tried the triggering in EZdrummer. (In times of COVID, the one man band method rocks. One day I hope to upgradenthe kit to a TD50, but just really digging in an learning drums after a lifetime playing guitar, vocals, bass, and dabbling in keys.

I am using a Roland TD25 set and triggering Superior and it sounds far beyond the TD25 head unit, and responds well.

Didn't discover that for a while, but when I did it was like a bell went off in my head with ideas.įor triggering, Superior is amazing. When I use loops I often vary them throughout the song to help add variety and some builds as a song progresses. Basically you choose your loop, then lay it out on the timeline in the plugin and you can vary the complexity or number of hits it will play on a per drum basis. If EZ has those as well, they can be helpful. I have not tried certain advanced features in the looping in EZDrummer, but there are some little things you can do to quickly make variations with existing loops in Superior Drummer. Both are similar in the tap to find and using with Drum Loops.

I've gotten so I can get what I want quickly as I have save a couple of my most used kits and created simple multis in Studio One ao I can drag it in and start playing. A lot depends on how comfortable you are at mxing and adjusting a few items vs dead simple grab and go. Some prefer the simplicity of EZDrummer though.

Both have lots of preset and premixed kits to get you going, as well as loops (with a gazillion aftermarket options in loops available.) It is capable of much better sounds overall if you really dig in. I prefer Superior Drummer because it is much more flexible and full featured as well as having higher resolution kits.
