Brazilian Percussion?

[madflute]

I am considering switching from BFD3 to EZDrummer. 90% of my needs are post-bebop and/or modal jazz beat but I also need Brazilian percussion instruments such as pandeiro, surdo, berimbau, and ago-ago. I couldn’t find if you have the optional package for these. Also I am looking for Brazilian grooves such as frevo, xote, baião, afoxé. Any help would be appreciated.

This would be really great to have. Both percussion and drum set, so probably two different EZXs or MIDI packs. All the grooves mentioned above plus of course samba, samba cancao, bossa, calango, marcha, maxixe.

If done by somebody with a deep and extensive knowledge of the styles, like Celso Fonseca or Mauricio Zottarelli (there are many other qualified people), this could be really great.

I used to play with Mauricio Zottarelli. I still do occasionally. Nice to see his mane is mentioned 🙂

I’ve heard Mauricio play in the Bay Area with Marcos Silva, whom I play with sometimes. Mauricio is a tremendous drummer, and I’m sure he would be great for a Brazilian EZX and/or SDX.
