Can I add a tom?

[djbobcat1]

Hi everyone..Im about to trade my stock dtx900 sounds in for Ezd2 but I have my kit set up with 6 toms but only 4 cymbals..Is there any way I can turn that extra cymbal into a tom? Also what do you do about a cross stick sound if you use ezd2 to play live gigs? Thanks….

Hi,

setting up 6 Toms with EZdrummer 2 is currently not possible, you cannot exchange a Cymbal for a drum. I think you may want to look into EZdrummer 2’s bigger brother Superior 2.
A cross-stick/sidestick hit has its own MIDI note number so if your module sends it, EZdrummer 2 plays it back.

I just got EZDrummer 2 and my kit only has 1 rack tom.  How do I add another one?

Hi,

do you mean that you have the EZdrummer 2 Vintage loaded and you have more than 1 physical rack tom on your E-kit?

The only way to solve this in EZdrummer 2 standalone is by loading the Modern and then switch out the kit pieces.

Hi x_name x,

you can add as many instruments as you want (well, there is some kind of technical limit but I doubt you will reach it) in SD3 if you customise it.

i have been looking at ezdrummer 2. but my problem is that i have a set, with 10 drum triggers. 8 toms 1 snare and 1 kick. Can SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3 support that? will I be able to have a set of 8 toms and still have on my snare and kick?

Are you saying that in EZDrummer 2 you can only have the kits as defined by default? I have a similar problem as the OP. My TD-27 kit is not mapping correctly into your software. Here is an example, my rack tom 3 is mapped to your floor tom 1. I have not found a way to change this in the demo I’m currently testing.  This is just an example I’m having several other mapping issues that I won’t go into as I expect the answer is the same.

If this is a limitation of EZDrummer 2, is it accurate to say Superior Drummer 3 allows these types of changes?

I suggest gospel EZX which is great with 5 toms

of course EZD2 and EZX have some limitations about the number  of toms
