Superior Drummer 3 or EZ Drummer 2 for me?

[Ann Roche]

Hello

I own a copy of ez drummer 1 and a couple of ez drummer expansions

however

i have not used the software for a while and am just getting back into song writing

i am really into creating drum parts that sound real and authentic in the style of the Classic and Vintage Drummers

i.e. classic drummers like Keith Moon (the Who), Kenny Jones (the Small Faces, The Faces, The Who) and John Bonham.

So i was wondering what my best solution was, as i have realised that in order to use EZ Drummer Expansion packs (such as Vintage, Classic, 70s)

I would have to upgrade ez-drummer to EZ Drummer 2.

 

So i was wondering if Superior Drummer 3 would be a better choice for me in this particular instance, as i also am living off a budget.

So have limited access to funds at the mo.

 

I understand that Superior Drummer 3 is superior to EZ drummer, however, on a limited budget would Superior Drummer 3 be a better option

than buying EZ Drummer 2 with 2 EZ Expansion packs built in (such as Vintage or Classic and 70s)

 

Would Superior Drummer 3 provide the same or better tonal characteristics that these expansion packs offer, as well as the Midi packs that go with them

and would i be ok with just the Superior Drummer 3 and its built in or bundled samples / midi packs, or would i still need to buy the expansion packs in order to achieve the sound and feel that i want in order to authentically emulate the classic rock drummers of the 60s.

 

Thanks

I used ez drummer 2 for quite a while and it served me well. If you can be happy with the presets on ez drummer 2 you’ll be fine. You do have some freedom to change the tonal qualities a bit (you control over the level of bleed, compression, reverb, etc..) among the 16 channels available in the mixer. Superior drummer has 32 channels available. , and you can customize your drumset a bit.

Superior drummer has 32 channels. You have the option to set up the mics however you choose. You can even deal with each channel separately when fiddling with compression. You can mix and match any drums or cymbals from any EZX or SDX that you own. You can create your own midi map. With EZ Drummer, I was just using a drum trigger and I would create the beats pretty much just by playing my electronic kit connected to Reaper. Superior Drummer’s tracker feature makes it easy to create and edit drum tracks within the plugin itself.

But that price tag….

I used EZ Drummer for about 6 months because it is more affordable and it is one of the better drum VSTs out there. Go ahead and get it. Superior Drummer costs a lot more, but you can upgrade if you feel like you want more control over the way your drums sound and/or your looking for a more practical way to create midi tracks.
