Using Brushes for EZdrummer 2

[djangoparker]

Hello,

I am considering purchasing ezdrummer 2, but haven’t been able to find anything to answer my question before purchasing, because I don’t want to lose money on something I won’t be able to use. I have some tracks that I would like to use circle/half circle brush strokes with brush hits on different beats, also creating different patterns utilizing those concepts. Will I be able to do that with ezdrummer 2 (possibly having to add the jazz extension)?

Thank you for your help.

Best,

David

The Jazz EZX has brush swirl articulations. I think the Big Band EZX does too but I’m not at my studio computer to check.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for replying. I saw that the jazz expansion has the swirl for brushes. My main question is, will I only be able to use swirling or will I be able to add brush hits as well, like common drummers do, on and off with the swirling/circular patterns? Is that something ezdrummer 2 can accomplish or only superior drummer 3 can do that?

Best,

David

Yes, brush taps/hits as well as swirls.

Thanks Scott. That’s what I wanted to know, that I can add different combinations of brush attacks and swirls instead of only being able to use one at a time for ezdrummer 2.

I appreciate it. So, I’ll need to get the add on for the jazz expansion to do that, correct?

Yes. You’ll need to buy EZD2 and the Jazz EZX expansion pack.

Hi, I have already bought the Superior Drummer 3. To have the brush strokes and glides do I have to buy the EZD2 and the Jazz EZX expansion pack?

The GRETSCH ROUND BADGE 1960s kit in S3 has brushes.
