For the price you pay???……YES……it should be part of EVERY kit. With REAL snares, you simply turn one knob and tighten it to get the springs. It’s EASY.

Toontrack markets EZ Drummer as…..well…..”easy”, but then charges for every little feature…..and WHAT’S WORSE……doesn’t even offer what’s standard on snares.

If I had hours and hours to record…..I’d hire a drummer, but that’s why I bought the software.

This is interesting. In my opinion, EZ is not a simulator. Thus, we can not tweak the snare but the pre-recorded sound of it.

The brush tool/kit pieces can be used with any MIDI grooves.

There are trainbeats and country style in the Nashville EZX. Below is some of the trainbeat MIDI from the Nashville EZX using the Music City SDX sounds:

That sounds nice, but would cost me +200eur. Just to get trainbeat midi would cost me 69eur.
There are TT-libs where there are brush sounds but no “brushgrooves” iincluded. Custom&Vintage, for example. Using stick-midi with brushes is not the same as using brush-midi with brushes if you know what I mean.

Hmm, maybe some 3rd party midi lib would do the trick…

SD2 and EZD

Libs: C&V SDX, NY Studios SDX, LP EZX, Vintage Rock EZX,
Midi Libs: Songwriters Fillpack & Drumpack

I’m looking for train beats & country style

I do not know what is inexpensive, but have a look at Vir2 Mojo.

If we take 20 seminal pop songs from different genres and the TT producers create ballpark snare-hh-kick presets for them, it would cover my needs. There are certain attributes to every genre that create that distinctive sound, whether is miking, snare type, effects. Just give the ballpark sound collection, the idea of typical attributes for each production style. No need to reveal secrets, but best practices 🙂

I see, that’s a good thing.

However, I would like to see presets named after some reasonable categorization. “Producer” does not sound very useful.

No offense taken at all!
The groove was in the same ballpark. All midi at this stage. Grooves templates will follow the tempo of the song. I am not sure if i understand your question correctly? This is not a problem of timing being off, it is more about how I perceive the groove in the song context.

The more I write the more stupid I feel, lol.

Hmm, maybe I’ll create a clip so you can hear what I mean.

[tiari]

I agree. But there are sounds that are specific to a genre, right?
If we think TT libraries not as kits but as a vast sea of sounds, we get closer. The sounds in the sea are basic sounds, starting point sounds.
