There are preset midi maps for dozens of kits. Chances are, you’ll be fine. What kind of kit were you planning on using?

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.
