Their well-established EZ Drummer product has broken even more barriers with this ponderous, 2nd generation version. ToonTrack have proven themselves to be leaders in their field – ease of use, audio excellence, and innovation are but a few of the ToonTrack product-line attributes. The new “ Tap2Find” feature enables a user to quickly beat out a groove via a midi-controller or mouse the software then takes off on a gallop to retrieve appropriately matched patterns. Taking a cue from vying drum VI contenders, EZD2 now hosts great-sounding percussion components as well: tambourine, cowbell, maracas, shakers and handclaps.ĮZD2 is not merely a pretty face with fancy-schmancy bells n’ whistles slapped on top – its audio engine has been completely overhauled and is now refitted with a much greater degree of AI and expressiveness. These new kits are samplings of DW, Yamaha, Gretsch, Sonor, Tama, and of course, Ludwig. The somewhat blasé pop/rock kit has been retired as the default kit in lieu of not one, but FIVE, new, characterful drum kits.Ĭategorized as both Modern and Vintage, the various pieces may be easily mixed n’ matched for “custom” kit configurations. Sporting a new, alluring tab-based interface, the UI has undergone a “ from-the-ground-up” makeover yet remains welcomingly familiar ( akin to EZ Keys). EZ Drummer 2 takes the welter-weight championship belt respectfully in hand and steps up the game considerably.
