I'm astounded by the amount of drummers with electronic kits that haven't utilized their MIDI output into a DAW with a VST drum plug-in. This is exactly why I'm buying an electronic kit. I wanna record drums at home and not mess around with noise complaints while having access to top tier samples.

This is a proper lightbulb moment for me. I’ve put off buying an e-kit due to the awful samples, but with this software and the superior drummer software, I think I’m finally going to take the plunge. I already have a little home studio with Logic Pro x, so I’m all set! Any advice on the most cost effective kit with decent feeling pads would be appreciated! 😁👍🏻

Another great option is to go without a module and get an eDrumIn. The triggering control with the eDrumIn is top notch and you can cobble together a bunch of used stuff for short money to get started if budget is a concern.

Great video! I'm entirely new to electronic instruments, despite tinkering with computers all my life. Very humbling to not know at all what I'm doing! At first, I was just interested in plugging into the computer for the good, full speakers. It's nice to see I've got a ton more options after that.

Very very informative, one of the best tutorials out there so far.

Awesome - Thank you for showing how to change the default setup of the kit. I've been trying to use the Timpani from EZDrummer 3 Expansion Classic Rock ( the John Bonham kit ) for a Classical orchestral type part. And now the possibilities are endless to create new custom kits.

Great, easy to understand presentation, Nick. I've been using this to record our album in Logic pro. It's also great to as well as record using MIDI from my Roland kit to trigger the kits in EZ Drummer, to also take stereo lines out from the brain and record the audio at the same time. Before using DAW, I spent so long editing my Roland to build my perfect kit to the music we are creating, it's interesting to hear them both in comparison.

Thank you Sweetwater for the video. I also want some information on how you connect Your E-Drums with the mac.

Thanks for the video

Nick’s awesome.

Oh ya, this was excellent. Thanks

Another awesome video by Nick. However, I like to point out that there are differences between the standalone version and the plugin version in the setup instructions. I am using this with Ableton Live 11, but this should apply to all or most DAWs. When using the plugin version (which I think is really a call to the standalone version passing a parameter that places it into a "plugin mode") there is NO OPTION in the SETUP tab to select AUDIO/MIDI setup. Instead it only shows EDRUM/MIDI IN. Selecting this brings you to the PRESET selection screen. From there you do the same as in the video to select which kit you have and the section optimizing the HiHat instrument. At this point there is no option to select a buffer size in EZDRUMMER 3. Instead you can bring up a screen that shows buffer sizes, but this is from the ASIO driver, not EZDRM 3 and it won't allow you to change that buffer size because it's in use by the program. This may be an Ableton thing, but I have no way to verify that. So this may only apply to Ableton, your mileage may vary. BUT, there is no need to change any buffer size as it all seems to work just fine with absolutely no latency or delay of any kind (at least on my PC which is a mid level unit, not a gaming machine and I am using a Roland TD27 kit). Everything else follows the video exactly. One more problem I ran into. I am using the internal interface of the TD27 module, so the resulting audio goes back to the TD27 and I use the headphone output from there to monitor the sound. When I strike a drum or any trigger on the kit, I hear not only the EZDRMR 3 sound, but the sound coming from the TD27 kit. So there are two sounds coming into the headphones. There is no way to use the triggers on the TD27 without having a drum kit selected. This really had me stopped for a while. I fixed this by noticing that there is a special button on the TD27 called "kit volume". By selecting that on the TD27, was able to set the volume to "-INF" which is essentially 0 AUDIO output, the trigger output still comes out to the PC. Problem fixed. You can pick any drum kit in the TD27 and do this as you are not going to use the synthesized drums in the KIT anyway. So I hope this extra bit of info helps anyone having trouble integrating their electronic drums in a DAW using the PLUGIN version. And thanks, Nick, for a great video. Joel

Great video I absolutely learned a lot. I really wish you would show the connection part of things because I’m kinda new to all of this and I do have an Apollo XP as well as analysis striped pro I wanted to see how do you route the connection is it best to go through the midi in and out or should I go With the individual outputs in the module into the inputs of the Apollo or should I just go through the Maine out from the module to the input into the Apollo for all the questions but I really wish you showed the connection part between the hardware cause that’s where I’m stuck at

Hi iam from indonesia, thank for your sharing video are very usefull, i want to ask How to adding tambourine to snare hit in ez drummer?

Without connecting any drumkit and installing any driver i dont see any preset. The Video sounds as if ez drummer would have all the presets out of the box on board Thanks a lot

Hi Nick, Great video! I'm quite a novice at e-drumming. I have owned an ALESIS DM10-Pro kit since probably 2009, and about the only upgrade I've ever done to it has been putting mesh heads on it (with questionable success). It's not the latest. It's not the greatest, but it's what I have to work with right now. I'm not even sure if that model is still supported by ALESIS or not or if that even matters to get better sounds out of it. Is an old DM10 Pro still relevant? I guess I need an "E-Drums 101" type video to learn some of the basics first. I'm not sure where to begin. Any advice? - Anyway, I need to learn how to utilize it better now. I'm joining a band that uses Band Helper Software, which can save sounds for every song for every instrument in the bands set list, but first, I need to learn how to program new and better sounds into my old DM10-Pro.

Excellent overview Nick... You actually sold me on the Alesis Striike Multipad. The problem I am having is I am unable to hear playback recorded from my Alesis Strike Multipad MIDI drums in my DAW (Protools Version 12.7.1) . I am using a USB (not 5 pin) connection connecting the Multipad to my computer. I do see the recorded MIDI in Protools, but I can only hear what I recorded in my DAW using headphones plugged into the Multipad, but when I listen to the recorded track in my DAW it is silent. What settings should I check in in the menu on the Alesis? Very frustrated. Instructions don't cover details. Thanks.

So where do we get the sheet music for that intro solo?

Hi there! How can I listen to ONLY the music out of EZ Drummer? I can still hear my e kit but I want just the ez drummer songs? Any thoughts? Using EZ Drummer 3 with TD-25KV

Holy moly didn’t know you can record with this😀

A tutorial about how to set this up to record with a DAW like Cakewalk would be very helpful.

Does it have the Roland TD-07 as a preset in software now to link?

helped me a lot. my carlsbro drum kit giving me a lag between the hit and the sound, plz help

I'm getting back into drumming after 30 years, just got a kit from Donner. One problem, the default sound the unit comes with is a bit disappointing, very flat with no range, all hits sound the same no matter how hard I hit. Do you think that is fixable with this software? You have range but you are also on a much more expensive kit by Roland.

Are there built in effects like reverb that you can use ? And after you create a drum track can you ad other instruments and vocals to make a song. Or would it have to be transferred over to another program like pro tools to create a song. And would transferring it be relatively easy ?

Nick!!! You're convincing me to change from acoustic to electronic kit. It's been on my mind for the last while.

Hello, Mark! The way you described is commonly how this is done when drummers gig with e-kits. Best case scenario is always going to be in ear monitors, that way each member of the band can more precisely control how much of it they are hearing. Even in those situations though, it is nice to have some sort of a drum amp or stage wedge on the stage to provide some degree of stage volume, which is lost without an acoustic kit. If you ask me, bringing a small monitor is not too much of a hassle considering all of the benefits you gain with an e-kit - no need for mic’ing, access to different tones on the fly, volume control, etc… Thanks for the interest!
