EZD3 has everything I need, and it's a really nice upgrade over EZD2. I like to send my drums as a multi-track (and mostly dry) to my DAW and process it there, so I don't care about the mixer. If I had more tweakability to drum sounds, I'd probably goof around with that like I do too much with guitar tones and synths/samples and not get enough music creation done.

Same thing I do, just eq them how I please etc haven't really touched the mixer. EZ drummer is really a phenomenal tool I've gotten some amazing sounds out of it.

Nothing in EZD is raw

Really well done Jason. (I love that Toontrack has featured your channel so prominently in their Metal Month Newsletter #3). Exciting!!

Excellent comparison thank you!!

Thank you. Just getting started with EZDrummer. You are a great musician.

This video really helped me out, thanks. Bandmate feature should be included in SD3 too.

Great video!

Hey Jason yes, I got introduced to Superior Drummer from Ola England recently. I use Accoustica Mixcraft software for my recording studio and, as a Guitarist do not enjoy just plugging in Samples to fit some structure. Compairing the two, EZ Drummer to Superior Drummer I think as someone who does ths stuff in a home setting, EZ drummer will be a great starter. The Band Mate Feature is the number one reason. This video of yours was posted only a month ago and I am now looking into doing things different, wow how things come together. Thanx for the shared content and your experience using both softwares.

One of my fave megadeth songs.

That track is almost Skin o' My Teeth by Megadeth.

Great Vid I have SD3 and I am definitely dropping the cash for the BandMate in EZ3 definitely well worth the cost to have both. When I saw you drag and drop into SD3 to fine tune that was the clincher for me!

I've been using SD3 for a while now and honestly the sounds don't compare to EzDrummer. The Superior packs sounds so damn real.

Superior drumer 3 tiene 250 gigas masomenos , te lo has descargado todo eso en 28 minutos?

Long time EZDrummer user and very happy with the results. With the kits & tools available in EZD I've have a hard time justifying the move to Superior Drummer. Maybe Black Friday?

There sd3 sale is on now.

Looking at purchasing SD3 but I'm unsure which laptop to get to run it through. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

I was super excited to upgrade from EZD2 to EZD3 for the band mate function. Not gonna lie, but it’s not very good at matching a beat. I’ve even tried using a DI on a very simple song and it just hasn’t worked. I wanted so bad for the band mate to be awesome but I’m finding myself resorting back to the tap2find more often than using band mate. Just my two cents worth

Hi there , what is the drum kit showing the northern light in background ?

Dude...even literally unedited at all it already sounded seriously solid. Even the fills are put in great spots that fits the riff construction. This would save good 4 to 6 hours writing a drum on a piano roll and reduce it to like... 30 mins at most.

If the only plus side to SD3 is the sounds and flexibility, that seems like something you could get around with some good libraries or another application that costs way less.

what application?

I am choosing which drum software to buy and your review cleared my mind. In the comparison I like the version of ez drummer 3 much better than the version of superior drummer. I also love the speed with which you can have an already very usable drum track

I found things that i didn't knew i needed xDD I'm starting my studies in guitar, in my rom. This is amazing. PLEASE: Do you know any software that transform audio in MIDI for BASS or Guitar? Thanks! Obrigado e Abraços do Brasil!

shame they didn't include it. I think the obvious reason is to get you to buy both EZD3 and SD3

Are you quantizing or tempo mapping your source guitar track Or did you just originally track guitar to a click or groove track It’s pretty close to spot on

@JasonSadites

I just tracked those to a click. I never quantize my tracks :-)

I know I am late to the party but this is a great video. I wonder when Superior Drummer 4 is going to drop so I can upgrade Superior Drummer 3 to it.

The ez drummer version hits so much harder wtf?? So good

I’m still using EZ drummer 2. Time for an upgrade. Damn, now I have to spend more money!

Top 3 ez drummer 3 expansion pack for progressive metal?

Can u use the groove presets commercially

Great job, well done! IMHO the SD3 variant with the imported tracks sounded best, starting at 25:51. Especially the snare rolls, build-ups and various fills sound more natural and real than in EZD3 (which in turn sounded more "spectacular", but also more "mechanical" - somewhat unpleasant in the mix). Would be quite interesting to hear Addictive Dums 2 /3 in a similar setup too.

So SD3 has the Bandmate feature also, right?

Is there a way to plug my old drum machine up with midi and one of these programs do sound/sample replacement. Ive got a whole record programmed on my drum machine, a lot of technical stuff and i just need better sounds and not have to reprogram

@benjaminsouther4329

Yeah man you can absolutely do that if you haven't figured it out already. I see your comments couple months old so I hope you've figured it out by now. But that's the beauty of doing this. We could plug your sounds in and via MIDI and pick from thousands of different drum sounds. I mean we're talking some pretty thorough stuff here. Different rooms. Different drums. Different mics. Different placements you can select how much bleed you want from other parts of your kit. I mean it's absolutely amazing. If you haven't already gotten it, you should get it.

It’s so weird hearing a metal riff clean. I’m thinking about getting the bundle that has ez mix, ez drummer, ez bass and ez keys but I’m not sure if they are worth it.

I love Toontrack! I have recently bought EZD3 (my first drum plugin, at the age of 59). Bandmate is an excellent tool. Would love something along the lines of that new Superior Drummer Hitmaker pack, but I hear that versions do eventually make there way to EZD3. Waiting in anticipation 🙂

What are your thoughts on modo drum 1.5? I was thinking ez drummer but I feel I'm getting quite the amount of kits w/ the IK product and i can change certain settings i can't with ez drummer.

I hope they are working on some AI / Machine Learning in the next version... to enable us to grow smart variations from a starting groove. Which company will be first?

Wonder if they have a upgrade from EZ drummer 3 to SD3?

@samoliver9132

They do. It’s 320 dollars

Does SD have controls to slide the groove (or parts) ahead or behind the pocket? Thanks

As a SD3 owner, I think paying EUR 165 just for Bandmate is a bit steep...
