Toontrack EZdrummer 2 Review

Russ takes a look at the long-awaited EZdrummer 2 from Toontrack and sees if it lives up to the hype.

How easy is it to get a great beat and a great sound, or is easy just a convenient name for the product?

Russ takes it for a spin as a songwriter to see if it can live up to a real world test.

Find out what he thinks in this extended show and tell review.

This is the best quick start tutorial for a beginner such as myself. The other ones go too deep into the weeds. This one is excellent for getting up and running(after installation) and getting the basics down. Thank you very much Sir.

I love EZdrummer 2. I have Pro Tools 12 with a 2016 MacBook Pro (16g RAM) and I always get issues with my buffer size. Even when all I am running is EZ drummer (no other plugins). Any tips you can suggest? Even when I run the buffer size at its highest setting, it still interrupts while playing. Great video!

At first Glance it looks like Toontrack have being paying attention to the end user experience ! The Ez 2 tap to find Feature is going to save so much precious time & eliminate the tedium of having to search for grooves .As a songwriter conserving  creative energy is a Big plus 2 for me !!  They should do the same upgrade for superior drummer aswell ! Nice Review Russ

Nice video, thanks you for this. Just have to say that i was a bit annoyed by the guitars that where not played perfectly in time with the metronome.

My favourite dummer joke ever. Thanks Russ, you legend!

[IntheDAW]

wow thats amazing I kinda want to upgrade to E2 now

[TSIRHCSEVAS]

can i record a piano midi instead of guitar one as a base for ez drummer to find a matching groove?

[Stabbing-Serenade]

how did you record your guitar track to your computer? I am completely new to this whole drumbeat softwhere thing. I am going to buy ezdrummer2. it loos like the best option so far

[lewisburton]

Great presentation thank you for demonstrating WHILE talking about it. Not talking 3hrs about it then demonstrating.

[slackereconomy]

now that is some clever stuff.  toontrack are relly doing some interesting things with their VSTIs

[luizhaviel]

Can you please tell what programs you are using use in this video? Thanks!

[DMVRCO]

Can you use this if you have a real drummer and you want to use this awesome plug-in for Drum replacement?hope that makes sense!

[Ullish]

anyone had problems opening ezdrummer 2 in pro tools?

i'm assuming you just creat a stereo instrumental track, create a plugin like the original

[VinceCyril]

Does this have the ability to change tempo in the middle of the song?

[monsterjazzlicks]

A drum machine gets the BEER in !! lol

[bassicuk]

He definitely has a Midlands accent ;)

[GiostraTV]

No, sounds are good...but the carpet...
The Logic one is much more better

[Jimmywasarockstar]

No thank you. I'll keep the original, they've gone and overcomplicated this one.

Great plugin. Great value for the prize. Only downside (and its a big one) is the sound quality. cant use this toy drums on a serious recording, , ,
