Published on 05/22/12 at 09:41The ToonTrack EZ drummer is a drum set simulated plug in that can be used in most DAW’s. I cant remember if you can use this as a stand alone application though (don’t know why you would want to anyways). Toon Track EZ Drummer Is often compared to Addictive Drums by NI. ToonTrack EZ Drummer is an affordable plug in if you are looking for those real drum sounds to add to your music. These types of softwares are really starting to push the live drummer of recorded music in today’s world because with programs like this you can do in midi what a real drummer can not do. You can just add all types of hits and drums when and wherever you want and that is virtual impossible for a real drummer to do.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The kits that come with Toontrack EZ drummer are pretty good kits, but I feel like it lacks in some areas. I really don’t like the Jazz kits at all I feel they could be better and this is where I feel like Addictive Drums excels better than Toontrack EZ Drummer.
OVERALL OPINION
Setting it up was easy, no different than any other standard plug in that you may use and the interface is right in front of you not a lot of menu’s and sub menu’s. Very easy to work through, I almost wish it was more indepth and a little more difficult to understand just so it felt like you could do more. The Manual wasn’t needed I have never opened it to know if it is clear or not which is a good thing because that means you wont need the manual.
Overall, if you like Toon Track EZ Drummer wait till you try Addictive Drums. All I can say is you don’t know what you are missing if you have tried Addictive Drums. If you havent purchased EZ Drummer then go right for Addictive Drums. You will see a Major difference and be way more satisfied with the abilities of Addictive Drums and the kits that come with it.
