EZDrummer 3

Expert drum sounds

This flagship drum library needed a sound to match the functionality and this is exactly what EZDrummer 3 boasts. Recorded by award-winning engineer Michael Ilbert (Coldplay, Adele, The Weeknd) at the world-famous Hansa Studios in Berlin, Germany, EZDrummer 3 is armed with 15GB of sounds to explore. Comprised of seven full handpicked kits, you can explore a huge palette of sounds covering everything from mellow and vintage to bright and heavy. A stunning collection of premium and boutique instruments is made up of 14 kicks, 24 snares, 30 toms, six hi-hats, six rides, 16 crashes, three splashes, two chinas and one clap stack from world-renown manufacturers.

Making use of all three live rooms within Hansa Studios EZDummer 3 includes kits recorded in all three rooms for maximum versatility and ambience. The main room is spacious but not overpowering, ideal for anything from laid-back singer-songwriter to modern pop. Two kits have been recorded in the main room including the Studio Kit and Singer-Songwriter Kit, offering transparent, detailed and elegant sounds ideal for a huge range of genres from pop, rock and funk.

The Bright room features marble walls contrasted by hardwood floorings, presenting a bright punch and ambience. Two kits were recorded in this room including the Modern Rock Kit and Vintage Rock kit. The added brightness and definition from the room ambience make these the perfect solution for powerful rock sounds.

Lastly, the Tight room is a highly-compact room, filled with sound-absorbing materials for a dry and precise sound. Three further kits were recorded in this room including the Tight and Punchy Kit, Classic Pop Kit and Hip-Hop/R&B kit. Fat and snappy, these kits have been recorded with a mix of tea towel shell coverings for that classic vintage and dry tone making them perfect for rhythm-based genres from R&B, jazz, Latin and much more.

In traditional Toontrack fashion, EZDrummer 3 comes loaded with a plethora of artist and signature presets for users of all abilities to explore the sonic landscapes possible or to dive into production-ready tones for your composition.

Got a riff? Let Bandmate do the rest

New for EZDrummer 3 is the Bandmate function, an AI-powered rhythm generator that crafts customised beats to your audio or MIDI files. The perfect starting point for writing your music, Bandmate allows you to input any melodic instrument from bass, keys or guitars and be presented with musically accurate drum grooves that fit your riff. Using smart analysis tools, Bandmate listens to transient information to match kick drum patterns, making it incredibly accurate to your audio or MIDI riff. Generating a plethora of matching grooves with a different feel, power hand and even genre, you can match virtually any style of guitar riff, bass groove or even key melody to find something that fits your composition in seconds.

Once you have found a groove that suits your track, you can customise it further using the three knobs to musically refine the number of snare hits, kick hits and the power hand. Ideal for adding everything from subtle snare ghost notes, extra kick drums for up-tempo rock or metal and more articulations on your power hand for extra flair. Alongside these, Bandmate provides global controls for velocity and swing, letting you change the intensity and groove of your track.

When working with MIDI files as your source, Bandmate will automatically provide a selection of sound banks from synths, keys, bass and guitars to give you an audio representation of how your AI-generated drum groove matches with your composition.

Transform your grooves into songs

The song Song Creator in EZDrummer 3 provides you with a selection of pre-made templates to craft a song from a groove in seconds. Simply drag a MIDI groove into your Song Creator and let EZDrummer 3 take care of the rest. Providing you with a selection of arrangements based on intelligent AI processing, you are presented with musically similar grooves and parts to craft full compositions. Each section within your structure can be swapped out for an alternative groove to better match your track and style with ease. Designed for songwriters, this is the perfect solution for quickly and easily getting your ideas recorded into full song structures to remain in the creative groove without getting bogged down by manual drum programming.

The MIDI library

Over 2,500+ MIDI files are included with Toontrack EZDrummer 3 spanning a huge range of genres and styles from soul, Latin, funk, metal, hip-hop, EDM and much more. Arranged in a song structure format with smart filtering abilities, the grooves onboard cover everything from the subtle to extreme to cover your musical needs. Whether you're crafting experimental prog rock and need a multitude of time signatures or classic EDM four-to-the-floor, EZDrummer 3 can accommodate your needs. Each MIDI file has been performed by a real drummer to ensure maximum authenticity and realism for your projects, meaning you won't need to spend any time editing micro-timing and velocity parameters and can instead dive into high-quality drum production.

Newly introduced in EZDrummer 3 is the Groove Parts menu. This allows you to customise, refine, slice and dice every file within the MIDI library. Combine individual instruments from each groove to create custom grooves without any tedious editing, simply drag and drop the parts you want into your Song Creator tab and make fresh and new beats perfectly fit your music.
