Bought ezdrummer last friday and I must say it kicks ass. Love the mixer and the sounds on it.

Also bought meself a mini el-guitar and that to rocks, can't handle normal size cause my delicate ukulele fingers cant bend that way

Cool! I am considering ezdrummer to compliment Stylus RMX.

From what I have read it is different to RMX in both sounds and function. Is that right?

"Also bought meself a mini el-guitar and that to rocks, can't handle normal size cause my delicate ukulele fingers cant bend that way"

Hehe...as a guitar player who shed blood to develop his skills, I just can't bring myself to sympathise with you!

Hell yeah it does!

Vaguely similar to RMX, in that both are drum engines that let you drag MIDI patterns into your sequencer...

why would you pay 180 for ez-drummer when you can get the LOGIC PRO 7 of drum sample pluggins (STYLUS RMX) for adding price on one ezdrummer refill???

I have both and they are completly different
EZDrummer is a straight ahead acoustic drums system that is really midi based so u can edit and use midi nate data however you want
RMX is loop slice based with some midi support it has some crazy sounds and beats and can do other instruments like voices basses guitars or whatever you can record as a loop RMX has a lot more things to play with and way better racks of effects and the like EZ Drummer is simpler and more straight.
I would use EZDrummer for clean sounding rock and pop tracks and everything else RMX much more hiphop but straight stuff too.

so in easy drummer can you take one of the midi loops that come with the program and edit those/add to them to make your own drum loop? and then can you save that as a user midi file to use later?

like i have a song, find a loop that is along the lines of what i want the drums to sound like, then edit/add to that loop to make the perfect drum track?

You take the loop you like from the app then drag n drop into the live-set. Change it whatever way you want.

But I really like making my own beats with it. Listen here if you want to

Hi,
I´m also interested in buying the ez drummer,
but I´ve still an open question:
How does the midi work, do you use the patterns inside ez or can you use them as midiclips inside Live?
Does that work as drag and drop to Live?

Here's what you do for FAT 'live' soundin' Drums :
post an ad looking for a drummer for recording in your local newspaper (usually free), A bunch of kids with drumsets will call you , some gifted some....not, take about a week to audition them (ask them to come to where they practice - a good sounding drumset is as important as getting a tight sounding drummer ...).

Now you're set. You're on your way to glory...You've got you're own personal recording drummer kid which is glad that someone wants to record HIM and that someone thinks his drumset sounds too cool f school (musician psychology 101)...
the advantages of this method:1. 400 bucks buys you a lot of tracks with your personal drummer kid .2. you can do your OWN micking and record REAL drums over your tracks. 3. it's more FUN .4.U can record at 24bit 88/96k (HD style baby!!!) 5. sounds better 90% of the times (and no I don't care that the guys at spectrasonics record each set w gold plated Neumanns on a platinum covered console in superb sounding studios...).6.you can later tweak the hell out of it using live or slice it up and throw it in STYLUS(believe me you'll enjoy yourself allot more playing with the Chaos engine in stylus on your own recorded waves)
I believe you have to get your hands dirty to make Good music it will make your tracks come alive...
for the record I liked ezdrummer as well, and stylus Is the most awesome groovebox alive and is a great tool for sketching your drums.
oh yeah, don't forget to send a click....Cheers.

P.s - this post presumes that you own/can borrow at least 3 mics and are a dedicated producer/musician/producer...phewww long post...

"many loops come with the drum kit from hell EZX?"

I quickly counted about 18000 midi files, although alot of them are subtle variations of a certian style of straight or triplet metal beats.

How about using Ez Drummer in a Live rack.
A friend of mine has it and the midi controls are not available on it (unlike Battery of B4 for instance).

Is it possible to make your own macro mappings with it in order to get automapping working (novation, mackie control etc.)?
Thanks
