EZdrummer is a sample-based drum software synthesizer developed by Toontrack. It is a simplified version of its predecessor, Superior Drummer. EZdrummer is based upon approximately 7000 16-bit 44.1 kHz samples of real drum kits. EZdrummer contains a mixer that allows the user to adjust the independent volumes of each of the microphones on the drum kit. EZdrummer also comes with approximately 8000 MIDI drumloops that can be directly drag and dropped.These loops are tempo-synchronized and volume-adjustable.
Toontrack has released twelve expansion packs for EZdrummer:
- Cocktail (included as part of the EZdrummer package)
- Drumkit from Hell (recorded with Tomas Haake)
- Vintage Rock
- Latin Percussion
- Nashville (recorded with Harry Stinson)
- Claustrophobic
- Twisted
- Funkmasters (recorded with John "Jabo" Starks and Clyde Stubblefield, two drummers most famous for their work with James Brown)
- Jazz (recorded with Roy Wooten)
- Electronic
- Metalheads (recorded with Tomas Haake)
- Metal Machine (recorded with John Tempesta)
- The Classic
The software has been used to produce a variety of albums, most notably Devin Townsend's 2007 concept album Ziltoid the Omniscient[1] and Meshuggah's album Catch Thirtythree (Tomas Haake helped develop the Drumkit from Hell software).
