Inspiring Sound and Content
Recorded in the legendary rooms of Hansa Studios, the 7 kits deliver textures ranging from silky pop to punchy rock. The cymbal sets, additional elements, and percussion expand the palette, while a wide selection of mix presets and effects instantly provide sonic signatures suited to every style.
Assisted Composition and Smart Search
The "Bandmate" feature analyzes your audio/MIDI files and suggests grooves tailored to your music. With "Tap-2-Find," tap a pattern and let EZdrummer 3 find close variants in its library of over 2500 grooves and fills covering rock, pop, soul, funk, disco, electronic, hip-hop, EDM, metal, punk, jazz, Latin music, and country.
Fast and Natural Musical Editing
The internal sequencer allows recording and arranging complete drum tracks. The grid editor and step sequencer facilitate micro-editing, while humanization functions and the extended "Edit-Play" mode adjust velocities, articulations, and accents for an organic feel. Replace any kit instrument with your own samples for a unique signature.
