You could probably get by in EZ2 without buying any expansion pack, but I found the stock metal kit pretty lacking. You literally have nothing to lose :)ĮZD2 is $99 and the Made of Metal EZX is another $79., and SD3.0 is $399. Looking to upgrade to SD3 after the next paycheck :)Īnyway, check out Reaper, the trial is free and it is fully functional. It sounds great.Ĭheck out toontrack's site for a full break down. And I am saying that at the same time as saying EZdrummer is a great product. EZdrummer cannot hold a candle to what SD3 is capable of.
The problem with SD was that you had to buy expansion packs to do certain genres of music.ĮZdrummer2 and SD3 is not a fair comparison.
The fact that you get 6 drumkits AND electronic drum samples in one package is extremely good. Really in depth stuff.įrom the little understanding I have of SD3, it's basically trying to converge everything together into one large package. Superior Drummer had a lot more options to tweak things. Same samples as Superior Drummer 2, just easier to use out of the box. Reaper is a brilliant choice for a guitarist, and band work in general.
