I've been needing drum software for a long time.
I think I decided on EZdrummer, and maybe some expansions. http://www.amazon.com/Toontrack-EZdrummer-...r/dp/B000KY156E Do anyone know and reccomend Drumkit from hell and MetalheadsEZX? Do I need anything extra to use the programs fully, like Reaper or something I have to buy? I read that installing and registration is difficult, but that is just something you do only once off course. This post has been edited by Ulrik: Feb 25 2012, 02:02 AM -------------------- |

I have DFH in EZD and love it. It's a must if you want metal. You get the action of double kick. I often change patterns anyway. Reaper is a great program to use. You can skim through this video I made for the tutorial of making backing tracks. Maybe it will give you an idea of how this works.

I have to agree with the idea that yes you really need at least DFH. It's a must have expansion pack if you wanna play heavy music. Also, the MIDI packs containing wads of extra metal drum bits are worth a look. Thy are only about 30 bux each.
Also, have a look at BFD ECO it was about 30 bux last time I checked and is actually far more feature rich than EZ drummer out of the box. I dig EZ drummer and have DFH and several midi packs. All said and done it's easily a couple hundred bux even on sale. But for 30, BFD eco sounds amazing all by itself. It's a bit more complex but it's got more to it as well. You don't have to add wads of extra plugins in your DAW just to make the drums sound decent. With EZdrummer, I usually have to add several plugins to punch up the drum sound.

So what about the Metalheads expansion, any references? I guess EZ and DFH is a good start This post has been edited by Ulrik: Feb 25 2012, 11:00 AM -------------------- |

Damn it all to hell... this is hard.
I found a really good prize from Amazon.com, but they will not ship. I have to use Amazon.uk and that is at almost double the price. And now I see, there is also some expansion called Metal machine EZX http://www.toontrack.com/products.asp?item=119 So I haven't really decided after all. I'll search more prices -------------------- |

I really recommend that you buy all the MIDI packs from Toontrack. They are cheap, and very good!

I'll ask elsewhere also, but while you're all on the topic...
What's a good program for non-metal beats? Funky, jazz, country, etc... I'm pretty new to recording, and haven't figured out that part yet. I'm using a KB37 (Line 6) interface/midi controller, the AbletonLite that came with it. But I also have Reaper and Audacity, and a very limited Riffworks software.

Ez Drummer is awesome, but Addictive Drums is worth a look also I have it, and it sounds pretty good.
