FYI, based in part on recommendations here, I bought the Groove Monkees rock and country MIDI loops (combined) set.

They loop very nicely in EZD, and they're good beats, even inspiring. I also like the way they're organized--they're named so that you see a particular groove with all its related variations and fills, right there. Makes it much easier to construct a track once you've selected the basic groove.

The whole package--EZD plus the MIDI files--gives you a lot of power and flexibility. Not to mention that auditioning the MIDI files right in the drum machine is a big improvement to workflow.

Yes, I got the same Rock & Country Bundle. Great beats and a nice change of pace from the ToonTrack MIDI loops. I agree that the organizational/drill down aspect is very good. If you have ever used the Drums on Demand audio loops you will know what I mean.

In case anyone is interested... for future reference, you can get all Groove Monkee products for 10% off through DigiFreq. Smart Loops stuff too. Just visit the DigiFreq Deals page:
