ez drummer

Hello, I have been using ez drummer and really like it. But, I have purchased drumkit from hell, nashville kit, and funkmasters. The main reason I bought the exp pacs is because I wanted more grooves of different styles. The funk masters pac didnt come with very many grooves. So, I really dont want anymore drum kits but I would like a bunch of drum grooves that can be auditioned in ez drummer and then dragged and dropped into the track. All suggestions as to some software to check out is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

Groovemonkee (or is it monkey) sells loads of midi grooves. Or you could simply program your own...

Another vote for Groove Monkey. Their grooves have a bit more to them than the stock EZD files and they can be installed so they appear within EZD's browser.

Groove Monkee has some of the best MIDI grooves available and be sure to go through the DigiFreq Deals page because then you can get 10% off any Groove Monkee products (as well as products from a number of other manufacturers):

Hey Jeff,

Yep, you can use Groove Monkee loops in EZdrummer. Groove Monkee provides all its loops in various drum formats and provides instructions on how to install them.

When you mentioned Sonar 8, did you mean my Sonar 8 Power book? If so, thanks! I hope you enjoy the book.

Best,
Scott

To the poster. Yuo do know that you can edit any of the midi groove in the PRV.
No need to wste $$$ and youll be going thru 10000000000000 grooves to find the one that fits exactly how you want it too.
Just find a close one and edit it in the PRV or just make your own in the prv starting with a simple 1/4 exdrummer beat.
its EzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

The Poster....you need an EZ drummer drum map that you can set your midi tracks to...which will then show you the proper drums in the piano view...do a search on this forum for these and you should be able to find someone with a download link providing these drum maps.

Groovemonkey also provides drum maps. Only for the standard kit though, I believe.

But I'll agree with everyone that Groovemonkey has some great beats.

And CJ is right (again? ). Get a beat that's close to what you want then make it your own. That's the whole concept about pre-made beats.

Cool, thanks Scott. I will check this out. I too am hungry for more drum grooves to use inside EZD, but I would also be throughly impressed if I could use them with Jamstix as well. I know Jamstix will benefit me, but I have not learned it well yet, mainly because EZD is so darn......... EZ!
