I don't know about EZ, but BFD2 will do all that and a lot more besides.

bj,how much is bfd paying you to push their products/?
lol
 
you are funny man,
well it worked with me anyway,i did get bfd,its a learning curve but i really like it.
so it was good advise from yours truely.
 
i will say this,addictive drumms is really cool too.as is ez drummer.
 
as far as the gui and set up though,session drummer is probably the easiest and my favorite.
hey look,it doesnt have the sounds that bfd does,
but you can drop samples right into session drummer..can bfd do that?
or addictive?
i know addictive you cant.
 
and i like to process my drums.
bfd's drums are already really processed(you can make them dry)
but serious,im not just being the fan boi here.
i like session drummer.you can do alot with it.
only thing i dont like is the hi hats.
still havent figured out how to replace the hi hat and get both the open and closed hat

Paying me?

I wish they were, I'd do it a lot more.

No they're not, they are totally dry unless you choose a mixer preset

but you can drop samples right into session drummer..can bfd do that?

What, kit pieces? Well you can easily replace an existing piece with another from BFD's database. Or did you mean Midi tracks? Again, the answer is yes, you just drag & drop from the groove page. If you mean can you drop the wavs that make up a sample set into BFD, then no, but that's missing the entire point of BFD.

thats my problem with Session drummer the high hats, cymbals sound a bit thick!

I know you can manipulate them but just to have a bigger arsenal would be better.

I heard that Cake are doing the proteus pack. What does it consist of?

with session drummer,all you need to do is drag a kick sample(wave 16 or 24 bit) and drop it right on the picture of the kick drum in session drummers gui(try it)
cant do that in bfd,i just tried.
 
i can literaly try a sample of 100's of kicks and snares and when try them out as easily as droping them right in the kit

Sure you can do this, but you will only have 1 sample for the entire velocity range. The stock kits with Session Drummer have multi-samples (most do anyway) to create some sort of realism, but as soon as you drag and drop a new sound onto the drum (or cymbal) you are then stuck with just 1 sample no matter how hard that drum is hit!  (yes, the volume goes up and down, but it's the same sound)
 
BFD, EZ, Superior, Addictive, etc.... go the extra mile to get the most samples they can per drum - to cover the entire velocity range. To me this creates a much more realistic drum environment!
 
Just my 2 cents.
