This is just a comparison with data that I’ve collected and yes with EZdrummer you have control over the sounds that they give you ADSR or compression and Distortion, mic placement, room reverb, drum location, mic blend, effects, and it does have quite a large selections of drums that you can pick from but with AD you have that and editable mappings ( I don’t think that EZdrummer can do that although I may be mistaken about that). There’s a just a tremendous library they’ve included of midi beats, bigger than the set that comes standard with EZdrummer. There’s a lot more that I really can’t off the top of my head come up with. AD has a lot of functionality the interface is clean, in my opinion better than EZdrummer. Superior Drummer 2 is also an amazing tool and a great piece of software.
Superior Drummer lacks the ability for symbol swells, although you can create cymbal swells. The one thing that’s missing for Superior, I would say, is the ability to control cymbal grabs. It’s hit-and-miss when it comes to the sounds you’re actually trying to produce. You can actually program the AD2 for symbol grabs. You would have to separate the symbols with the attack increased a little to wash it out quickly and it will give you the symbol grab effect. But it is definitely difficult to program techniques such as symbols swells and snare drags and things of this nature with Superior. I really enjoy sampling with a Superior Drummer 2, it’s just amazing. I’ve actually used it to sample on to my acoustic kit and then I blend them adding the human aspect in between the two functionalities. I really love the acoustic sound and the sampling from Superior especially for snare work ( so I don’t have to do too much compression).Īs far as the Steven Slate Drums in comparison to Superior Drummer, in my personal opinion, Superior drummer 2 is definitely the way to go. Steven Slate Drums have a really complicated interface which is hard to get your head around at first but once you do it’s pretty seamless and can be very effective. Superior drummer 2 is very good for mixing but you there is a learning curve and you have to be really good at mixing, but in the long run it is very effective when it comes down to doing the actual mixing.
Superior Drummer is really close to the price point of Slate and the SDX expansions are a lot better with samples and more comprehensive.
