Superior has acces to all the EZ loops & kits
Superior has some loops & kits too
Either one will likely need an expansion pack to give you more options

Superior has loops. I had EZ drummer and honestly didn't care for the stock kit all that much, the kick drum sounded like paper to me. I passed on superior for awhile cause of it, But now superior is what I primarily use. Its not TONS better then EZ, but in my opinion, it does sound better for whatever reason. Better tools to tweak possibly, more options to shape the sound that make even the presets sound better. Some good expansion packs. EZ expansions are getting better though making EZ a better deal. Superior is awesome though.
Both will require add ons to get the most mileage and sound possibilities.

What DAW are you guys using with Ez Drummer/Superior Drummer? I have an old ass PrTools 002 that I use on an old ass Mac G5 that I am sure will not work with these and I am not sure I want to upgrade my PT system again even though I have a brand new MacBook Pro that I could use with it.

You will probably be able to use it fine with your setup specially ez. How much ram? Bigger kits in superior might tax your system more. Higher buffer setting will help

Totally want... I hate trying to explain drumming ideas to drummers that are untrained and combative.

Just read the system requirements and my G5 is a PPC model not an Intel. And my PT will not run in OS 10.5 so I am still on 10.4.11. Looks like either one needs Intel and 10.5. I pretty much knew this as Drumagog (what I use now) is the same way.

Probably a stupid question, but can I easily bring EZDrummer into GarageBand on my MacBook Pro? Is it a significant upgrade over the drums already in GarageBand?
Also, how easy is it to program a complete drum track in EZDrummer, from the ground up (i.e., not starting from a loop)? Will I need a midi controller to do it, or will a keyboard and mouse be sufficient?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. $29.99 is a killer deal......
Thanks gents!

I got the metal head by accident the preloaded beats are just Meshuggah beat/songs, I would go with Drum kit from hell which is actually pretty decent or metal machine,nevusofota":3g5jfyy2 said:Thanks for the heads up!Skrapmetal":3g5jfyy2 said:

IDK about Garageband, but programming a track is super quick compared to my drum machines in the 80s & 90s. Midi keys are helpful, but mouse will do everything you need. I typically find a generic drum track that is close to the beat I need, then make tweaks....but you could certainly go from the ground up. EZdrummer sound quality is just ok- the cymbals are really exposed. Superior yields higher bit rates and sounds like the real deal with proper tweaks.rlord1974":1pnr7ftf said:

Geez bro, all of your damn questions... you might ask Luke Curd, I'm sure he'll be able to help.rlord1974":2ca27xkl said:

Now, now, Garey. I'm illiterate when it comes to computer recording, so I need all the help I can get. I don't need any fancy DAW's or anything. If I could integrate EZDrummer into GarageBand, which I already have, I think I'd be set.......
I just want to be able to work with some ideas, quick and easy. I'm not looking to make CD-quality recordings on my computer that I can print and distribute........

Yes, you can integrate it with GB.

yeah i got this last year's sale. Helps make music. Better than a metronome. Helps with practice. Then I got the metal extension to add on to it. Great stuff.

Just gotta say thanks to the OP for posting this...I got EZdrummer and the MM pack and it is awesome and fun as hell. Been meaning to do this for the last couple years but never got around to it. the fact that I saved a ton of loot is gravy on top. Superior 2.0 is next.
Already made my first drum track and will be posting a new video soon...
