As music technologies evolve, it is heartening that people like you are filling in the knowledge gap of how ToonTrack products work. They owe you [$$$] big time for their failed responsibility to explain their products like EZDrummer and Superior Drummer. Ironic because the products are pretty amazing. Who would even know if it wasn't for your hard work to explain it. This particular video has been a long time coming so thank you for your outstanding presentation.

I couldn’t attend the livestream yesterday but have caught up today. This was really informative and fun. The breadth of choice is amazing. I had no idea you could right click on a note and sometimes change the brush swirl time. I always learn something from you. Cheers Shawn!

Thanks Shawn. I'm only about half way through cuz I'm spending time playing with everything you're demonstrating. I've found a lot of inspiration already. I'm pretty sure I've never even opened Custom Shop before, and I just now spent about 20 minutes checking out the brushes. Great stuff, brother. I hope you get lots of support, because your content is by far the best there is for Toontrack products.

Inspired by the stream I continued to explore. I find the Custom Shop EZX has a a lot of good options on this topic. I have been pairing it with the Acoustic Songwriter packs that are onsale across the products. Something really different for me but I am digging it.

You have so many of the EZX expansions. I would be interested in a video of your custom kits created from mixing and matching kit pieces from various EZX expansions. Do you have any monster custom kits created from an EZX kit with a large number of kit slots?
@ShootieSchool
7 ай бұрын
I don't do anything extravagant. I do explain the process in my paid course on my site. Hip-Hop, Dance, Claustrophobic have the most slots if my memory serves. But if you want more of an analog room/processing, you may as well just use the EZD3 Bright Room or something.

So, signature seems to be the EZX to get, when you want to Add a brush kit to EZDrummer 3. Kinda bummed they made it such a small kit with only 2 Toms and 2 Crash cymbals. I'm a drummer and I hate it when kits have less than 3 toms 😄 Could I just open a larger drum kit and then replace all the parts with the brush parts from this kit? Then maybe just tune some of the toms higher/lower? For example take the bright room from the core library with all those cymbals and toms...
@ShootieSchool

That's possible, though you'll lose some of the sound processing. If you're edrumming or willing to take on a programming headache, you could use multiple instances of EZD instead.

Hey man, found this really interesting. I use a roland kit at church plugged into FL Studio running EZDrummer3. Has been an interesting process trying to get it sounding right. Currently have 3 different kits running at the same time triggered by different pads (standard kit for snare, kick and crash, big band for 2nd snare with brushes so I can play both brushes and sticks, and another standard kit for toms which I have EQ'd to get rid of the overtones that by default are very loud without hearing the texture of the tom). The area where I'm struggling in is cymbal rolls/swells. To get a really natural crescendo in them. It has a clear cutoff from hearing nothing to suddenly hearing sticks hitting them. I wonder if there's a mallet kit that I can use to get some very nice natural crescendos. Any ideas? Cheers man and love your work!
@ShootieSchool

Have you adjusted the sensitivity on that cymbal via the Roland module? Or adjust the Velocity for that cymbal in the Edrums setting of EZdrummer? I do list all of the Mallet kits on my site you could consider, but you'll never know how they'll play until they're on your settings. If you can program the crescendo to sound good in EZD3's Grid Editor, there's a good chance you can perform it live by adjusting settings.

@@ShootieSchoolyep I’ve played around a lot with the sensitivity settings, but I feel like the issue is just that sticks will always have an obvious harsher sound when doing a crescendo. If you hit the cymbal pad too softly, you get no sound. So you trying hitting it a little bit harder and boom you can hear the harsh sound of the stick and cymbal. I can get a decent crescendo on it if I’m playing a full beat and am already at volume, but if I really want a super smooth roll on, where you just hear this soft cymbal swell sound, I wonder if that’s just only possible with mallets? I guess the next question is which kit would has the best mallet cymbal swell sound? Like an orchestra one or so? The expansions aren’t cheap, so all I have now is normal, big band and jazz, neither of which has mallets. And it’s just the cymbal mallet sound that I’m lacking, so buying a full expansion seems a little excessive. Anyway; keen to hear your thoughts! Cheers from NZ

Are the newer EZX packs better than the ones from years gone by? I know technology has changed over the years so I think it is a question that needs to be asked. I own EZD3 by the way

Tone is completely subjective which is why I think older ones are still valuable. But the newer ones are bigger, the newer generations have a bigger bit rate resolution, and some newer ones for the most part have newer articulations or even features.

You build them yourself with the Grid Editor or by performing them and recording them.
