With Battery you can also import your own samples and build your very own drumsets.ĮZDrummer does the "Virtual Drumset" approach which has become popular in latter years (together with Superior, BFD and Addictive Drums).

It also comes with a far bigger sampleset including electronic drums and fx. The difference between EZDrummer vs Superior Drummer is that EZDrummer is considered the ‘lite’ version of the two, and therefore offers limited creative control.

RE: Battery 3 vs EZ Drummer 3 05:55:35 ( ) EZDrummer has only got acoustic drum sounds and sounds very good straight out of the box. The library that is included sounds gorgeous, and adds a whole new palette of sounds.īut the real winners are the Decades expansion, which is becoming my first choice on a lot of things, and the orchestral library, which covers a lot of instruments really well. There are some nice new workflow features, but nothing I could not have lived without, I think? I did upgrade, and there is no audible difference for SD2 expansions. If you have no need for any of the SD3 only expansions then SD2 could be a good investment. My thoughts only - but SD2 ia a very capable drum tool, and the expansion packs range from really good to outstanding.
