Staying with the intelligent angle, the new Bandmate feature allows the drag and dropping of MIDI or audio, requesting EZdrummer 3 to compile and suggest appropriate grooves to accompany your analysed file. As before, this can be dialled in sympathetically, and once applied can be exported out to your DAW, although it is also easy to build a song construct within EZdrummer 3, and get it to sync and play along.
With EZdrummer 3, this has moved on a level, with the addition of smart AI algorithms, that intelligently and musically alter the way these components interact. One of five packs in the virtual drummer lineup for the heavier end of production business.įirst seen in EZDrummer 2, the Power Hand parameter allowed easy embellishment of leading drum parts, such as ghost notes on a snare. Ujam Virtual Drummer (opens in new tab).If you like EZdrummer 3, but want to take it further, this provides all the bells and whistles. There is plenty of diversity to provide you with a palette which is usable, to the greatest possible degree. The characteristics and behaviour of the drum elements can be so radically different from one room to the next. Not all of the components might resonate with your production style, that is until you suddenly find a place to use them! It’s really due to the fact that you have the choice to either go with a tight snare or the next time a deeper toned snare, that makes this package so appealing. Another important point to make is that with the ability to swap out kit components, there is considerable variety.
Unsurprisingly, each and every room and kit sounds stunning, leaving the user to merely load their desired kit, with the option of swapping out individual instrument elements, at will. There’s also a matching complement of percussion instruments, such as tambourines, shakers, cowbells and even claps, snaps and foot-stomps. What we get is a beautiful combination of seven different kits, recorded in three different rooms the Main Room, the Bright Room and the Tight Room, all under the watchful eye of Ilbert, who has also curated a superb set of signature production-ready mixes. It’s important to stress here that these are all-new samples and not a repeat of the Hansa SDX suite. Michael Ilbert (right) and the (EZ) drummer Norman Garschke (Image credit: Future)
