EZdrummer 2 is designed to have a groove to start with, and edit that to taste, rather than starting from the ground up. If you want to start from the ground you should program this in a DAW (like Cubase, Logic, etc) or invest in Superior Drummer 3 – which has its own Grid Editor.

To get musical suggestions, you can tap in the rhythm you want in Tap2Find (or drag a file from the song track to the Tap2Find drop zone) to find similarly played grooves.

If you want to record things using the mouse, but you can’t play that fast, you can lower the tempo of the song so it doesn’t play that fast. However – this is a clumsy way, where it’s difficult to set individual hit velocities, change where individual notes should play, etc.

I also cannot figure out how to undo a note, it seems I have to undo the entire snare and start over.

Do you mean when you have recorded snare notes and you just want to undo the last one? This can’t be done using undo, and it’s designed like this since EZdrummer 2 isn’t mainly designed to create or start building grooves from scratch.

• However, there’s a workaround:
  • Use the cut tool on the song block and cut out the part where the unwanted snare is.
  • Double click the song block, in Edit Play Style right click the snare and select Remove MIDI

To cut parts and edit the MIDI is the way to alter certain small parts of the song.

Please reply back here with further questions you may have! Nice to have a new user onboard 🙂
