Which EZX to buy for a particular beat?

[Joyce Sampson]

Dear Toontrack Pre-Sales,

I have EZ Drummer 2, including the basic sounds that came with it, and I also have the Funk (Funky Jabo, etc) and Nashville expansion kits. I have used Tap to Find to try to find what is a pretty basic beat and the comparisons I’m getting are nowhere near the fit (ie, I”m only hitting at about a 40% compatibility). The beat I’m looking for is very close to the Intro to Radiohead’s High and Dry (see link below). It’s not surprising that beat is not in the two EZX’s I have, but I’m a little surprised it’s not in the ones that came with EZ Drummer 2 (which include some modern, and Pop song beats, kits, etc). So, if you could let me know which EZ X has a beat like that, I would appreciate it, as I’d like to have it so I can use the song creator function on it.

Hi Juicy, thanks for trying but that just takes me to the homepage for Superior Drummer 3 – I can’t seem to download the 4bar loop you sent. But thanks for trying to help a Sistuh out. Most recorded bass player in world = Carol Kay. 🙂

Hi Scott,

I tried your solution by opening EZ as a stand alone; my tab for that is showing on the right side, but clicked on it, and it’s been spinning around like a washing machine in “checking for update mode” for about 20 minutes. How long should it take to do that before that is actually turned on or be in the on position so it can look? Still showing about 40% results. This is a pretty common beat. Regards and thank you again.

Well thats pretty slack of TT to get all scared of me putting 1 loop to help out. I can assure everyone that the loop was a simple Midifile when added by me , how it could just end up a page pointer is very disappointing, must be not allowed.

Thank you Juicy, and BTW, the second time you posted it, I was able to get the actual loop you created and it opened in my Logic Pro as a piano groove. Nice one.
Thanks for the help – I use this stuff so infrequently that I forget some things and don’t know how to do many. Wish I had more time. I did create a drum track for my song. But I like drum grooves that have anticipated beats–a little funk in my rock, and there not so easy to find. Turning the quantize feature off helps, but that Midi pack I just bought (Songwriter Grooves) has some kickin’ stuff in it.

A little roll n your rock.
shame it came up as a piano but easy to pull over to your drum track or whatever.
Main thing is your sorted.
