EZ and Garage band : problem with the percussions

[Phenix 2]

hi
EZ drummer 1 does not recognize all the percussions like tambourin clap or shaker
so, when you program/add this with G Band , EZ drummer adds some crash cymbals or others

and i just wanted to keep the sound of the percussions

which EZ drummer software keeps the percussions of g band ?

Hi,

there is no EZdrummer EZX that both have GM compatible drum sounds AND percussion.
The Percussion oriented EZX is the Latin Percussion EZX.
You can run an instance with percussion and one instance with drums and split the MIDI between them.

Hi,

GM stands for ‘General MIDI’ and it’s an old standard from the early 90’s which specifies certain things like patches and note numbers for tonal and percussive sounds in GM compatible hardware and software.
Toontrack drum expansions are GM extended, which means they are compatible with GM for the drum parts but utilizes the percussion range to extend the articulation seems available for the drum sounds. To simplify it.
If percussion parts would be included for GM in the libraries, it would limit them severely.
