    Hi Michael,

    seems like you found a naming bug for us.

    Here’s what it should be, if I’m not mistaken:

    22″ GMS Felt Beater = 18×22 GMS felt beater
    22″ GMS Plastic Beater = 18×22 GMS plastic beater
    22″ GMS Open Kick = 14×24 GMS double headed coated.
    22″ GMS2 Felt Beater = 14×24 GMS felt beater
    22″ GMS2 Plastic Beater 14×24 GMS plastic beater.

    Okay. Thanks for your reply. But what shall i do now?
    I’ve purchased EZdrummer about 10 days ago, received the upgrade from EZdrummer lite, downloaded and installed it yesterday and liked to hear some different Kick Drum sounds.
    But now there are only two: one Open Kick sound and one “don’t know” sound.
    Maybe Felt Beater, Plastic Beater, 22″ or 24″. I don’t know. All four sound identically.
    So can you give me a hint what to do?

    What do you mean by ‘can you give me a hint what to do’?

    There are 3 kicks to choose from: 18×22 GMS, 14×24 GMS double headed, and a 14×24 GMS (the ones that say ‘GMS2’ in the menu). You pick the kick drum that sound the best for the song you’re working on.

    Additionally the sound of the Kick drum in the EZdrummer demo1 for example is a lot bigger than in the software. (richness, bass)

    It sounds like that demo isn’t using the hardest velocity level on the kick. Back off your kick velocities and the tone will be more ’round’ sounding.

    Yep, on the hardest velocity the 22″ and 24″ does sound a bit similar, I can agree with that. But as Scott said, backing a bit on the velocity opens up the 24″ quite nice.
