Muted Drums EZ Pack

[Scott Martinez]

I would like to request a new EZ Drummer module that has a kit that has MUTED drums.  You know, the ‘ol “Wallet on the snare” trick?  All of the drum modules currently have drums that all ring out, and adjusting them with parameters is inconvenient and sounds VERY artificial.

I have seen acoustic bands cover drums with towels, for instance, and it makes them sound more like bongos.  This is EXTREMELY creative and USEFUL!

Heavy music requires a tighter sound, and as a studio engineer, I have spent much time getting drums like this to sound better in a mix – a lot of the time by controlling the amount of ring the struck drum is giving.

I, for one,would definitely buy an entire separate module.  Perhaps it could be everything from a small jazz kit, to a very large kit used for metal – because Metal in general benefits from tighter drums.

Anyway, I think you get it.  PLEASE!!!

You might want to give the UK Pop EZX a listen. Tea towel kit in that one.

OK yeah, that’s great.  But what I’m saying is, it would be nice to have an entire module that is focused on this throughout.  I think you will be surprised at how popular it is.  It is one of the biggest complaints I hear from most people I talk to about using “computer-generated” drums.

So yes, more of that please.  Just having that one setting on that one kit isn’t enough to get me to buy that entire module.  $89 for one setting is a bit steep, because the rest of the kit, I personally wouldn’t have any use for.

Somebody just told me BFD has a DAMPING function and you can also adjust resonance.  THIS is what EZ Drummer needs!

“Sticks, mallets, regular and towel-damped samples available for select kits”

“From the tight and deep allround tone of the main ‘UK Pop’ preset to the intimate and dampened Beatles-esque ‘Tea Towels,’ the rowdy ‘Carnaby Street’ that hints of T-rex, or the tight and snappy breakbeat-inspired ‘Bristol Eyes,’ the UK Pop EZX covers a broad facet of the British pop wonder.”

Not really sure why you’re posting that.  I went to that page and read everything and listened to the samples.

What I’m asking for is a module dedicated to more dampened sounds throughout.  That kit is very limited, and you really couldn’t use it for Metal.

OR, add a feature like I mentioned above, that BFD has where you’re able to adjust it as part of the program itself.  I don’t even think Superior Drummer has that ability.
