Okay, I bought EZdrummer, now what? How do I use it?

[JeremyBrizzi]

I can’t seem to find any basic use tutorials that slowly walk you through all the aspects of ezdrummer, what they do, how to use them, and why.

I tried to figure it out on my own and ended up excited but more confused.

This is crazy powerful but currently, I’m useless and need training.

I have scoured Google and YouTube and everything is so specific, unrelated, or way to fast…they seem to assume everyone is a master in the system and say more in 2 seconds than I could process in 30 minutes.

Please help…I have 100’s of songs I want to work on but don’t know where to start.

EZdrummer version: 3.0.4
Operating system: Windows 11

There are some very good tutorials here; https://www.youtube.com/c/ShootieSchool/playlists

Also it may help people, help you by writing a small description of what you want to accomplish. Are you using a DAW? (If so which one?) Are using an e-drum kit? Are you using a MIDI control (keyboard device)?

One recommendation is to drag some of the pre-set patterns into a MIDI track in your DAW and examine the MIDI. See where the drum kit components are on the MIDI lines, check the intensity of the notes, etc. Explore those first. Drag a MIDI note to a different line and see what the sounds are.

Hope that helps.
