Shuffle grooves for EZdrummer 3?

[Lasse Aa]

I have:

• EZdrummer 1 Pop/Rock library
• EZdrummer 3 Percussion library
• Shuffled Backbeats MIDI add-on pack
• EZX Latin percussion

Q 1: Where can I find 12/8 Shuffle grooves (MIDI) in my libraries or elsewhere? Here is a link to this groove in a youtube-video:

Q 2: The second groove (2/6) in the ‘Shuffled Backbeats’ demo, se link below, is interesting, but I cannot find this groove in the add-on pack. Is this groove available in the Shuffled Backbeats add-on? Which ‘Name’ and ‘Family’? Perhaps you know other locations where this groove can be found?

Q 3: Where can I find ‘halftime shuffle’ drum grooves (MIDI) in my libraries or elsewhere? Here a link to this groove in a youtube-video:

Q2 is the easiest to answer: the song you are looking for in the Shuffled Backbeats pack is called “Sisters”. You probably didn’t find it because you were previewing it at the wrong tempo.

To locate the other grooves that you are looking for you can either use tap to find or search halftime shuffle grooves using the filters in the groove tab. You can also activate the web shop midi to find anything that you don’t have. Many of the grooves that you were looking for are not necessarily 12/8. Some of them are 4/4.

Hi Jordan. You are right. I did not adjust the tempo. After reducing tempo to 61 bpm, I found several tracks in Shuffled Backbeats with the right groove. Thanks a lot for the tip!

Now, I just tried the bandmate option and imported the mp3-file from youtube-clip in my Q 1. Bandmate did not produce according to my wish. So please suggest how I can find  tracks similar to this specific groove (Q1 groove). Which search values or filter settings would you recommend? I guess this beat is pretty standard. So can I hope to find this beat in my Shuffled Backbeats MIDI add-on pack or in my EZdrummer 1 Pop/Rock library?

I have not found tools in EZdrummer3 which enables easy convertion of drum loops from mp3 to MIDI. Does the application have this option? If no, please suggest other options.

Glad that helped. As far as the search filters go, use something like this:

As well, just in case you weren’t aware, you can preview the grooves in the original tempo by clicking the button as indicated by the arrow in the screenshot. This way you don’t have to keep changing the tempo to match the grooves.

The reason bandmate didn’t work the way you expected it was because it is not meant for turning an audio of a drum groove into midi. This functionality is a part of Superior Drummer 3 known as Tracker. Bandmate is more for taking a recorded instrument such as guitar or bass, or midi instruments, and matching a drum groove with it. Tap 2 Find is more the feature you would be look for. Between that, and the search filters you should be able to find you are looking for both in your system, and in the web shop if you have it activated.
