ZZ Top Type Midi?

[Billy Hell]

I’m not sure what I need. I have EZ Drummer and the Americana pack. I think I want a midi pack. I want to lay down some ZZ Top type blues rock. I’m not sure how many midi files I get per package. Are the full length drum tracks? Suggestions? I want to jam with some drums and maybe record as well. Hard driving, sparse, ZZ Top stuff.

Theres plenty of choice , perhaps the new Backbeat might be a good match.

I was thinking that. Thanks for the post!

Also, try going into the straight up rock 4/4 section of the EZDrummer included beats.

If it doesn’t hit hard enough:
1. Tweak the velocity knob up a bit on the groove screen
2. Go into the mixer and do a little tweaking. Common problem might be where the hihat sits. Adjust that accordingly. Rinse, repeat.
3. The hihat might be almost there, but not quite. You might try moving the hihat hits to a slightly more open or closed articulation.

…some easy stuff to try.

ZZTop should be fairly easy to nail with what you already have.
