Can I use the keyboard on my laptop to “play” the drums on screen while recording?

This can be done if you use EZdrummer 2 in a host that has support for using the computer keyboard as a MIDI keyboard (I know that Logic has this feature, check the manual for your host software).

If you want to search for complex patterns you can either slow down the tempo in Tap2Find by turning down the Tempo knob (found on the bottom left side of the window in Tap2Find), or you can manually place all the MIDI notes in your host’s piano roll, then use that MIDI in Tap2Find (drag it to the area beneath the Tap2Find button).

Good luck and come back here if you can’t get my advices to work

Yes, EZdrummer (both 1 and 2) comes with a Audio Unit installer (which Logic is using).

What do you mean with “use the piano roll in logic to map out my drums”? You can insert MIDI notes manually in the piano roll and EZdrummer (1 and 2) will play them (if that’s what you mean)

If you have a sound card with a MIDI input that should be enough since e-drums comes with a MIDI output (double check to be sure though). If not, there’s probably an USB connection which (in practical) works in the same way as a MIDI cable – you install the drivers/software that comes with the e-kit and plug it in to your computer’s USB port.

That is correct – EZdrummer 2 can at the moment only use Toontrack MIDI for the search results in Tap2Find.
