You experienced a little of what Toontrack EZdrummer can do with your Lite version, but now's the time to upgrade and benefit from all the full features of this sample-based drum software syntheizer. EZdrummer was designed to give you optimum sound quality on your drum samples presented in a compact, affordable plug-in format that's as easy to use as it is to mix. With Toontrack's EZdrummer, you can simply drag-and-drop audition sounds and construct drum kits recorded with multi-microphone setups. You also get a mixer that allows stereo and multitrack routing into the host via a single plug-in and has presets for quick mix modes quick sound changing. With the second-generation Toontrack Percussive Compression (TPC), system requirements are low, meaning this is a very accessible virtual drum set worthy of high-end studios, but available for computer-based home recording studios too.

This drum sampler features the recording and producing expertise of Pat Thrall (Pat Travers, Black Crowes) and Neil Dorfsman (Dire Straits, Paul McCartney), the drumming skills of Nir Z (Genesis, Joss Stone, John Mayer), and the engineering help of Toontrack's own Mattias Eklund and Henrik Kjellberg. Their combined efforts have produced an extensive collection of more than 8000 MIDI files captured at Avatar Studios, a 50-year old venue that has been the place where a veritable who's who of award-winning musicians have bottled their magic.

EZdrummer is now Windows Vista compatible. Updates are available at toontrack.com
