HelloI am very interested in this topic.

I bought EZDrummer 2 years ago, but only worked in MacOs with it.

Not I changed my system to Ubuntu Studio.

I already managed it to use Kontakt 6 from Native Instruments with the help of Wine and yabridge.

Unfortunately, when I try to install EZDrummer, I get the following error message:

0518:err:process:exec_process L"Z:\\home\\marlon\\Downloads\\EZDrummer\\EZdrummer_WIN_218\\EZdrummer 64-bit.msi" not supported on this system

I also tried the 32-bit version, but it cannot be the problem, because I have a 64 bit system.

Does somebody know how to handle this?

Or should I install wine-staging?

yeah, just do your homework.

...

Read the license of your sample library, then install sample robot or sampleit or I dont know how these samplewrobots are called.

This way you can get your sample library and or any hardware synth into your Linux DAW and use them as sfz.

No need for wine then anymore.

good luck

It is you who needs to do homework. I haven't ever used EZdrummer, but point in that is not plain drum sound library, but UI and features whick help you to make drum track easy way. And using drum sampled with SFZ, is it possible to have choke-feature with sfz?

This was just for the fun, now comes the pain:

oooh, who could have thought that dependency are not something linux special - all software need some prerequisites - even under hyper windows special vip operating systems.

Next time you are running into trouble on a wine session, install the C++ redistributables.

Or do it like the fart man, ooh, sorry, I meant do it like the smart man, the smart!

The funny thing is. On my other Ubuntu System I managed it with EZDrummer. Using wine-stable. Unfortunately I installed all the other things on my new System with just wine (installed from the GUI). Would be a big thing to remove wine, install wine-staging, install then EZDrummer and hope that all other plugins will install just the same way they did in the past.

Sorry for not doing "homework". Since 2 weeks a do a lot of homework i my opinion. Sitting the whole day in my room to manage it, making Linux a comfortable system for audio and video productions. Yeah, I know... somehow it sounds utopic...

Unbelievable!

I looked at my Desktop - there where the executable Files of EZDrummer!

Although the shell crashed with errors while doing wine EZDrummer.

I just did the yabridge thing and successfully started EZDrummer in Reaper!

I switched on my E-drum and played some groove Jazz Rock with Ghost Notes.

No latency at all, nice clear sound. No problem! I am really surprised!

I think it's time for a TimeShift Backup now. And after this: Time for Symphonic Jazz Rock with EZDrummer and East West Quantum Leap Orchestral Bundle!

Thanks for the help, if there are questions, just let me know!

I'm needing some well,...slamming acoustic drums for a track i'm working on and recently watched a Drum Library shootout comparison. This video featured Groove Agent, Hertz Drums, Superior Drummer, Steven Slay Drums (SSD5), Addictive Drums and more.

Logic's "Drummer" consists of two parts - the "Drummer" automatic tool for creating drum parts on the fly, and the instrument that Drummer plays, which is Logic's Drum Kit Designer. I think what you're asking is how does Logic's Drum Kit Designer instrument and drum kits/samples within it compare to other drum libraries, and I'd say it compares fairly well for a range of good sounding kits with a decent level of detail, and without being over-complex.

I use them a fair bit, and I also use other libraries too - it's good to have a range of kits and sound available. I'd say I mostly like only a few of Logic's kits, with SoCal being one of the ones I like a lot, but this is a taste thing about the aesthetics of your tastes and music styles.

There's nothing wrong with Logic's kits, which were apparently recorded by some well-regarded names in the industry for Apple. When random guy says "no good" he probably means "not to my taste" - people rarely seem to take the time and effort to express themselves adequately on the internet, alas...

Indeed. It's too bad they won't release the names of the actual drummers they flew to Cupertino to develop Drummer and the instruments it plays (Drum Kit Designer and Drum Machine Designer for electronic drums). They are some of the most in demand drummers in the industry.

I very much like Logic's "Drummer" both for its realism and for its convenience. It will automatically produce a realistic-to-me varying pattern of fills and embellishments, very much as a real human drummer might do.

I agree. I have only just recently switched to Logic but have dabbled in ezdrummer for drums previously in other DAWs. I really find that with drummer in Logic (or GarageBand) I can get something dialed in and fleshed out through an entire song much more easily than I can with ezdrummer and a library of midi patterns. However, with additional ezdrummer EZX add-ons I have a much deeper palette of drum sounds to draw from.

I don't believe you did! I think the first part to really understand is what des99 said, that "Drummer" is Logic's virtual drummer. Like its counterpart, a real human drummer, "Drummer" can come up with patterns, fills, play harder or softer, busier or more minimal grooves etc...

But then the final drum sound you get also depends on the drum kit the drummer is playing, the way it's mic'ed, engineered, mixed etc. And "Drummer" in itself doesn't have anything to do with that. By default, "Drummer" comes with some of the standard Logic drumkits, which you may or may not like, but really it can play any drum kit you want. Feel free to use a 3rd party drum sample library, your own samples, synthesized sounds, whatever you want. It just produces a MIDI signal that can trigger any MIDI instrument.

It's basically like if you had a "Keyboard" feature that was generating keyboard riffs, melodies and grooves as MIDI sequences, and then you could route those to your favorite outboard MIDI expanders or synthesizers or sampler from the 80s, or built-in software instruments, or Vienna Ensemble Pro hosting orchestral libraries, or whatever you'd like.

Logic's drummer is extremely good for what it does, considering it comes free. I think Apple could have made it a separate package and charged extra, but I'm glad they didn't. Besides, Kyle, Logan and Anders are really nice guys, and as session players go they are very cheap!

I have EZDrummer 3 and I use both this and Logic's Drummer in equal proportion. And as to the guy who said their acoustic kits are no good, each to their own but every single Logic user that I know won't have a bad word said against it.

You can use your digital piano as a MIDI controller, allowing you to play in notes as you would a piano piece, and have your computer output this as other instruments (such as a drum kit) via the use of a VSTi.

If you only wish to use a few samples for different sounding drums, you can just work on a single computer or laptop and will not need a lot of RAM to do so (at least 16GB is recommended but 8GB will suffice for less intensive usage).
