If you've got an idea for a groove in your head, then it can often be a real pain to find a loop that fits the bill. However, with EZdrummer 2, this isn't a problem! Simply tap in your groove idea using a connected MIDI controller or mouse and the software will return results of loops in your library that most closely match what you played! Each EZdrummer 2 loop is also tagged, allowing you to search for loops by genre, signature, style and more!

EZdrummer 2 makes it extremely simple to create a full drum track, consisting of an introduction, verses, pre-choruses, choruses, bridges, fills and an outro. Simply drag and drop your chosen loops to the built-in Song Creator and edit MIDI parts until you've got the perfect groove; you can even re-quantize existing loops to different grids. Once completed, simply drag-and-drop to your host software, export the loop as an audio or MIDI file or save it as a template.

You can quickly change the power hand, alter the velocity of each part, adjust how specific drums are played and even how many times each drum is hit, all with unrivalled speed and ease.
