One thing to mention about GA – the sounds can seem a little dead but I think they’re intended to deliver good raw material rather than fully-produced drum tracks. So in a nutshell, no one particular method, but a combination of anything that works.

If I’m looking for some inspiration (especially for fills) I turn to Jamstix, and I might use the MIDI output of that with some manual edits to trigger sounds from other sources. If the starting point is an audio track, I might use drum replacement techniques and I’m currently taken by the sound of the Simon Phillips kits in GA4, or Steve Slate Drums. My favourite creative approach is manual programming but that’s the most time-consuming and a labour of love. I use a variety of techniques depending on what I have available (source material and time). I’ve contacted Applied Acoustics to see if they have a solution.Īs things stand now, IF there is a solution to the crashing problem, Strike 2 is my clear choice. That’s a deal-breaker if it isn’t resolved. Strike 2 has been causing Cubase (9.5 Artist) crashes. (I’m a plug-n-play guy, so this is important to me.) (Fortunately, the drum sets provided with the basic EZDrummer are the right ones for my current needs.)Īvailable groove selection: same order, Strike 2, EZDrummer, GA4SE.ĮZDrummer has the easiest implementation within Cubase 9.5 Artist, Strike 2 second, GA4SE again a distant third. I don’t like that you have to buy additional modules with EZDrummer and upgrade + purchase additional for GA4SE to get a broader selection. EZDrummer 2 second best, GA4SE a very distant third.

Strike 2 has the best sounding samples (to my ear) in the basic package. I understand I don’t have the experience of most others here, so these results probably won’t matter to most. I’ve been comparing Strike 2, EZDrummer 2 and GA4SE. These are my preliminary findings in low-price drum set VSTs.
