Comparing SpecsĮZ Drummer 3 contains seven kits, as well as twenty-four snares, fourteen kicks, and thirty-three cymbals of different kinds. With this in mind, you probably see why it might be over-simplistic to assume that one is wholly for pros and one is only for hobbyists. Superior Drummer 3 is the mother ship, which exists to fulfill the needs of even the most demanding professional. Swedish company Toontrack consistently releases great production software, and their recent drum libraries are no exception.ĮZDrummer 3 sits at a much lower price point and boils down the essentials into one light memory package. If you’re good to go, grab a coffee, and we’ll jump in. This is a comparison between the two, and, to save on repetition, I’ll skip over some finer details discussed in the previous reviews. If you haven’t looked at the previous reviews of Superior Drummer 3 and EZDrummer 3, I recommend it.

It’s probably best to spend some time considering the pros and cons of each library to see which one hits the sweet spot for you. Anyway, no one wants to fall into the ‘buy cheap, buy twice’ pitfall, right? If you’re anything like me, you might feel torn between a desire to save some cash and a temptation to go all-in, almost for the sake of it. It feels as though it’d be wrong to skip over this part: both libraries are fantastic-and both are a clear upgrade on their previous incarnations – but they offer different things and come in at very different price points.

If you’ve checked out our recent reviews on Toontrack’s EZDrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3, you’ll know that we’ve been building towards comparing both drum libraries. If you click and make a purchase, I get a small commission. Disclaimer: Links throughout the article may be affiliated.
