To get killer sounds you have to do something more than a few tweaks, I noticed that using EQ and compression in the right way you can have great results. This is a quick loop I composed with Metal Machine loops, but using the standard kit of EZDrummer: I tried lots of solutions and finally I got something. When I started using it I remeber I was completely blown away from its easy of use but I always wondered how to get those sounds of the pros. In addition, it has been vastly used during these years as a great drum replacement plugin or directly as a drum machine even in professional studios. EZDrummer is for sure one of the most revolutionary VST instrument that have contributed to a smooth songwriting for everyone, even for drummers.
