Toontrack's EZdrummer drum software uses MIDI files to trigger drum samples from the program's library. Mixing and matching MIDI files lets you create your own custom grooves and drum tracks. EZdrummer comes with a collection of more than 8,000 MIDI files. If you want to move beyond these grooves, add MIDI files that you've created to EZdrummer. You can also download expansion MIDI packs from the Toontrack website.
