Toontrack has announced the upcoming release of the third generation of its widely popular EZdrummer drum software.

With its compact and songwriting-friendly design, the first generation of EZdrummer set a new standard for drum samplers. Building on its ease of use but with the addition of several groundbreaking features, the second iteration, EZdrummer 2, which was released in 2014, pushed the concept further. Now with EZdrummer 3, Toontrack is again reinventing the role a drum sampler can play in a songwriting context.

“Although EZdrummer 3 is new in every sense of the word, we’ve gone out of our way to continue to build on the strengths and features that has made its earlier generations the absolute choice software for songwriters. To serve the songwriter with the best set of features for effortless creativity is still at the very heart of the new program – it’s just a whole lot smarter, more intuitive and powerful now,” comments Erik Phersson, Toontrack’s Head of Software Development.
