You can copy and/or cut the midi for the snare or any other kit piece and put it on it's own track and use a sample from wherever to replace and/or mix with EZ. You can't tune the drums from within EZ but, if you really want, you can apply different methods to replace/tune a piece of any kit however, you'll have the same problem/serendipitous find with any: whatever kit piece you replace won't be in the room or overhead mics. So, while a kit being tuned to itself is good, being tuned to a particular key to fit a particular song is even better IME. For example, sometimes I like my kick to be a 3rd from the tonic, or I may prefer it to be the root….same with the snare…it can be the tonic, the 3rd the 4th, or the 5th…just depending on the song and it’s progression. That continuous resonation throughout the duration of a song is noticeable to me and many others as well. It’s true that drum sounds decay very quickly, but they still resonate at respective frequencies.

you wouldn’t want to play any one of those instruments out of tune to the key you’re performing or recording in. Think about it like this: Each drum is an instrument unto itself, and just like a guitar, keyboard, bass, etc.

To my ears it provides harmonic cohesion. Heck, if I could afford it I’d own a hundred plus cymbals for the same reason. I like having my snares, kick, and toms resonate at relative pitches to the song. Of course, it’s subjective, but I’ve been playing acoustic kits for years and learned to tune them along the way. I suppose for the same reason a lot of things matter to an individual, such as levels of compression, velocity settings, etc. If the kit is tuned to itself (which it is in ez drummer).then why does this matter? Ok.so here is the question.remember Ima knob.
