If you are intending on connecting your drums to Ableton, and want a realistic\lifelike performance, EZD3 (or any other nice VST) will be superior to Ableton's built-in sounds and or racks. In Ableton, you get closed and open sounds, but not a full spectrum of closed to open. If it is a MIDI In re-mapping we’re talking about, go to the MIDI In/E-drums Settings and find the re-mapped note/articulation and set it to it’s normal value, e.g. EZD3 also handles hi-hat articulation the way an acoustic drummer would expect. If so, just expand the MIDI Mapping Property Box on the Drums page and select the instrument in question, then right-click the note number and ‘Remove’. Also, a lot of really nice room ambience is built-in (totally mixable). Each instrument in EZD3 is comprised of many samples, each of which will trigger depending on velocity and other performance factors. The Ableton sounds are generally a one-shot that can be triggered at different volumes, so you don't get a lifelike performance when you are triggering them. There are some nice acoustic drum sounds in the Ableton package, but they don't include the level of articulation included in EZD3. The EZD3 sounds are far superior in terms of recreating your performance with lifelike sounds. The vast majority of drum sounds included in the Ableton are geared more towards electronic or breakbeat style production - lots of great sounds, but intended for a different application.
