Well with EZdrummer you could make yourself a midi track, I assume you already created an instance of the program (F11). So you make a midi track and set its output to EZD.

So then you would look through the beats and drag and drop one onto the midi track. Then you could copy that and put it for as long as you want, add other beats, add fills. So basically build your drum track. Even edit the beat and add,delete, move beats around.

EZD can play on its own to see what beats sound like but you turn that off and send midi to it when you use it in your project.

So then you have to look at how your going to use the program and when and why you want to turn it into audio. You don't have to turn it into audio unless you want to or need to. You could leave it midi and just make a master audio track with everything in it or make audio separate tracks and do a two track mixdown of all audio tracks.
etc.

Two ways to change midi into audio, record it or export it. Exporting is quicker.
To record it just create an audio track then solo the ezD but unclick the record button on EZD but click just the record button on the new audio track then it will record the sound of the EZD.
Mixdown you set the locators and do audio mixdown in the file/export menu.
You have to look at how you export and what you export, lot of power/choices there.
Simple once you get used to it though.
