EZ Drummer / Superior Drummer 2.0 Add on Drumkit Modules 10 Attachment(s) Following on from our Superior Drummer 2.0 review here on Altsounds we have decided to do a group review of all the add on drum kit modules that we have used to showcase the best ones out there to be getting and why you should be getting them. There is everything from Nashville country influenced drums to drums by Meshuggah found here and if you're on a budget choosing the right drumkit for the jo is important. This is where we come in! Let us guide you through each drumkit and highlight it's strengths and where you should be using it. The EZX expansion packs are currently Buy 1 Get 1 Free from our friends at Time & Space until 31st August. To check out this great offer go here: Buy 1 Toontrack EZX expansion pack get 1 free! - News - Time+Space | Virtual Instruments, Sample CDs, DVDs, Hardware and Software TOONTRACK TWISTED KIT EZX EXPANSION  Twisted Kit for EZ Drummer is a collaboration between Michael Blair, Sontronics Microphones and Toontrack (the makers of EZ Drummer). For anyone familiar with the percussion and drum sounds of Tom Waits 1985 album 'Rain Dogs' will be fully aware of the sounds and playing sound of Michael Blair. On that album Micahel Blair's setup included a full kit and then some crazy percussion instruments like trashcans and rusty bike frames which Waits felt fitted in perfectly wit the sound he was trying to acheive on that album. Michael Blair has also worked with Elvis Costello and Lou Reed. This is called the twisted kit because of all these factors and you really can setup some pretty crazy drum setups here which I would hazard a guess that you can't find elsewhere.  Twisted Kit EZX special features
TOONTRACK LATIN PERCUSSION EZX EXPANSION  If you already own the award winning pro drum sampler dfh Superior by Toontrack then you probably won't want to be buying this drumkit addition because it is simply all the latin percussion from that put on to a disk. Granted that the sounds have been mixed further at the EZX studios and it also includes some cool grooves which don't come with dfh Superior however as previously mentioned if you own a dfh Superior then this add-on will likely not be for you. If you don't however and you are look for latin percussion instruments such as Cajons, Bongos and Shakers then this might be worth th investment.  Instrument List:
BUY NOW LINK TOONTRACK DFH (DRUMKIT FROM HELL) EZX EXPANSION  Drumkit from Hell is a great name for an addon drum pack as you instantly know that this is a drum pack add on designed with the metal drummer in mind. This drumkit addon comes courtesy of their friends Tomas Haake and Fredrik Thordendal from Meshuggah and Daniel Bergstrand from Dug-Out studios. This add-on i so importan in fact that it actually sparked the release of both EZ Drummer and Superior Drummer so in technicality without this drum addon, you wouldn't have the drum sampler you needed the kit for! Kind of messed up but it proves the importance of this must have additional drumkit. DFH these days comes with both the original DFH release and the Add-On pack that was released subsequently. All the sounds have been re-mixed and they´ve added custom midifiles from the diabolically gifted musician and guitar player of Meshuggah, Fredrik Thordendal plus midi played by one of the other great Metal Drummers we know, Ove Lingvall from Nocturnal Rites. Metal at its best.  Instrument List:
 Nashville is ernowned worldwide for it's country music. With this drumkit add-on, toontrack have tried to embody this drumsound into this drumkit addon.

BUY NOW LINK TOONTRACK CLAUSTROPHOBIC EZX EXPANSION  This add on is another collaboration between Toontrack and Sontronics Microphones this time also working with Evans drum heads. This kit leads the marketplace in percussive samples. In this edition you can even choose drumheads so this Clautrophobic Kit takes the detailof the EZX drumkits to even more geek filled haven. The Claustrophobic EZX was sampled through the very best of outboard with distortion, reverb, compression and attack effects included in the internal mixer.

The Bottom Line All in all I am sure you will agree that the addition of such vast drumkits for use with both EZ Drummer and Superior Drummer make both a must buy for hi-quality MIDI drum sampling. We have experimented with all of these kits and were blown away with the amount of different instruments and sounds each one had. A must buy for all producers looking to better their drum production without the years of pactice and experience needed to perfect acoustic drum recording and micing techniques. |
Re: EZ Drummer / Superior Drummer 2.0 Add on Drumkit Modules i bought this software about a year ago last april, and i never looked back! I got sick of the 'False' sounding midi drums that you can pick up anywhere, the fact that they give you complete control over everything from skins, stick and beater type is awesome! Plus they gave sent The drunk kits form hell Add-on free of charge to get started, unreal! Great review! Very in depth. Never even knew they released the Claustrophobic Kit add-on pack, Looks sick!! |
Re: EZ Drummer / Superior Drummer 2.0 Add on Drumkit Modules Drumkit from Hell is awesome if you are looking for some nice Metal sounding drums. One ting most people miss on the disk is all the included MIDI grooves by the drummers and that you can also access each sample as WAV files to be used in other things like reason. |
Re: EZ Drummer / Superior Drummer 2.0 Add on Drumkit Modules yeah MIDI Groves are cool cos you can go in an tweek them as you feel fit taking notes out and adding them, That was prob one of my fav things about it cos when i first had it, Programing MIDI drums wasnt my strong point, so i learned alot from it i guess |
