Toontrack has announced the release of a new expansion for EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 by acclaimed producer, mixer and engineer Jay Ruston (Stone Sour, Anthrax, The Donnas) and session drummer Jeff Friedl (A Perfect Circle, Devo, Filter).

Specifically tailored for heavy rock productions, the Heavy Rock EZX brings the sounds of hard-hitting drums that you can trust to hold down the rhythm section in any mix scenario.

In total, it includes four unique kits, one extra recorded kit configuration as well as several additional snares – all handpicked to ensure a width of tones that ranges from the rich, dark and boomy to the ringy, tight and snappy. To add, the kits were captured at a private high-end studio in the Los Angeles area boasting a massive-sounding but still not overpowering room, making it the perfect choice for loud rock drums that sound thunderously big but not drowned out by excessive ambience.

In addition to the sounds, a broad selection of mix-ready presets engineered by Ruston as well as a basic collection of grooves and fills performed by Friedl are included.

The EZX is available to purchase for 89 USD/EUR at the Toontrack store and from Best Service.
