Toontrack has announced the release of a new expansion for EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 by engineer, producer and mixer Hill Kourkoutis and drummer Skye Polson.
Ideal for anything from rootsy beats to pocket-driven, edgy pop, the Alchemy of Pop EZX fuses timeless vintage charm with cutting edge electronic sound design.
The Alchemy of Pop EZX was recorded by JUNO Award-winning engineer/producer/mixer Hill Kourkoutis and sampled by drummer Skye Polson (Digging Roots) at the renowned Canterbury Music Company in Toronto, ON. Featuring four kits, each representing its own niche or style, as well as a broad collection of organic and electronic shakers, stomps, claps, snaps and effects curated to fit each drum set, this is an EZX that bridges the gap between several sound ideals and provides a canopy of kits covering the entire range from raw, rich, dark, earthy and open to muffled, tight and snappy.
In addition to using classic drumsticks, one kit was recorded with brushes, one with mallets and in two, the drums were extensively muffled using towels. This all combined gives you a unique palette of colorful kits for just as much the intimately acoustic as the hard-hittingly edgy.
Alchemy of Pop EZX is available to purchase for 89 USD/EUR at Toontrack and from Best Service.
