Amazing Classic Grooves!

Note: This product requires EZdrummer version 1.3 or a Superior Drummer 2.3 or above.





Looking for classic grooves for your tunes? Check out The Classic EZX Drum Expansion Library for EZdrummer. Purpose built for one of the most popular drum programs ever made, EZdrummer, The Classic EZX puts the sound of two amazing studio drummers in your EZdrummer rig, Peter Fredlander and Chris Whitten. In addition to using some of the best Yamaha, Noble & Cooley, and Craviotto drum kits available, the crew behind The Classic EZX used a genuine Helios console, known for its incredibly dynamic sound. Even better, they used a classic 4-mic recording technique, which treats the kits as a whole as an instrument. If you want truly musical drums, you want this expansion!

Classic EZX from EZDrummer is awesome!

Classic EZX from EZDrummer is awesome! I've had it for a few months now and I use it everyday. I've used it with a few DAWs like GarageBand, Studio One, Reaper and others. It works great with all of t... read more [+]hem. It's easy to use and it sounds great. I like to use it in multi-track mode which allows me to add compression and EQ to the the kick, toms and snare. I hope to get a few more add-on kits in the future. close [-]

AWESOME Drum Solution

by Marty from Dallas, TX

I was needing a really good drum solution for my DAW for quite awhile and in my search found EZ Drummer by Toontrack. I’ve used it now for about two years and have added expansion packs with differen... read more [+]t drum sounds and styles as my budget permits.

However with CLASSIC EZX expansion pack I get not just the ease of use EZ Drummer is known for, but also the incredible sonic quality of a “close mic” configuration as well as the “four mic” configuration made famous by Glynn Johns (don’t get me started on his brilliance).

For songwriters looking for an easy to use drum solution to the experienced sound engineer (I guess I’m somewhere in the middle) ANYTHING by Toontrack is the way to go. Ease of use, great sonic quality, and ready to use VST’s make this a product well worth the money. On a 1-10 scale of ‘bang for buck’ I would rate this #10 Best in Class!!! close [-]

The Drum Sound You Truly Need is HERE!

This is it! The uncomplicated Glyn Johns 4mic recording method WITH bonus ambient stereo mics (i.e. wet reverb) allows for fast and effective process from MEGATONS of New York Studio recorded drum loo... read more [+]ps to mono WAV tracks for each mic (keep ambient stereo). Then individual pan, compression and EQ for Kick, Snare, Overhead, TOM and Room tracks. Voila, you can concentrate on MAKING MUSIC in mere minutes with something that does not sound MIDI download. Youtube has many good instructional vids how to get the best out this EZDrummer Classic Extension. What really helped my drumline creation process was getting also Toontrack's EZPlayer that allowed me to QUICKLY compile different arrangements with accelerating velocity and unique transposing on the fly! You can then just drag and drop the tracks on your DAW of choice (Presonus Studio One). close [-]

Although I have all the EZXs and SDXs, I find myself using The Classics EZX for most things I do. It doesn't have those shrill higher pitched snares you find in today's music. This EZX is the drum lib... read more [+]rary you are constantly searching for when you can't find "that sound" in the other libraries. It comes in 2 configurations - 4 Mic setup and complete Mic setup... both of which bring new dimensions to your tracks. I just wish they would have made an SDX out of it! close [-]

Toontrack Classic EZX

I used to play with an awesome drummer who had a set of Yamaha Recording Customs, and they sounded great. This Expansion library brought all those memories floating back. If you want to get that retro... read more [+] Toto, GRP, 80's and 90's Weckl sound.... just load this up and instant Yamaha sound.

One step better, you can start to tweak them with more current styles of compression and reverb and get reall punchy sounds that fit in great to a modern mix.

Really good stuff.

The 4 mic mix is a great find too, just the right balance between control and ease of use.
Just excellent! close [-]
