Great sounds from Futureman!

With the Jazz EZX, you can tap into the sound and abilities of drum and percussion virtuoso Roy "Futureman" Wooten. Futureman is widely known as the percussive force behind Bela Fleck and the Flecktones among others, and his innovative drumming crests well beyond simply keeping time. The recordings for the Jazz EZX were handled at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, and raises the bar for sound quality in sampled libraries. Roy Wooten has a unique approach to providing grooving beats, and Jazz EZX gives your tracks a touch of this magic. Highly recommended by Sweetwater!

Note: This expansion pack requires a separate installation of Toontrack EZdrummer or Superior Drummer. For more information, call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.

Real Jazz!

To sum up this EZX - extremely well sampled kits with plenty of extra articulations that are essential to authentic jazz drumming. This is also one of only 3 EZXs that I'm aware of to have extensive dedicated brush swirl & drag articulations (the other 2 being Big Band & Custom Shop).
The drums chosen for this EZX aren't plentiful but work perfectly for this genre. Besides the drums, the real magic is in the huge collection of included MIDI files. Unlike other EZXs, the grooves aren't in song part order; they're organized by instrument type sampled with sticks, improvisational jams, and parts sampled with brushes. The brush grooves are impressively detailed with plenty of swirls & drags, and they also work great with the Big Band & Custom Shop EZX brush samples. If you find need for additional jazz grooves, the Basic Jazz, Roots, & Jazz MIDI packs sound great with this EZX.
The drum samples & MIDI files from Jazz EZX have been very useful for many projects and I highly recommend it.

Excellent sounds for a variety of music

Like all of the EZXs, the samples are uniformly fantastic and work great with the EZDrummer's sound engine. You'd have to put some work in to perfectly mimic a live performer for jazz but even with the quick-compose tools you can get pretty close. Good variety in the included MIDI (not always the case in some EZXs) and there are three available separate MIDI packs with a jazz focus that expand it.

A couple of reviews mentioned lacking a sizzle cymbal; the Americana EZX has a 19" Zildjian Armand “Beautiful Baby" Sizzle Ride that sounds great. The other drums in that EZX go very well with the jazz MIDI.

I just spent most of a day on the Toontrack website compiling a spreadsheet matrix of every EZX sample and kit combo to plan out my next buy and avoid duplicating (good news, out of over 1650 samples Toontrack only reused about 70 pieces among their whole EZX range).

There is an 18" Pearl Reference kick included in the Jazz EZX, but none of the EZXs have a Gretsch Catalina or any kind of Flat ride (my best drummer 25 years ago had one I loved and have been chasing a digital version of).

Actually sounds like a real drummer

You can't beat this in terms of bang for your buck. I got this as my first expansion after purchasing EZ Drummer, and I was blown away in terms of sample sound quality and the included midi library. I remember my friends commenting how my drums no longer sounded like a drum machine. The original EZ Drummer midi files were too bland and just didn't have the subtle variations that a real drummer would have even after humanizing, etc. That's not the case here. It's so easy to get up and running on a new song, and the mixer presets for this expansion are very useful. Useful for more than just jazz. If you play coffee-shop style pop/rock/jazz you will find this invaluable!

Way better than the original

I thought the original EZ Drummer samples and grooves were good, but I was blown away by the Jazz EZX expansion. The samples are so much better and have a lot more variation in response to the MIDI note velocities.
And the grooves are just simply outstanding! They've got a nice realistic quality that makes it sound less like a high-quality drum machine and more like a real drummer. The grooves are organized a bit differently than I was used to in the original - with similar/complimentary beats grouped into songs.

There's a reason so many Toontrack products begin with "EZ" - they really do make music creation easy. If you're like many of the songwriters here at Sweetwater, then you know how important it is to stay in the groove, especially if you're adding elements to your tracks that are a bit out of your wheelhouse. Toontrack products such as EZdrummer and EZkeys cover backing tracks in all kinds of styles, so you don't need to find session players to create songs, while EZmix lets you add polish to your tracks without being a pro engineer. There are tons of expansions to flesh out your palette, and software such as Superior Drummer if you want to dive in deeper. And thanks to our amazing relationship with Toontrack, the Sweetwater staff gets to use it all, so you can always get the inside story from your Sales Engineer.
