Toontrack Vintage Rock Brushes and Sticks EZX Sample Library Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At first listen, this might sound dry, almost dead. But that's what real drums sound like before they have the life processed into them (or out of them). In reality, this kit falls into most mixes brilliantly right out of the box. Most "kick-butt" sounding drum sounds in these programs can't fit into a mix no matter what you do. They have too much personality of their own and just won't blend. This Vintage EZX is exactly the opposite. You can do whatever you want to them, and make them as specific as you want. On the other hand, you can leave them alone and use them as is and they sound brilliant. Other programs like BFD which give you dry, unprocessed sounds sound horrible in a mix, and give you no choice but to work on them to make them usable. This Vintage EZX is somehow the perfect blend of everything you could want. I'd like to have seen more variety of kit pieces in this, but in some ways the simplicity of it makes it very easy to use, and a total pleasure.

Toontrack EZX Claustrophobic Drum Sample Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is probably the most modern collection of drums that ToonTrack offers, and it's fantastic. For more pop, hip-hop, and urban-oriented music, this is definitely the kit to go with if you own EZ-Drummer. The best way I can describe this drum collection is to take the types of drums you hear in hip-hop drum machines and electronic music and reverse the process to make THEM sound like the real ones they're trying to emulate. I know, it's not an easy concept to wrap your head around, but trust me when I say you'll love the results. Also, unlike the previous expansion packs, there are almost double the amount of drum types available, LOTS of percussion (claps, snaps, foot stomps, shakers, tambourines, etc.), and a handful of effects (distortion, heavy reverbs). This could very well be the best expansion pack available from ToonTrack and it's well worth the money.

Toontrack Jazz EZX Expansion Pack for EZdrummer Sample Library Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes, there are things that sampled drums can't do that a real drummer, especially a jazz drummer, can with his eyes closed. But the gap is closing thanks to this sample set. It's frightening how real these drums sound. Then again with Futureman involved in this project, I expected nothing less than something stunning. Toontrack delivered in a big way. These drums sound phenomenal and there are an ungodly amount of samples and drumming techniques involved. The quality is crystal clear as well.
This product was on sale for $39, which was more than 50% off. Even at full price, it's worth every penny.
Phenomenal.
