Classic Rock EZX

LIKE RUMBLING THUNDER.

Classic rock drum gold – the big, obnoxious and loud kind.

USD89

SKU: TT478 Categories: EZdrummer Line, EZX Sound Expansions

The Classic Rock EZX comes with two kits as well as several additional instruments and extras derived from the Legacy of Rock SDX, an expansion for Superior Drummer 3 recorded by legendary engineer/producer Eddie Kramer at AIR Studios in London, UK.

Heavily inspired by Eddie Kramer’s work with primarily Led Zeppelin, all aspects of this EZX were designed to provide the ultimate source for instant classic rock gold – the choice of drum kits, the presets and the MIDI. This EZX simply bursts loud, reverberant rock from the onset and out. ‘The Amber Kit,’ which represents a reproduction of the acrylic kit that John Bonham used during the now-historic “The Song Remains the Same” recordings in 1976, has a truly unique, open-sounding and blaring tone. To contrast, ‘The Sparkle Kit,’ also a homage to a setup frequently used by Bonham in several classic sessions, presents a more traditional tonal palette while still offering that mandatory, deafening rock sound. In other words, two perfect kits for classic rock – engineered to perfection by the man who helped shape its very essence.

Even though rock may shift, change and take on new paths, one thing is perfectly certain: the drums remain the same – big, obnoxious and loud. If you’re looking to produce grooves that don’t make any excuses, you’re in luck. Welcome to the sound of rumbling thunder and an EZX literally chock-full of rock.

  • Two complete drum kits, tailored for a big, reverberant classic rock sound
  • Recorded by Eddie Kramer at AIR Studios in London, UK
  • Inspired by Eddie’s work with classic rock bands and drummers of the ’60s and ’70s, particularly Led Zeppelin and John Bonham
  • Includes extras such as two timpani, a gong and several kit pieces
  • Includes drums sampled with sticks, mallets and snare wires off
  • A broad selection of presets for an instant mix-ready sound
  • A collection of drum MIDI grooves and fills also inspired by Eddie’s illustrious classic rock discography

ABOUT
EDDIE KRAMER.

The brushstrokes of Eddie Kramers’s ability to paint with sound has made rock history a glaring palette of color. Not only did he help shape the iconic sound of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss and many more in the sixties and seventies – his ear, touch and craftsmanship has had an immense impact throughout his entire career and to this day. We dare to say that arguably no one in his field has left a more distinct footprint on their path through rock history than he has.

Reading his list of credits from top to bottom sums his collaborations up to more than 750 albums covering all genres, all facets of rock and a myriad of the names anyone would file under ‘icons’ without thinking twice.

In addition to his deep-rooted passion for audio production, Eddie is also a published author and photographer. Eddie’s candid portraits of the rock luminaries he’s worked with over the years have been exhibited in some of the world’s most prestigious galleries and museums and have become of interest for collectors internationally.

Being frequent lecturer at workshops and seminars, he also likes to educate by sharing his lifelong well of experience from his side of the studio glass with the next generation of audio craftsmen.

SDX AND EZX.

– WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

The Classic Rock EZX comes with two mix-ready drum sets, both derived from the five kits featured in the Legacy of Rock SDX. The EZX is best described as a slimmed down version of the SDX, both in terms of number of instruments, available articulations, microphones and mixer channel options. The EZX was produced to provide a specific type of mix-ready sound while the SDX, in addition to its large pool of presets, features raw and unprocessed drum tones.

Looking for an instant classic rock sound – go for the EZX. Looking for all the options you need to mix, match and design the kits of your wildest dreams – go for the SDX.
