To capture the fusion of raw acoustic energy and electronic weight that defines modern drum & bass, this EZX for EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 brings together two deeply rooted names from the genre and the wider UK dance scene: drummer Andy Gangadeen and producer, mixer, engineer and DJ Peter “Erb N Dub” Chapman. From performances alongside icons like James Brown, Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan to work with acts such as Massive Attack, Rudimental, Chase & Status and Fatboy Slim, their combined experience spans decades of music shaped by rhythm, movement and hard-hitting drums.

This EZX includes four acoustic kits alongside a collection of electronic drum machine sounds, percussion and effects – all tailored for modern drum & bass production. Inspired by iconic breakbeats like the legendary “Amen Break,” it aims not only to capture the laser-sharp precision of modern drum & bass, but also the raw character of the recordings that helped shape it. To bridge the gap between modern and vintage production, the sessions combined an SSL desk with a vintage Decca valve console, with many microphones driven through the Decca preamps for warm saturation and natural compression. To further evoke the feel of classic breakbeat recordings, a dedicated horn mic spill channel was incorporated.

In addition to the sounds, it also comes with a collection of grooves curated by Gangadeen and Chapman, all designed to match the vibe of the kits and make full use of the extras – including the high-pitched side snare, effects and electronic percussion. Add the wide range of mix-ready presets by Peter Chapman and you’ll have the ultimate toolkit for modern and classic drum & bass alike.

Nothing genuine can be built on machines alone. Even with an electric soul, it still needs a human groove. This EZX gives you both. If you’re looking for unstoppable chops, they start here.
