Toontrack Music

Toontrack has released Seventies Rock EZX, a drum library expansion for EZdrummer 2. This marks the twenty-ninth title in Toontrack's ever-growing line of EZX expansions. The Seventies Rock EZX is available separately as well as part of the limited-time-only savings bundle, Classic Studios EZX Value Pack, gathering a total of three EZX titles all recorded at historic locations.

Seventies Rock EZX
The 1970s rock scene was one of diversity and constant reinvention. On one end of the scale, bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who revitalized the drum hero of the jazz age and introduced a sonic ideal of big, massively saturated drums. On the opposite end, acts like the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac took on a noticeably more polished production suit. Still, both sounds were very much products attributed to the advances of recording technology. The Seventies Rock EZX sets out to capture that scope – from the farthest end of epic, earth-shattering and reverberant down to classic, dampened and low-key.

The recording sessions were held at the Columbia Studio A in Nashville. Today, restored to practically a museum of pristine 1970s recording gear, it serves as a training academy for Belmont University. The EZX includes three fundamentally different kits: a bombastic-sounding, one-of-a-kind replica of Buddy Rich's '70s-era Slingerland as well as two different renditions of a mid-'70s Camco – one with standard drum heads and one with toweled.

Feature Spotlight:

  • Two (2) 1970s-era kits sampled with regular drum heads (Mark Arnold Custom, Camco).
  • One (1) kit sampled with toweled drum heads (Camco).
  • Additional snares and a large assortment of cymbals.
  • Recorded at the legendary Columbia Studio A in Nashville, TN.

Price: $89.
