Toontrack has expanded its impressive EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 library with the Modern Retro EZX. This is the 68th individual expansion in their extensive collection, featuring three unique drum kits from the mid-1900s. Musicians can use these kits to create sounds perfect for acoustic pop, soul, R&B, and tight pocket-style beats.
The expansion comes from a collaboration between renowned engineer Christoffer Berg and drummer Christopher Cantillo. They recorded the drums at the legendary Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg, Sweden. The studio's massive 10-meter ceiling and controlled acoustics allowed them to capture drums with both contemporary precision and vintage warmth. They used special recording techniques, including ribbon and tube microphones, to preserve the authentic mid-century sound.
Drum heads made from calf and cowskin give these kits a distinctively thick and warm tone that modern drum heads can't replicate. The expansion includes a variety of presets, ranging from naturally organic mixes to complex, electronically processed sounds. Producers can quickly create drum parts that span authentically retro to cutting-edge electronic styles.
The Modern Retro EZX includes three unique drum kits, two of which were recorded in special "wires off" or "toweled" configurations. Toontrack provides a basic library of MIDI grooves and fills, giving musicians immediate creative possibilities. Priced at $89, this expansion offers a comprehensive toolkit for producers seeking vintage drum sounds with modern flexibility.
