Toontrack releases EZdrummer 2 expansion for hip-hop

Today Toontrack announced the release of the third EZX sound library expansion since the EZdrummer 2 launch in 2014: the Hip-Hop! EZX.

“This is easily one of the most comprehensive products in the history of the product line,” said Mattias Eklund, Toontrack’s head of Sound Design. “It covers literally hundreds upon hundreds of electronic sounds, essential percussion, timeless acoustic drums and some of the best and most creative kit presets we have ever released. I can’t wait to hear what our users create with it.”

 

The Hip-Hop! EZX is firmly rooted in authentic, acoustic drums, but mixes, matches and merges them with timeless drum machine sounds, orchestral percussion and other creative elements to form unique hybrid kits. In total, you get 22 mix-ready drum sets and hundreds of percussive pieces – all in an uncompromising fusion of organic and acoustic. Get anything from the clean and polished sound of neo-soul and the mean and electronic Southern trap to the to the dirty, rugged New York boom bap – all in one place. Add to this the powerful framework of EZdrummer 2 and you have the ultimate creative canvas for your next beat.
