Toontrack - Signature - Part 2 EZX

In an unpretentious brick building on Sunset Boulevard, right smack in the hustle and bustle of one of the most busy and iconic streets of LA, some 60 years of music history has transpired. Saying that the inside of its walls is hallowed ground where legends have roamed simply doesn’t cut it: Sunset Sound is a shrine. When asked where multi-Grammy Award-winning producer/mixer/engineer and EZdrummer 3 core sound library engineer Michael Ilbert would bring a handpicked collection of some of the most amazing, unique and sough-after kits on the LA studio scene, the answer was simple – it was here.

Michael Ilbert’s series of Signature EZXs comprises two separate titles: Part 1 and Part 2. To offer maximum versatility and width, both volumes were recorded in separate studios of the Sunset Sound complex and includes its own unique set of kits, MIDI and presets. Part 2, which you are looking at now, was recorded in Studio 3 and covers four kits, three of which were recorded in its main live room and one in its famed isolation booth. This gives you two completely contrasting ambiences and a selection of rare and unique kits for anything from the warm, mellow and round to the tight, edgy and beat-oriented. Just like with Part 1, the kits were sourced from the vaults of the Drum Doctors and curated, tuned and prepped by someone just as notable on the LA studio circuit as the Sunset Sound studio itself: Ross Garfield. To add, a comprehensive selection of percussion instruments were recorded, making this EZX a definitive go-to package for full creative leverage.

If you’re in the market for drums, expertly captured by one of today’s most in-demand engineers in rooms that the likes of Prince, Beck, Fleetwood Mac and many more trusted to grace their albums, here you go.
