The Metal! EZX also comes with a versatile collection of grooves and fills performed by Soilwork and metal drummer extraordinaire Dirk Verbeuren. Between them, these three producers have worked with some of modern metal’s most influential acts as well as those pioneering today’s multifaceted scene: Meshuggah, In Flames, Trivium, Whitechapel, DevilDriver, The Black Dahlia Murder, God Forbid and Dimmu Borgir, to name a few. EZdrummer 2 Metal Edition from Toontrack pairs the companys virtual drum module with two drum sample expansion packs dedicated to reproducing the sounds of. Ive also bought nearly every Toontrack expansion and can say Death Metal EZX is awesome while Metal Machine (used in this clip) is a classic. I always go back to the Toontrack products (EZ Drummer and Superior Drummer). The raw material was then individually remixed by Mark Lewis, Jason Suecof and Daniel Bergstrand himself into nine drum kits tailor-made for metal. I own EZ Drummer 1 & 2, Superior Drummer 2 & 3, Get Good Drums Invasion, and Steven Slate Drums (4 and 5, I think). The Metal! EZX is based on a new drum recording engineered by Daniel Bergstrand in Norway’s highly unique Tanken Studio. A nine-headed behemoth that leaves nothing but rubble behind.

To touch on a point from above, yes, you get new MIDI when you buy an expansion, but you dont get much something I dislike.

What happens when you put a massive, all-new drum recording in the hands of three of the most in demand producers in modern metal, let them bring it to their own studio environments and equip them with an unparalleled set of audio shaping tools? You not only get a collection of nine custom drum kits – you get a rampant battery armed for complete audio destruction. I use the Post-Rock, Rock Solid, Alt-Rock, and Southern Soul EZXs quite often, and they all sound pretty good to me.
