Some productions do not require large reverbs, powerful parallel compression or excessive saturation, but only naked, unrecorded and acoustic truth. Presenting a collection of thin, sparse, soft and mature sounding kits, the Singer-Songwriter EZX is a tribute to just that. Welcome to the epitome of a bespoke drum library for any selective songwriter who finds the gritty, unbridled voice of a drum kit as much a storyteller as the song itself.
Singer-Songwriter EZX was recorded in a selected room, relatively small and transparent, to ensure minimal environmental coloration. In total, it includes five complete sets recorded with sticks, as well as one configuration and several additional instruments sampled with brushes. To paint the broadest picture possible, each set has been hand-picked for its contrasting qualities, character and tonal complexity. In an effort to provide the most uniformly composed kits, the selection process has been carefully studied, from matching heads with tuning and cymbal sizes to drum tones, to the delicacy of the drummer’s hit.
The result is an unrivaled collection of organic, rich and warm-sounding drums for laid-back train beats, smooth, matte pocket grooves, or any sustained backbeat.
