This bundle consists of the Toontrack EZ Drummer virtual drum softwae and the Toontrack Jazz EZX Expansion pack.
The Toontrack EZ Drummer is a multi-microphone drum sampler designed for musicians and producers in need of a compact, affordable, easy to handle plug-in without compromising sound quality or control.
The visualized drums in the interface combine auditioning of sounds and drumkit construction. The extensive drag and drop MIDI-library (featuring 2000+ MIDIfiles) enables users to create a great drum-track in just a few clicks. For more advanced handling, users can control microphone bleeding and levels between drums using the internal mixer. The mixer also allows stereo and multitrack routing into the host through one single plug-in, and thanks to the second generation Toontrack Percussive Compression (TPC), system requirements are kept to a minimum.

The Toontrack Jazz EZX Expansion features samples performed by the legendary Drum Virtuoso/Pioneer Roy ”Futureman” Wooten.
The Toontrack Jazz EZX Expansion Pack is for EZdrummer. Featuring drums and percussion sound banks to be used with the basic EZdrummer module. They also contain additional MIDI files to offer immediate creative access to the specific playing style of each EZX genre.
Roy ”Futureman” Wooten is a multiple Grammy award winning composer, inventor, and multi-instrumentalist who have been a pioneer in using sampled drums since 1985. He has shared the stage and numerous albums with many Jazz legends.
Toontrack Jazz EZX was recorded at Blackbird Studios, Nashville, USA. His passion and knowledge of Jazz history met with a relentlessly energetic and musical approach to single note striking that left the Toontrack crew in utter disbelief. Every single hit and swirl recorded as part of a larger whole, as part of a musical sequence rather than as solitary, monotonous hit. The results are samples that strike with intensity and force lending unique scope and musicality to these recordings.
The recordings for the Jazz EZX set a benchmark for how sampling percussive instruments, and musical instruments in general, will be done in the future. Toontrack Music has had the privilege to capture the magic of Futureman. His touch, his heart, his philosophy and his unique approach to his craft in this Jazz EZX.
The Toontrack Jazz EZX can be used together with Toontrack Music's Superior Drummer 2.0 and the MIDI delivered with the EZX's can also be used with the Toontrack Music MIDI engine EZplayer pro.
