When it comes to the origins of groove, swing and funk, there is no way around New Orleans. This is where the drum set as we know it today was born. It was here that African, Caribbean, French and Creole rhythms merged into a pulsating musical language that gave birth to jazz and funk. With the New Orleans EZX, Toontrack brings this unmistakable spirit directly into your studio - authentically captured under the direction of Terence Higgins (Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Dirty Dozen Brass Band), one of the most sought-after drummers in town.

No expense was spared for this EZX: the recordings were made in the legendary Esplanade Studios in the heart of the Tremé district. The studio is housed in a former church from the early 20th century and offers impressive acoustics with over 3,400 square feet and ceilings up to 8 meters high. To capture the characteristic sound of New Orleans, the drums were partially separated with gobos - creating a lively, yet close spatial sound that immediately inspires.
The New Orleans EZX consists of two extensive drum libraries - Traditional and Artist - and combines over a century of drum history in five unique kits.

To get you started right away, the New Orleans EZX comes with an extensive selection of mix-ready presets developed by award-winning producer Misha Kachkachishvili. In addition, an extensive MIDI library with authentic grooves and fills by Terence Higgins provides the perfect foundation - whether classic jazz, second line beats or modern funk rhythms.
