So very cool! I live in Toronto and know how amazing Canterbury Studios are. I very much recognize the drum tech Mike, but can't for the life of me remember where I know him from! Great drums and great sounds! Will be buying this one for sure!
Sounds like a super pack and must have addition to the arsenal, but will have to wait a while. Sky appears to be a very humble person (meant with the utmost respect).
I think there's been a mistake on the product webpage - the full productions sound pretty good but the "Kit and Preset Selection" sounds are orders of magnitude lower fidelity and quality than the full production drum sounds. Almost like we're listening to solo mics on some examples, or the tom mic instead of the entire mixer. Example 4 - Swamp Preset in particular.
This expansion to me was quite underwhelming. All the drums sound super boomy and require low-cut and shaping of the low end to get it to sit in a mix. All the previous kits were mix ready. This one requires a bit of work.
This pack is pretty rough.. Things are out of phase, OH placement causes weird panning issues, so many kick drum mics but none sound very good, extremely roomy that it drowns everything out. Pretty disappointing and I’d love to get a refund, but Toontrack doesn’t allow it after downloading.
this was the worst ez drummer ever - not even close - I got ripped off 90 bucks - not the drummer's fault - it was the producer - she dropped the ball - just so bad - I have lots of drum sets and add ons - I've been a EZ drummer buyer for years - this was - insulting. What was she thinking? Bad headphones? dull dull dull unusable - there drums were mismatched
Was this a DEI hire or nepo baby type situation? No hate really, but this just doesn’t sound on the level of other EZX packs. The producer Hill hasn’t really produced anyone of note. Just confused how toontrack has gone from Al Schmidt type creators to this
Finally a chick who can do it right. That Stockholm SDX you had before, done by those Swedish chicks, sorry, but that was a one-trick pony heavy boom-boom fest with horrible overdone bass freq. Worked for one thing, but this is far more versatile and usable, actually. We need more smart girls in the studio.
I wouldn't say that just yet. I just bought this since the demos sounded good, but a lot of stuff is out of phase and gained really badly. Not impressed with this pack so far...
Its been used a lot in Japanese productions tho. Yes, Stockholm sounds thin and dry but it has it's charm on its own. Still, i think this library sounds more interesting and cool.
TOONTRACK stop making Metal drums. It's kinda boring men people doesn't like it. Make some unique acoustic drums don't just focus to Pure Metal people was fed up by that Nonsense Metal. Make EMO DRUMS Sounding Men‼️
Back in the day drum libraries were mostly metal focused really glad the industry has moved towards pop and indie genres.
Yes, for a long while I was receiving emails about yet more metal products - argh! And every month seemed like 'Metal Month' !!
Fab sounding kits made by a team who clearly know what they're doing. Kudos to all, can't wait to use it on forthcoming projects.
I always look forward to this series.
I bought the EZX and WOW! And the extra sounds on the sampling pad; great.
Awesome!

Can you share the names of the backing tracks in this video, please?
They can all be found in the "full production" player on the page for this product! Have a listen there.
