TOONTRACK Release Two New Libraries For Superior & EZDRummer As A Part of Metal Month

Toontrack deems every November Metal Month and with good reason, the makers of EZdrummer 2 and Superior Drummer 2 announced two new software expansion packs for their popular line of products: Progressive EZX and The Progressive Foundry SDX.

According to Gear Gods, "both products come from a session at the Sing Sing Recording Studios in Melbourne produced by engineer Forrester Savell." This is the first time a product was simultaneously released for both EZX and SDX.

”We are extremely excited to not only bring drum sounds by one of the most up-and-coming producers in heavy rock today, but for the first time ever offer both Superior Drummer 2 and EZdrummer 2 users new custom content on the same day. This is something our customers have asked for and we’re thrilled to be able offer them two of the most massive expansions we have ever released”, said Toontrack’s CEO Peter Knutsson.

Let's take a look at the two products.

First, The Progressive Foundry SDX

Five complete kits, a total of 17 snare drums, 31 cymbals and five hi-hats – all captured on 26 separate channels and spanning a staggering 63 gigabytes of raw, unprocessed sounds. Needless to say, The Progressive Foundry SDX continues the tradition of its sibling The Metal Foundry SDX and gives you one of the most profound expansions in the Superior Drummer Line.

Features:
• 63 GB of raw, unprocessed drum sounds
• Five (5) complete kits
• Two (2) complete kits recorded with a ”snare wires off” option
• A total of 17 snare drums, nine (9) kicks and a wide array of cymbals
• Recorded and engineered by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus)
• Sampled by Steve Judd (Karnivool)
• Extensive MIDI library included

And of course, Progressive EZX

This sound library is designed for primary use in EZdrummer 2 but works in Superior Drummer 2 as well. It features a custom selection of content from The Progressive Foundry SDX for Superior Drummer 2. It comes with three complete kits recorded by engineer/producer Forrester Savell. With credits on defining albums by bands like Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus and I Am Giant, Savell has shaped a few of the most sonically progressive productions in the modern Australian metal and heavy rock scene.

Features:
• Three (3) complete kits and a wide range of cymbals
• 14 mix-ready presets tailored for metal and heavy rock
• Recorded by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus)
• Sampled by Steve Judd (Karnivool)
