Toontrack has kicked off their month-long celebration of infectious Latin flavours with the release of a new EZX for EZdrummer 2 and Superior Drummer 3. The Latin Cuban Drums EZX packs in two custom kits featuring a handpicked collection of drums and a selection of mounted percussion such as bells, woodblocks and a timbale.
It was all captured at the famed Sear Sound Studios in New York by a team with a much-prominent status in the broad field of Latin music – Grammy Award-winning and Emmy-nominated engineer Dave Kowalski and drummer Robby Ameen.
Between them, their work spans from the early ’80s through to today and includes collaborations with numerous top artists, awards and accolades. In fact, Robby is arguably one of the most influential Latin-oriented drummers of the past few decades with books, instructional videos and much more on his CV – all on the subject of drums in Latin music.
EZdrummer 2 owner? Welcome to a mind-blowing toolbox of mix-ready kits.
Superior Drummer 3 user? Revel in a near-infinite palette of options that opens up for limitless sound design.
