在这款 EZX 扩展中,鼓手 Dirk Verbeuren(Megadeth)与音响工程师 Chris Rakestraw(Megadeth、Deftones、Parkway Drive)携手合作,为 EZdrummer 3 和 Superior Drummer 3 带来了金属风格扩展的巅峰之作。它包含三套独具特色的鼓组、大量军鼓和脚鼓,以及超过 30 面镲片——所有声音都在世界上最著名的硬摇滚和金属录音棚之一、位于洛杉矶的 One On One Studio A 精准录制完成。这间录音棚声音宏大、温暖而富有活力,同时又紧致有力、攻击感十足,堪称为重型金属鼓声量身定制的理想空间。这里诞生了无数标志性的专辑,包括 Megadeth 的《Rust in Peace》,Metallica 的《…And Justice for All》和《Black Album》,Dream Theater 的《Awake》,以及 Testament 的《The Ritual》等。
这款扩展包内的三套鼓组各具鲜明个性:一套源自 Dirk 当前的巡演配置,一套代表他在 Soilwork 乐队期间使用的设备,还有一套则是特别挑选的,旨在呈现完全不同的音色和氛围。整体上,你将拥有一套平衡而又多样化的鼓组组合,涵盖从响亮、激烈、富有冲击力,到宽阔、低沉、温暖的各种声音风格。
除了声音本身,还提供了丰富的即用型混音预设,以及一系列鼓点和过门素材,助你快速制作出既展现 Dirk 独特疯狂鼓风格、又融合 Rakestraw 清晰制作水准的鼓组作品。
本次扩展的目标,是打造一款能够诠释各种金属重量感的典范之作——无论是老派疾速金属的粗暴冲击,现代金属的沉重狂轰,还是充满表现力的融合式、前卫金属风格——团队都远超了最初的设想。这款扩展在鼓手、工程师、录音棚、设备和声音各方面,全部达到了顶级水准。简而言之,这款 EZX 可谓纯粹且绝对的金属完美之作
In this EZX, drummer Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth) and engineer Chris Rakestraw (Megadeth, Deftones, Parkway Drive) have teamed up to bring you the epitome of a metal expansion for EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3. It features three unique kits, a wealth of snare drums and kicks as well as over 30 cymbals – all flawlessly captured in one of the world’s most famed studios for hard rock and metal: Studio A at One On One in Los Angeles. Massive-sounding, warm and vibrant but at the same time just as tight and aggressive, this room has all the qualities to move air in a way that makes it seem custom-built particularly for hard-hitting metal drums. This goes to show on the plethora of defining records that were recorded here, some of which include the likes of Megadeth’s “Rust in Peace,” Metallica’s “…And Justice for All” and “Black Album,” Dream Theater’s “Awake” and Testament’s “The Ritual.”
Each of the three drum kits included represents its own niched sound. One covers Dirk’s current touring setup, one is from his tenure in the band Soilwork and one was handpicked to offer a completely contrasting tone and vibe. All in all, you’ll have a balanced but eclectic palette of kits encompassing anything from the loud, aggressive and punchy to the big, low and warm.
In addition to the sounds, a wealth of mix-ready presets as well as a collection of drum grooves and fills are provided, allowing you to instantly get going producing drum parts that perfectly pair Dirk’s patented brand of drumming madness with Rakestraw’s crystal-clear engineering.
Setting out to deliver the archetype of an EZX to muster any imaginable facet of heaviness – from the coarse onslaught of old-school thrash and massively pummeling modern metal to the expressive, fusion-like and progressive – the team outstripped every expectation. This is an expansion that checks all the boxes for drummer, engineer, room, gear and sound. Simply put, this EZX is nothing short of sheer and absolute metal perfection.
