New Orleans v1.0.0 EZX

P2P | 05 January 2026 | 15.3 GB

If you’re chasing the soul of drumming, all roads lead to New Orleans. This is the city where the drum kit as we know it was born, where jazz and funk first took shape and where rhythm has never been just a musical element – it’s the living pulse woven over centuries by African, Caribbean, French and Creole traditions, merging into that magical heartbeat we call groove. For this EZX, we traveled there to capture an all-encompassing drum library under the supervision of one of the city’s foremost experts on drumming, gear and groove: Terence Higgins (Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Dirty Dozen Brass Band). The New Orleans EZX was sampled by Terence Higgins himself and recorded by multi-award-winning engineer, producer and mixer Misha Kachkachishvili at his Esplanade Studios, one of the absolute hubs of today’s New Orleans recording circuit. Located in the vibrant Tremé neighborhood and housed in a completely remodeled 14,000-square-foot early 1900s church, it’s the largest recording studio in Louisiana. The main recording room in Studio A alone boasts a staggering 3,400-square-foot space with ceilings up to 26 feet high. Naturally, the ambience is awe-inspiring. For this recording, however, the drums were partially sectioned off using gobos to create a lively yet viscerally close feel.

Traditional New Orleans music is a living blend of jazz, blues, funk, soul, brass, gospel and Creole traditions.

Born in 1970 and schooled in the New Orleans second-line tradition of groove, Terence had no shortage of inspiration growing up. Drummers like Baby Dodds, Earl Palmer, Smokey Johnson, Charles “Hungry” Williams, Shannon Powell, James Black and many more virtually transformed the art of the groove and made New Orleans one of the most vibrant groove capitals in the world. Carrying that torch, Terence represents the next generation of drummers, ensuring that the city’s authentic blend of slinky street beats, funk, R&B, Zydeco, blues and jazz continues to thrive.

Drum MIDI inspired by UK dance music. For decades, the UK has been at the very forefront of producing new and innovative acts, playing a defining role in shaping the sound of electronic dance music as we know it. In this MIDI pack, we throw ourselves headfirst into its vast magnetic forcefield of monotonously trance-like, syncopated and offbeat grooves.

Comprising 40 “songs” and more than 350 individually created parts in tempos ranging all the way from 90 up to 185 BPM, you’ll have no shortage of options. Prepare for an eclectic collection of grooves and breaks that covers anything from the slow, pulsating and bass drum-throbbing to the energetic, bouncy and all-in wild.
