The Beats of New Orleans MiDi

FANTASTiC | 05 December 2025 | 0.4 MB

Traditional New Orleans music is a living blend of jazz, blues, funk, soul, brass, gospel and Creole traditions. At the heart of all that – especially when it comes to drums – one thing is as obvious as it is impossible to put your finger on: groove. In this MIDI pack, Grammy Award-winning drummer Terence Higgins (Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Dirty Dozen Brass Band) takes you on a journey through the city and the rhythmic foundations on which it stands – with vibe, heart and feel in every beat along the way. 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. If you’re looking for a MIDI pack steeped in earthy, raw and organic drumming firmly rooted in the authentic groove of New Orleans, this one’s for you. Expect everything from rolling, jazz-tinged grooves to deep, swampy and greasy rhythms – all soaked in that lopsided swagger that screams New Orleans.

Modern Retro v1.0.1 EZX

P2P | 11 May 2025 | 6.31GB

This EZX for EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 features a collection of unique kits from the mid-1900s era, each handpicked to create the best mix of earthy, organic, resonant and vivid sounds for anything from acoustic pop to edgy soul, R&B and any tight-sounding pocket-style beats. It was recorded by engineer/producer/mixer Christoffer Berg (Depeche Mode, The Knife, Fever Ray) and drummer Christopher Cantillo (Carly Rae Jepsen, Mayer Hawthorne, Dina Ögon) at the famed Svenska Grammofonstudion (SGS) in Gothenburg, Sweden. With its main live room boasting an impressive 10-meter ceiling height but still with a very contained ambience, it was the perfect choice for an EZX that set out to capture drums tight enough for any contemporary beats but still projecting enough air in the room to retain that natural timeless vintage timbre of the drums. The kits were recorded using the obligatory close mics as well as two different mid/side configurations – one featuring all-ribbon mics and one where only tube mics were used. To enhance the vintage flair and period-correct vibes of the kits themselves even more, prominently calf- and cowskin heads were used, giving you that uniquely thick, lush, warm, yet-ringy, old-school sound unlike that of any modern-day alternatives.
