Toontrack EZX Twisted Kit

What Toontrack Twisted Kit EZX Is For

Toontrack Twisted Kit EZX is used to inject unconventional percussion sounds into your productions without leaving your virtual drum workflow. Rather than replacing a classic acoustic kit, this expansion acts as a "replacement percussion" palette: perfect for giving a track a unique rhythmic identity, thickening an arrangement, or creating sound design layers around a main drum kit.

Thanks to its hybrid approach, Twisted Kit EZX crosses styles and proves useful in rock/alternative production as well as industrial, blues, ethnic music, or orchestral atmospheres. It is an ideal tool for singer-songwriters, film composers, and producers seeking surprising, organic timbres that are immediately playable within a DAW context.

Main Features

Conceived around Michael Blair's very personal setup, Twisted Kit EZX highlights a collection of percussive elements recorded at the Toontrack Studio. The concept is clear: anything can become an instrument. A duck call can serve as an alternative "bell," a car hubcap can color a snare drum, and rototom frames can transform into tonal hi-hats.

A Collection of Atypical Percussion, Yet Designed for Music

Twisted Kit EZX is not limited to effects. The sounds are organized to remain musically usable: sharp attacks, rich textures, resonances useful for groove and arrangement. The "different" percussion integrates easily in layers with more traditional drum kits or can form the core rhythm when you want to break new ground.

5 Kits to Vary Colors and Writing

The 5 kits cover a wide spectrum of materials and dynamics: unusual skins and shells (including Roto Toms), cymbals with rarer colors (including Tibetan cymbals), toms with marked character (including Chinese toms), as well as everyday objects that bring a raw and lively grain. This variety facilitates creating contrasts between verses and choruses or building original percussive rises.

MIDI Files Included for a Fast Workflow

The included MIDI files allow you to start immediately: lay down a rhythmic foundation, test various playing intentions, then finely edit in your sequencer. Whether you're looking for a repetitive industrial-style pattern, a more rootsy shuffle, or a cinematic percussive writing, the MIDI provide an effective starting point to stay focused on composition.
