Toontrack EZX Underground

What Toontrack Underground EZX Is For

Toontrack Underground EZX is a sound library dedicated to creating drum tracks with a raw grain, sharp attack, and unapologetic realism, as if your drummer were playing in a cramped room with a low ceiling, captured with a deliberately minimalist approach. The goal is not to smooth out the sound but to preserve the energy, roughness, and impact of a drum kit recorded in the spirit of alternative scenes, from the early '90s to current productions.

Whether you are producing a nervous punk track, a tense hardcore piece, a drier indie rhythm, gritty psychedelic rock, or darker textures, this expansion helps you quickly lay down a credible and lively foundation while remaining easy to integrate into a modern mix.

Main Features

A "basement" studio sound embraced, between vintage and modern

Recorded at Studio Cobra in Stockholm, Sweden, the Underground EZX highlights an organic and honest sonic aesthetic. Between tape machines, vintage tubes, and instruments with a worn charm, the recording emphasizes proximity and character, with drums that breathe life and the vibe of the scene.

Four kits, four personalities, a true palette of colors

The core of the Underground EZX is based on 4 large drum kits, each with its own signature. The production advantage is immediate: you can switch from a dry and aggressive kit to a more massive or darker kit without losing the "underground" DNA. The associated 20 presets facilitate workflow to quickly find a relevant starting point depending on your style and arrangement.

MIDI grooves played by an iconic drummer

To speed up writing, the expansion includes a wide selection of MIDI grooves, fills, and songs performed by David Sandstrom. Ideal for building a complete structure, testing variations, or obtaining natural transitions that sound "played" rather than programmed.
