@@DevinJamesMetal thank you very much. I kind of rushed it out but I was happy with the way it came out. I want to revisit the plugin again after I’ve spent more time with it.
I’ve used your videos to help make multiple EZX purchase decisions before, but in this case I picked it up before your video even came out. Couldn’t resist all the snare options and my real kit is Tama/Meinl as well so it was a no brainer. Always a good watch, thanks for doing what you do!
@@scottofsc for sure some just speak to you as soon as you see them. This is easily Toontracks best offering in a long time and actually got me excited about Ezdrummer again. Thanks for watching as always!!
Dude, your channel isn’t giving me notifications anymore? Anyways, I just got these and I’m so excited and very impressed! I’ve been waiting for a kit like this for a long time! Thank you! \,,/
It is a really good expansion. I literally only bought it two hours before I put this video out so I'm hoping to do a more thorough follow up vid in a couple of weeks!
DuFFuL....you always make great demonstration videos. This EZX sounds amazing...this could very well be Toontrack's best sounding expansion to date. Those drums just sound so natural to me. Any of the presets are great.... especially the DuFFuL preset ..😂.. ***I bought the Bob Rock expansion yesterday- it's on sale. You're right. It sounds great as well. I don't think that you can have too many Drum or MIDI libraries...they really inspire me!!! This one will probably be my next purchase. Thanks again, DuFFuL. PS... I've noticed that you've lost some weight.. great job my friend!!!
HAHA thanks man. I have lost a little. Really cut back on the drinking and eating a bit healthier. I agree that this is probably one of the best they have released. Especially in recent years. I really love that it has some fantastic midi grooves with it as well. It's a really solid expansion and it's about time they really delivered in metal month!! And no, you can never have to many drum libraries. Even though I'm a guitar player, I think I love drum plugins better than guitar ones hahaha!
@@DuFFuL you look great, brother.... I've lost 40 lbs (14.144 kg) myself...I was way too heavy for a guy that's 6'1" tall (1.8542 meters)....was 265 lbs (120.202 kg). *I am sure that everything in your life will improve with your healthier lifestyle. I noticed the difference especially in your face. Once again- you're looking good. My wife and I both aren't eating as big of a portion and have cut the carbs/sugar way down. Maybe I can wear a pair of leather pants now -just kidding.. 😆 I bought the Ugritone Daim 100 Amp SIM...I think it sounds really good. Especially for $10/USD. I also purchased some of their MIDI for drums (only $2.00 USD). Like you, I love to buy drum libraries...it's the foundation of music. I am really loving the Bob Rock Expansion...all of the presets sound great and natural. Thanks for the recommendation.
@ man 14kg is an effort. Great job!! It is amazing how much better you feel. More energy and just better mentally! I still want to lose about another 7kg (15lbs) to get to my ideal weight but now rush. Man drums and midi are great. Also check out Audio assault stuff. They just released a great new amp called the Berserk for $5 and man does it chug!! They also have midi packs which I’m yet to check out. Think of buying one this week!
@@centroproiv5614 that would be the preset I came up with. I always create my own preset for all of the expansions I own. I really should upload it to my drop box with the other ones so you guys can download it.
It definitely feels like it's been a long time between really good metal expansions and being that I wasn't really a huge fan of the Duality expansions, this really is a breath of fresh metal air!!
@@lauridsen1381 Thank you very much! Im always surprised that neither of the Duality expansions ever go on sale. Like never. I dont get it unless they have a deal with producer because I have noticed that the other one he made which was the Big band EZX, never does either.
@DuFFuL oh I never knew that. It might be a producer thing yeah. I can't think of why Toontrack themselves would premium Duality compared to the rest of their product line
@@tylershaw2722 it’s all good. These ones were actually worth it! At one point year ago our dollar was really high and I could buy stuff cheaper than Americans. Aahhh I miss those times!
Man, that is a really hard decision for someone to make for you. Its dependent on so many factors. Style, guitar tone, and lastly, your tastes. I do have a top ten EZdrummer expansion for metal video I did a bit ago. Check that out but remember, it's still only my opinion!
@@gffg387 Unfortunately, I can't speak for anything or even give an opinion of anything superior drummer related as I simply don't own it. This pack is an amazing pack for EZdrummer and they may actually release a SDX for it later. It's really hard because I've been slowly moving away from EZdrummer for a while now. Don't get me wrong, I still think they are amazing products but if I'm being honest with you, for metal there are better plugins on the market for metal right now. Check out my Top 10 Drum plugins video here and you will see what I mean! ruclips.net/video/grBuhhklxQM/видео.html
My kneejerk reaction was 'another metal EZX?' xD. But honestly, if I wanted to recommend a sample library for metal only as a first library for someone, this would be a no-brainer, because it sounds great! And it's got a mark tree!
Did I pressure you into buying this due to a comment? If so then I am so sorry 😭 $150 is alot of money even for a high quality drum vst. Thank you for the video though!
@@MrBlueDux not really man. I did think about getting but really couldn’t decide. Then I noticed no one was really doing reviews on it so I thought I’d take the plunge and get one out there. I love drum plugins so it’ll get used!! Thanks for watching 😀😀
That will be revealed in my next video hahah. No, for this one I went with the brand-new amp from Audio Assault called, Bezerk! It just sounds damn amazing, and the best part is, its $5. Audio Assault has come so far in the last year and honestly, they always have the best price.
@@markfranx I did look at that one but it’s really not my style. After listening to the preset demos on the site, I really didn’t hear anything that would appeal to me.
@@vejichan man that’s a hard one! I’ve only had it for a few days. Let me sit with it for a bit longer and the ask me hahaha. I am planning on doing a follow up video on it after I’ve gotten more used to it. I kind of rushed that video out.
@DuFFuL thanks for the quick reply and the helping videos in general. Well its kind of a shame with the no bus fx. I thought that would be the standard going forward but oh well 😉👍
Sounds awesome, but their pricing has gone up heaps in the last few years. I'm is Aus as well and looking back when I purchased EZdrummer 2, 3 years ago, I paid €70 for the main product and €23 for two EZX. No doubt they were on special, but I don't remember full price being anywhere near €89 for an EZX. I've currently got the following EZX and upgraded to EZdrummer 3 with the pre-realease pricing. Big Rock Drums Metal Machine Progressive Rock I haven't used it overly much, but really looking to make better use of it and finally make some music (I mostly play guitar and favourite genre is metal). Looks like you've got some good stuff on your channel for metal lovers - subscribed and will check some of it out 🤘🤘
@@iduncanw yes I agree their pricing has definitely increased a lot. It’s the reason I always wait for specials. I’ve actually moved away from ezdrummer a bit but I still think it’s a great product. I just wish they had a bit more control over the processing in the drums, especially reverb. Thank you for the sub! I hope you enjoy the content.
@DuFFuL I recently got Addictive Drums 2 when it was on special. Got the option with 6 ADpacks. I think it has more adjustments available compared to EZdrummer but haven't explored it much. Mainly bought it as I started to learn finger drumming via The Quest for Groove and the guy provides a heap of presets for the stuff you learn. Thanks 🤘🤘
@@DuFFuL I am engaged in the processing of ezx libraries, in the superior 3. Then I copy the preset file to EZdrammer 3. By the way, I noticed that often, the same preset file in EZ sounds better than in Superior. Thank you for the demonstration, I hope at least I will find my snare and kick here.😁🤘💙💛💪✌️
@@dougb3854 it’s been the same for me mate. I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I wasn’t running a channel. It sounds really good but I think UHD is still 100% my favourite. But my tastes are always changing.
What is UHD? I've tried looking for it, but cannot find it. I checked out Fotis, and wow. 🤯 ive been using mixwave for some time now, but wow, it sounded good!

@@markfranx I did look at that one but it’s really not my style. After listening to the preset demos on the site, I really didn’t hear anything that would appeal to me.

Where 70$? On the EU Toontrack page it stands 89€ 🤔 Dufful is in Australia, 153 A$ are 92€ at the moment or 100 US$
@@Fishplants if you’re in the states it will be cheaper as your dollar is stronger against the Euro. Unfortunately here in Australia it is not.
If it's $70 in the US, we're getting overcharged in Australia then as the Euro is considered stronger than the USD so should cost more in the US.

nothing better than the others nothing worst
