Toontrack Latin Percussion EZ Drummer Expansion

The Toontrack Latin Percussion EZ Drummer Expansion contains the percussion sounds from the revolutionary, award winning pro drum sampler, dfh Superior.
The Latin Percussion EZ Drummer Expansion includes MIDI files that will add that extra groove on top of your steady drumtrack.

Percussionist Mikael Emsing on the recordings:

    I was excited when Toontrack asked me to collaborate on this product. Most of the work I've done in the studio and live have not been traditional Latin or African music, but rather Rock, Pop or Jazz-type sessions. Most of the sampling libraries I've come across however, have been geared more towards traditional Ethnic music. I felt there was a need for a sample library with sounds adapted to these situations.

    I´ve spent years studying traditional music, but also spent an equal amount of time trying to get some sort of "signature" sound, a sound that works live as well as in the studio, a sound that has some soul to it and I wanted to be sure that came through on the sampled sounds. Much to my satisfaction the guys from Toontrack shared my vision and from the get-go we planned and recorded everything with this in mind. I also wanted a wide variety of sounds and through the generous help of MEINL Percussion we have been able to provide the vital instruments for making recordings in the aforementioned genres. All the instruments were recorded in different sizes and materials. From large to small, from wood to fiberglass etc. Carrying this DVD around will be a lot easier than lugging all those instruments around. Time to get the groove going.

Subject:Ezdrummer Latin Percussion Expansion Kit
Quality: Great software program. Gotta love Ezdrummer.
Features: The sound samples are great. If what I really wanted was Latin Percussion Loops, I'd probably be more excited about the existing loops...but I can make my own with this software. I do like the existing "Cajun Rock" midi loops, but there aren't enough of them in my opinion. I wish the product was more of a non-exclusive hand percussion kit that also included an assortment of other genres including African percussion, but that would redefine what it is intended to be I guess. The Twisted Kit does have the Djembe that I am after and wish was apart of this kit. Overall, I would have to say that it is a great kit for what it is intended to be. Very usable, as I can make my own midi loops and use it the way I intend....or edit existing loops.
Ease of Use: Very easy to use. If you don't find that to be the case, let ezdrummer grow on you...you'll figure it out in a relatively short time. I think most musicians would find ezdrummer in general, including Latin Percussion...to be rather intuitive.
Value: Great value. You can squeeze more usefulness out of the kit by using a keyboard midi'd to the computer to have easier access to all the sounds within the kit...and do some demoing of ideas and concepts for self-made loops. Since there may more than one place to hit a congo in order to produce a different sound, for example, it may be easy to miss on the computer alone...but hitting all the piano keys on a keyboard (or electronic drum kit) midi'd to the computer makes it easier to demo all the sounds and combine instruments a little unconventionally if that's what you're after.
Appearance: Appearance is great. Fantastic design.
Skill Level: Intermediate
