Played by Luke · shaped for your production
EZdrummer performances that still feel human.
Luke can perform your drum part in real time on his Roland electronic kit, capturing the detail and dynamics of an actual performance as clean, editable MIDI. The part can then be developed in EZdrummer using a huge range of kicks, snares, toms, cymbals, rooms and kit combinations.
This expands what is possible beyond a single acoustic setup: tightly controlled modern drums, larger-than-life sounds, unusual combinations or production-ready tones selected specifically for the track—without sacrificing the feel of a drummer playing the part.
Yamaha Hybrid Maple
The white Hybrid Maple provides a distinct alternative voice for larger, more open or modern drum sounds.
Zildjian & Roland
A broad Zildjian cymbal collection, Roland electronic drums and SPD-SX allow acoustic, electronic and hybrid parts to be built around the song.
Session-ready recording chain
Multiple Shure, Sennheiser, Aston, Electro-Voice, Samson, RØDE, Beyerdynamic and Audix microphones, captured through a Focusrite 18i20.
