The Toontrack EZXpansion-Twisted Kit for the EZdrummer sampler is what you're looking for when you want to march to a different drummer. EZXpansion-Twisted features the skills of Michael Blair, the drum and percussion genius behind Tom Waits "Rain Dogs" and "Franks Wild Years" albums, as well Elvis Costello's "Spike" and Lou Reed's "Magic and Loss," among others. Throwing traditional kits and percussive style out the window, Blair is a one-of-a-kind rhythm magician. This collection features off-the-beaten path type sounds mixed in with some quality, more orthodox hits. In other words, you can mix the crisp sound of a Gretsch 1987 maple kick drum with the plink of a hubcap or drawer turned into snares. If you're sonically adventurous, EZXpanion will give you a trip you're going to enjoy taking.

Industrial and Electronica powerhouse

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: performer, engineer

Reviewer's Play Style: Various Rock, Jazz, Classical and combinations

This is a very good update to EZDrummer, especially if you need unique sounds for any style of music but especially electronic and industrial.

There are a few bass and snare drums and a nice hi-hat. But the real features are the unique items used for percussive sounds.

This kit is more for the adventurous songwriters, but as stated, any genre of music can benefit from these unique sounds.
