When I contacted Mark about possibly using some of his drums for this session, he told me about his “Buddy kit” – a replica he built of the Slingerland * drum set that Buddy Rich was playing in the ’70s.
His resume reads like a who’s who of A-list drummers that will make your head spin. Mark Arnold is a very well respected drum technician, drum builder and drum collector in Nashville TN. The EZX includes three fundamentally different kits: a bombastic-sounding, one-of-a-kind replica of Buddy Rich’s ’70s-era Slingerland * as well as two different renditions of a mid-‘70s Camco * – one with standard drum heads and one with toweled.Īll this, coupled with the powerful framework of EZdrummer 2, will give you an unprecedented sonic palette to help craft your ’70s-inspired rock for years to come. Today, restored to practically a museum of pristine 1970s recording gear, it serves as a training academy for Belmont University. The recording sessions were held at the Columbia Studio A in Nashville, one of the world’s most famed recording studios. The Seventies Rock EZX sets out to capture that scope – from the farthest end of epic, earth-shattering and reverberant down to classic, dampened and low-key. Still, both sounds were very much products attributed to the advances of recording technology. On the opposite end, acts like the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac took on a noticeably more polished production suit. On one end of the scale, bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who not only paved way for a new breed of loud, beat-driven rock – but also revitalized the drum hero of the jazz age and introduced a never-before-heard sonic ideal of big, massively saturated drums. Saturated, warm and rich tones that will fall seamlessly into any track you’re working on.The 1970s rock scene was one of diversity and constant reinvention. Everything was recorded using vintage gear and microphones, the custom miking techniques of the genre and through a 1970s Soundcraft Series II console.Īll this coupled with the studio's dense, organic wood-lined walls, its tight space and three decades worth of reggae history will give you unrivaled authenticity in drums for roots oriented music. It includes two full, single-headed custom drum kits, a generous selection of snares, percussion and traditional Binghi and clay hand drums. The Reggae EZX was recorded at Rub-a-Dub Studios in Stockholm, Sweden and comes with a unique and genuine collection of instruments, all handpicked for this session.
