Funkmasters EZX
Starting at US$88.95
This is a unique and exclusive recording of two of the most important drummers in popular music: Clyde Stubblefield and John 'Jabo' Starks. This EZX® features two kit interfaces (one for Clyde and one for Jabo) effects sliders in the EZmixer, a Vinyl effect created with the use of iZotope's Vinyl plug-in, and a large Plate reverb resampled at Toontrack® Music Studios.
On their own or in tandem, Starks and Stubblefield were the principal drummers for the Godfather of Soul, Mr. James Brown. Their collective era in Brown's bands to this day represents the pinnacle of soul. Their combined drumming on the classic double-album 'Sex Machine' is some of the most innovative, inspired and funky playing ever recorded.
Samples and looped audio of their original beats and breaks would go on to become the foundation of hip-hop. Their breaks gave birth to countless genres reaching deep into the realms of underground, experimental and popular music, influencing and inspiring DJs and sample-based music producers worldwide, thus making Starks and Stubblefield the most sampled and influential drummers in history.
Musicians, producers and DJs will be amazed by the depth of soul found within
