The Ludwig Drum Company had no idea what was about to hit them in the months following February 9, 1964 — the day The Beatles made their US television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The band was an overnight sensation and suddenly everyone wanted to own a set of Ludwig drums just like Ringo's. In fact, Ludwig was still struggling to keep up with demand when along came another drumming icon — John Bonham! Along with the Ludwig Supraphonic snare drum, Bonham popularized bigger drums, including the 24" kick drum similar to the one sampled for the Vintage Rock Brushes and Sticks EZX^®. This 60's era Ludwig set belongs to 2kHz Studio owner Nick Yeatman.

The Ludwig Keystone Kit was played by Chris Whitten and mixed by producer Peter Henderson and Mattias Eklund from Toontrack^® Music. Additional instruments include the classic Ludwig Black Beauty and Slingerland Radio

King snares as well as a number of cool complimentary cymbals. Vintage Rock Brushes and Sticks EZX^® is topped off with customized MIDI files played by top notch drummer Morgan Ågren (Frank Zappa).

Vintage Rock EZX^® was developed in collaboration with Michael Blair and Sontronics Microphones.

The Vintage Rock EZX^® by Michael Blair was sampled through the very best outboard gear. Distortion, reverb, compression, and attack effects are available in the internal mixer. This enables you to access mixer presets by STS 9, Richard Devine, DJ Amplive, sub-ID and Count Bass D. You can also save your own custom mixer presets with EZdrummer^® 1.1 or higher.
