Music City USA SDX is a library of drum samples and MIDI grooves that brings the flavor of Nashville to the award-winning, industry-standard drum production platform, Superior Drummer 2.0. Much like on its sibling, the Nashville EZX, Toontrack worked with engineer Harry Stinson and drummer Chuck Ainlay, two of the best, most experienced players and producers in the business, to create the Music City USA SDX drum sample collection.

Like it, love it, or leave it, Nashville Tennessee is Music City USA. With more labels, publishers, writers, producers, musicians, and artists per capita than any other city in North America, Nashville knows a thing or two about great music, and more importantly—great sounding music.

With the city's history and culture so steeped in the art of making and recording music, the Toontrack team could think of no better place on earth to record a drum library that would be at home in music ranging from rock to reggae, metal to gospel or punk to polka. (Oh yeah, they're good for country and rock too)
