Toontrack UK Pop EZX

From the immortal legacy of acts like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones through pioneering groups such as The Police and The Clash to modern­-day icons like Adele and Ed Sheeran, the UK has continuously paved the way and reinvented the sound, feel and approach of pop without ever steering too far off from its roots and core. In fact, for five decades the UK pop scene hasn’t peaked, it’s been on a constant high. This is the heritage and sound that the UK Pop EZX explores. 

Recorded in London’s famed RAK Studios by acclaimed session drummer Ash Soan (Adele, James Morrison, Ronan Keating) and Grammy Award­-winning engineer Mark Taylor (Rod Stewart, Cher, Daniel Bedingfield), already from the onset, the UK Pop EZX summarizes three vivid cornerstones of the UK pop scene. In addition to the four drum kits, extra snares and cymbals that were handpicked for the session, it also comes with seven carefully engineered presets, ensuring that the widest possible palette of sound is covered. 

From the tight and deep all round tone of the main ‘UK Pop’ preset to the intimate and dampened Beatles­esque ‘Tea Towels,’ the rowdy ‘Carnaby Street’ that hints of T. Rex, or the tight and snappy breakbeat-­inspired ‘Bristol Eyes,’ the UK Pop EZX covers a broad facet of the British pop wonder. These are drum tones inspired by nearly six decades of pop mastery, recorded in a landmark London studio by two of UK’s most sought after professionals. Past, present and now – all rolled up for use in your future productions.
