November is (still) Metal Month at Toontrack, and Animal As Leaders drummer Matt Garska joins the party with this Metal Fusion MIDI bank.
Matt Garstka (from progressive metal pioneers Animals as Leaders) is described as “one of the most technically proficient and versatile drummers in today’s metal scene”. So, you can expect intricate grooves that touch on jazz, soul and gospel – all of course infused by the unmistakable traits of true, hard-hitting metal.
According to Toontrack, this collection of grooves is aimed at any writer of progressive metal or heavy rock who doesn’t mind being challenged or thrown off at times, with refined finesse blended with an outburst of creativity.
Designed to work with EZdrummer, EZdrummer 2 and Superior Drummer 2, this MIDI bank is optimized for sets including 1 kick, 1 snare, 1 tom, 1 floor tom, 2 crash cymbals and 1 ride cymbal.
Features include:
• Drum grooves & fills played by Matt Garstka (Animals as Leaders)
• A total of 371 individually played files
• Song structure categorization in each song folder (intro, verse, chorus, bridge etc)
• 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4 variations in straight and/or swing feel
• Tempos ranging from 86 to 172 BPM
MSRP is €25. More details (including audio demos using diverse EZXs/SDXs) available at www.toontrack.com.
