You have a pretty impressive collection of snare drums and cymbals, tons of which were recorded for these EZXs. What was the selective process like? What sonic qualities did you go for?
Selecting drums for this wasn’t easy. The two kits in the Duality packs are my two main studio kits, so that was a no-brainer, but narrowing down the snares and cymbals was hard. Ultimately, I went with a very wide palette, to cover everything from old-school muffled sounds all the way to wide open and ringy sounds that take a bit more space and have a given place in modern productions. Some of the snares were easy to pick, like the snare that Adam in Vola refers to as my “secret weapon” snare, but sometimes I also had to choose between two favorites, which wasn’t easy. I also asked Alex to bring a snare or two of his own, one of them which I knew from the start I wanted in there.
