Customer testimonials:
“After checking out your very generous free loops, I purchased the Jazz Drums loops at an equally generous price. The performances are absolutely amazing, the extended loop lengths (up to 32 bars) are great for arranging tunes and solo sections and the trading fours blew me away, but what stole the show for me, were the snare drum performances — top notch jazz drumming with breathtaking ghosting and tasteful syncopation. This is a collection no owner of EZX Jazz can afford to be without. Thank you again.”

“What a find your website and grooves are! I’ve already used some Jazz Swing selections for inspiration in my music for an upcoming project. They are intricate and and have a natural feel, and the price couldn’t be fairer. I look forward to experimenting with more of your offerings. Keep it up, and keep me posted!”

“Outstanding For Practicing Jazz”
No matter if you are a beginner or professional jazz player you need to practice to either develop or keep your chops. And we all know how uninspiring it can be to practice to a metronome, so why not take this opportunity to have a professional jazz drummer available at all times?

Nice grooves. I have been using them in Logic Pro and even my first attempt was quite successful at creating a realistic live, spontaneous effect that I could not achieve clicking in basic drum patterns. Two requests for future, however: 1) While l do like the activity and the “chatter” of the grooves, it would also be good to have at least 8-bars each of several very basic swing patterns for those occasions when you want the drums to really recede into the background. 2) I do a lot of big-band arranging. It would be nice to have a series of fills that “set up” hits on beat 2, the “and” of 2, beat 3, etc. Also, I would like a series of hits on the “ands” of -2 & -4 as well as a series of hits on a dotted quarter cross rhythm. These are all common rhythms in the big band swing vocabulary. The fills on the tracks that I have worked with so far are all very nice in a free, combo-jazz style, but the fills don’t seem to be setting up specific hits or accents. I have to modify these fills whenever I want to set up or accent a particular rhythm. Nonetheless, I am sure that I will be downloading additional collections as my projects require them.
