30 kits and three libraries, tailored for experimental sound design and creative beat making.
| ADD TO CART30 kits and three libraries, tailored for experimental sound design and creative beat making.
| ADD TO CARTIn this EZX, three parallel sonic worlds collide and converge in a multi-dimensional display of organic, electronic and viscerally evocative sounds. Presenting a total of 30 unique kits distributed across three conceptually different libraries, this is an all-encompassing collection of multi-spatial sounds designed to live in a nameless divide where genres, styles or narratives are secondary. Frankly, this is an EZX for fearless exploration – loaded with sounds that have the power to awaken the senses.
The Elements EZX was produced, engineered and mixed by visionary sound design artist Alex Shulga. It features a carefully curated collection of analog drum machines and vintage synths layered with live percussion, field recordings and organic sounds involving anything from ice hitting a frozen lake to birds, dolphins and whales. Each sound was individually mixed and run through its own unique chains of outboard, effects and treatments to ensure that every single sample in a kit had its own harmonic space reserved. To add, each kit has a bespoke architecture of macro controls available in the mixer, enabling you to finesse its overall vibe as well as sample lengths and additional effect saturation on an instrument level. All in all, this EZX presents the absolute highest echelon of sound design and touches the very fringes of what can be done with extreme audio engineering.
In addition to the sounds, a collection of MIDI grooves tailored for each kit is provided, allowing you to hit the ground running on the way to your next beat.
From the fathomless and multi-spatial haze of the Black Hole and Space libraries to the deep, warm and engaging sounds of the Earth kits, this EZX gives you three out-of-this-world libraries with sounds that are familiar but still just as peculiar – kits that are airy, light and soothing but at the same time just as ominously haunting. This is an EZX in which you can’t put your finger on what you’re hearing, but you can feel it.
If you’re creatively natured and looking for a collection of sounds and kits unlike anything you have used before, this one’s for you. Prepare to be inspired.
This EZX expansion requires EZdrummer 3 or Superior Drummer 3.

Five questions to Alex Shulga, engineer/producer/mixer and sound designer.
If you were to explain the sounds and kits of this project in just a few sentences, how would you put it?
I would describe the sound as an experimental blend of electronic and organic percussive textures, surrounded by deep multidimensional spaces. One kit can contain sounds from five to seven different iconic drum machines and synths layered with live instruments and sounds of nature. This mix of audio elements gives the sounds their natural, involving 3D feeling.
Black Hole, Space and Earth – three libraries, each with its own very specific theme. Why did you go in these directions?
It’s like zooming out from our tangible reality into infinity. We start from the place we all know, the Earth, and go into the unknown, which is Space. Black Hole symbolizes the reality we can’t see or touch, it’s the mystery that connects each atom of our Universe. That was an inspiration for each library.
Field recordings blended with machines and even layers of dolphin, bird and whale sounds in some of these samples. How and why?
I started experimenting with such multi-layering around ten years ago for my project Sound Kalpa. I was searching for the unique blends, where one can’t say where the sound originally came from. The goal was to create sounds that contain the best from both worlds: cosmic depth and spatiality from electronics as well as organic frequencies, we, as humans, have been surrounded by for millions of years.
When creating the sounds, you didn’t only rely on digital tools – you also used a lot of analog outboard. Why was this a key factor for this project?
From the very start I decided to go analog as much as possible, using no VSTs and almost no plugins. All machines and synths went through constantly changing complex analog chains, tape delays and different vintage reverbs or acoustic spaces. Nowadays many plugins sound really good, but there is some magic about the sound that travels through wires, tubes and transformers. I can’t put it into words, it’s rather about how it feels.
