| ADD TO CARTMix-ready drums, tailored for post-punk, dark rock and goth.
| ADD TO CARTThis EZX presents the perfect mosaic of drums for any production that calls for an extra bit of that grisly, ghastly and raw tint of dark rock, post-punk and goth. Where better to capture just that than in its very cradle, where pioneering acts like Bauhaus, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cult and many others struck chords that moved enough air to not only start a wave but also shape an entire sub-culture in its backwash? Welcome to the Into the Dark EZX and Rockfield, the world-famous Welsh dairy farm-turned-into-studio that has played an immense role in rock as we know it.
The Into the Dark EZX was recorded by multiple award-winning producer/mixer Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Rammstein, Pixies, Royal Blood) and drummer Mat Hector (Iggy Pop, Gutterdämmerung). It comes with three full drum kits as well as a bespoke set of cymbals and extra instruments derived from the Fields of Rock SDX. With the drums, the broad collection of presets engineered by Tom Dalgety as well as the custom MIDI library by Mat Hector, expect to get immersed in a monochrome journey that encapsulates the entire dark rock greyscale – from the blaring, raw and rebellious tones of post-punk to the dark, gruesome and macabre hue of industrial-tinged new wave and goth.
Just like an image would appear one-dimensional without shadows, a proper rock song would fall flat without some true grit. Are you ready to head into the dark? Enter at your own risk.
With more than a decade at the helm of the console and an already impressive list of records under his belt, it was his production on Royal Blood’s self-titled debut that broke Tom Dalgety’s name onto the international producing scene. The album shot straight to the top of the charts in not only in Tom’s and the band’s native UK, but it also gained massive traction in the US. Shortly after release, it had accumulated platinum sales and earned Tom his 1st mainstream award, the “Breakthrough Producer of the Year” at the UK’s Music Producers Guild. From there on out, Tom has literally been racking up awards back to back. In 2016, he was nominated for “British Producer of the Year” at the BRIT Awards as well as a number 1 hit on the Billboard Rock Album chart with the “Popestar” EP by Ghost. Over the next few years, he was nominated a second time for “UK Producer of the Year” and scored a Swedish Grammis as well as two Grammy Award nominations for “Best Rock Song” and “Best Rock Album” for his work with Ghost.
Known for his organic-sounding productions, ingenious and off-kilter recording techniques as well as his deep-rooted love for the craft, Tom continues to work at the apex of the rock world producing records for the top acts of today’s scene.
Aside from being the longtime timekeeper for Iggy Pop, UK native Mat Hector and his hard-hitting and distinctly edgy groove has found its way onto the star-studded live rock/film show spectacle Gutterdämmerung, tracks by Japanese superstar Hotei and recently, UK’s indie wonder Razorlight. He’s also worked with electro pop icon Thomas Dolby, completing several US and world tours as well as many of his recent records. In addition to being an in-demand drummer for both session work and tours, Mat is also a respected educator and teacher – privately as well as at one of Europe’s most respected music colleges, The Academy of Contemporary Music in the UK.
No matter if a song calls for a pummeling rock groove or a laid-back trainbeat, Mat can adapt. In terms of drumming and artistic expression, he is the textbook definition of versatility.

A portion of the material recorded for the Fields of Rock SDX was also configured as a separate EZX expansion, the Into the Dark EZX. In general terms, an EZX is best described as slimmed down version of an SDX, both in terms of number of instruments, available articulations, microphones and mixer channel options. An EZX is produced to provide a unique type of mix-ready sound while an SDX, in addition to its large pool of presets, features more raw and unprocessed drum tones. EZXs work with both EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 while SDXs are exclusive to Superior Drummer 3.
EZdrummer 3 or Superior Drummer 3 owner and looking for a mix-ready sound at the click of a button – go for an EZX.
Superior Drummer 3 owner looking for all the options you need to mix, match and design the kits of your wildest dreams – go for an SDX.
5 GB free disk space, 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended).
