![]() ![]() When I contacted Mark about possibly using some of his drums for this session, he told me about his “Buddy kit” – a replica he built of the Slingerland * drum set that Buddy Rich was playing in the ’70s. ![]() His resume reads like a who’s who of A-list drummers that will make your head spin. Mark Arnold is a very well respected drum technician, drum builder and drum collector in Nashville TN. The EZX includes three fundamentally different kits: a bombastic-sounding, one-of-a-kind replica of Buddy Rich’s ’70s-era Slingerland * as well as two different renditions of a mid-‘70s Camco * – one with standard drum heads and one with toweled.Īll this, coupled with the powerful framework of EZdrummer, will give you an unprecedented sonic palette to help craft your ’70s-inspired rock for years to come. Today, restored to practically a museum of pristine 1970s recording gear, it serves as a training academy for Belmont University. The recording sessions were held at the Columbia Studio A in Nashville, one of the world’s most famed recording studios. The Seventies Rock EZX sets out to capture that scope – from the farthest end of epic, earth-shattering and reverberant down to classic, dampened and low-key. Still, both sounds were very much products attributed to the advances of recording technology. On the opposite end, acts like the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac took on a noticeably more polished production suit. On one end of the scale, bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who not only paved way for a new breed of loud, beat-driven rock – but also revitalized the drum hero of the jazz age and introduced a never-before-heard sonic ideal of big, massively saturated drums. The 1970s rock scene was one of diversity and constant reinvention. ![]()
