These are not the 80s drum sounds of Megadeth, Sepultura, Metallica and so forth, but the dense and present modern sounds of bands like Arch Enemy, Meshuggah, Nevermore, Shadows Fall and the like. DFH samples cut through any mix as they are very present and “in your face”, as what I would call more modern. In this case, DFH was a very welcome addition to my metal drum programming kit. I always felt that the programmed beats lacked some flair and felt rigid. All of these methods involved long hours and a lot of expletives coming from my studio room. The first one is the main library and the second category features the midi performance files from the featured guest drummers.īefore DFH I had to program my own metal samples via either tapping them on a midi grid or using an Alesis SR-16 and a Boss DR 880 drum machines. The midi performance files show up under two separate categories, listed under grooves: “EZX Drumkit from Hell” and “EZX Drumkit from Hell Guests”. I personally couldn't discern any genre differences, as the Death Kit could work just as well in thrash and vice versa. The kits that come as presets with DFH are Default Kit, Metal Kit, Thrash Kit, Death Kit and Basic Kit. After installation, when you fire EZDrummer in your DAW or in standalone mode, a new menu item called “Drumkit From Hell” shows up under the EZX dropdown menu. Installation is fairly straightforward with a challenge/response scheme, same as described in our review of EZDrummer. DFH is compatible with VST, Audio Units and RTAS plugin standards. In order to run DFH you also need a working EZdrummer® or Superior Drummer® 2.0 installation, as DFH is essentially a sound and midi library that runs on these engines.
