This is the Nashville expansion for the EZDrummer Sample library. It was recorded in the Sound Kitchen studio in Nashville, TN! It’s an extraordinary sample pack from Toontrack, the makers of Superior Drummer 2.0 and EZdrummer.

Now you can have the sounds of Nashville where you go!

Mikey is playing the RET Percussion Fusion Pro-CX electronic drum set in the Custom Cherry finish. If you’re looking for something more than a triggering kit, this is the high-end (not high priced) option to go with.

Alesis Trigger I/O, Presonus FireBox, Smartrigger Electronic Cymbals, Evans Drum heads, Alienware Laptop also used here.

I was honored by an invitation to join R.E.T. Percussion in introducing the first software based, custom shop drum kit at the 2008 NAMM show. We were all proud to release the latest in electronic percussion, the Virtual Percussion Technology Package. This next generation design recreates the real feel of an acoustic drum in an electronic instrument, triggering great software sounds like BFD and EZDrummer.

We’ve got many more videos and LOTS of information for you!

Featured in this video: Mikey Marcial (MikeyVPT), Tony Royster Jr., David Palmer (Rod Stewart), Brett Batdorf, Scott Speer (RET Client), and a few others.

This is the First response in the Virtual Percussion Technology Vlog series. In this video, you will find my answers to the following questions:

1. Which electronic drum kit do you use?

2. Should I go with a cheap kit?

3. Why is RET Percussion better than Roland?

4. Why doesn’t my V-Drum kit work well with the Alesis Trigger IO?

5. Why use VPT over standard electronic drumming?

As always, please continue to send the questions! I know how hard it is to find information out there on edrum topics, so if there’s anything you’d like to know, just ask!

This is going to be a fun line of videos! Maybe one day, this series will be featured on Youtube!
