With sounds recorded in legendary studios like New York´s Hit Factory, London´s 2Khz Studio or where Nashville´s A-list clientele go, Blackbird Studios, the Pop! EZX is the culmination of years of relentless recordings and a true testament to the company´s search for the perfect sound.

The Pop! EZX comes with a collection of ten mixed and matched drum kits delicately intertwined with custom percussion pieces. The result is an awe-inspiring and genre-defying battery tailored for anything from rock to pop and dance.
