TOONTRACK TWISTED KIT EZX EXPANSION (FOR EZ DRUMMER)

Toontrack TWISTED KIT EZX Expansion Pack for EZ Drummer

In collaboration with Michael Blair and Sontronics Microphones, Toontrack Music announces the ''Twisted Kit EZX by Michael Blair''. In October of 1985 Tom Waits released the album Rain Dogs. The album was an instant classic and marked a new sound for him. A rough, dirty neo-blues style with awkward rhythms and hard edges. Part of the sound was drummer and percussionist, Michael Blair. His set-up included a mix of regular drums and odd bits and pieces like trashcans, bedroom furniture and rusty bicycle frames which fitted in perfectly with the sound that Waits was looking for. The combination of Michael's timing, expression, and junkyard sounds created a rich and useful range of musical textures to accent Waits' intricate storytelling.

Twisted Kit EZX - About the Drummer

Michael Blair played and toured with Waits on Franks Wild Years, the follow up to Rain Dogs, and later became an integral part of the recordings for Elvis Costello’s Spike (1989) and Lou Reed's Magic and Loss (1992). Spike became Costello’s most commercially successful and sonically adventurous album to date. Michael also has added his trash-can consciousness to records by the respected producer Hal Willner, in ''tribute'' albums celebrating the work of composer Kurt Weill, poet Allen Ginsberg, Walt Disney, Charles Mingus and in collaboration with avant-theatre director Robert Wilson.

Twisted Kit EZX - Drummer Review

In a review of Lou Reed's poignant Magic And Loss album, David Fricke from Rolling Stone magazine wrote the following about Michael Blair’s work:

“Drummer Michael Blair is an almost invisible presence, combining lithe percussive flourishes with the heartbeat simplicity of Maureen Tucker's timekeeping with the Velvets.”
