EW DrumX

DrumX represents a unique collaboration between one of the most successful hitmakers in music history and one of the industry’s leading developers of music production software.

By combining Jimmy Jam’s legendary groove sensibility with EastWest’s award-winning sound design, DrumX delivers a new approach to beat creation — one that focuses on the element that makes records unforgettable: the groove.

“Groove is the foundation of every great record,” said Jimmy Jam. “With DrumX, producers can start with grooves that already feel great, and then build their own ideas from there.”

DrumX brings together 10 iconic drum machines — the TR-808, TR-909, TR-606, LinnDrum, LM-1, DR-55, DR-110, DMX, DrumTraks, and SP-12 — faithfully captured and ready to shape, layer, and push into new sonic territory, joined by a curated set of exclusive custom samples Jimmy Jam created for DrumX. With a powerful step sequencer, deep sound design tools, a professional effects chain, and hundreds of exclusive grooves, DrumX gives you everything you need to build beats that move people.

DrumX transcends eras. From the neon pulse of 80s Pop to the intensity of modern EDM, it includes onboard tools to shape any groove in any style — the only limit is your imagination.
