The Pop Punk EZX was recorded at the personal studio of John Feldmann, a Los Angeles-based producer/engineer/mixer who’s had a monumental impact on the last couple of decades of popular music.
The EZX includes three full kits, all capturing that larger-than-life and all-American radio-friendly sound of the commercial and hook-driven pop punk music that has been a mainstay since acts like Blink-182, Simple Plan and Green Day broke onto the scene around the turn of the millennium.
Welcome to a collection drum sounds, tailored for high-end pop punk and ready for the airwaves.

THE DRUMS.
The Pop Punk EZX comes with three full kits, all handpicked by John himself. For details on cymbals as well as additional snares and instruments, see full instrument list below.
ORANGE COUNTY KIT.
This direct and punchy-sounding Orange County set is Feldmann’s house kit that he’s used extensively over the past years. “It’s the best kit I’ve ever used, and I’ve definitely used a lot of legendary drums,” says John Feldmann. Can it get more pop punk than this, we wonder?
SJC TOUR KIT.
With a roster that includes the who’s-who in modern pop punk, hardcore and rock, SJC has become a mainstay brand for custom and handcrafted boutique drums of the highest quality among top artists of the genre. This specific kit was a given for the Pop Punk EZX. It has that edgy and sharp, defined tone that cuts through in any mix.
SJC HEIRLOOM KIT.
Similar to its sibling but with a slightly wilder tone to it, this kit is the perfect complement for the full SJC experience. “Mike at SJC has been so kind over the years and he’s a really good friend of mine. He’s so hyper-focused on the way his drums sound, how they look and the whole thing,” John says.
