1.3.0 About the Team

Behind every great instrument is the team that brought it to life. DrumX is the result of a collaboration that bridges cutting-edge sound design with four decades of hitmaking — a partnership between EastWest, the most critically acclaimed virtual instrument developer in the world, and Jimmy Jam, one of the most successful producers in music history.

What sets DrumX apart isn’t just the machines it captures — it’s the people who shaped every sound, every groove, and every detail. The production expertise of Doug Rogers, Eden Nagar, and Blake Rogers is combined with Jimmy Jam’s deep, intuitive understanding of how these drum machines truly behave — the feel, the swing, the pocket — woven into every groove preset and every carefully tuned sample. Together they make DrumX a standard of quality and authenticity that simply can’t be replicated.

This section introduces the producers and artists behind DrumX — and the unique collaboration that makes this instrument one of a kind.
