The Kits

With Eloy Drums, there are two full drum kits included, along with a total of 12 different snare options between them. These kits cover the two main eras of Eloy’s career so far. Both kits include two kick drum tunings and 6 snare options.

Kit 1 - Casagrande

There’s no masking the insane talent of Eloy behind the kit. Drawing inspiration from Eloy’s setup used with Slipknot, this kit is larger than life and filled with pent-up grit and aggression. Go big or go home? Bogren went big...

Kit includes

• Tama Starclassic Bubinga kit
• 2 kick drums, with two separate tunings
• 5 toms
• 6 snare options
• 11 Paiste cymbal pieces, plus an additional 40” symphonic gong

Kit 2 - Casagroove

This kit draws strength and power from Eloy’s roots in São Paulo, Brazil, influenced by Eloy’s time in Sepultura. You can’t have light without darkness, impact without restraint. This kit offers an intimate, stripped-back setup featuring the essence of Eloy Casagrande’s style and sound. It’s a minimal setup with maximum impact.

Kit includes

• Pearl and DW shells
• 2 kick drum tunings, with separate double pedal articulations
• 4 toms
• 6 snare options
• 8 Paiste cymbal pieces

A magical drum room

The Fascination Street Studios drum room is purpose built, has 23 feet (7 meters) high ceilings, and no parallel surfaces. It's the real deal.

Painstakingly crafted to Jens Bogren's personal and incredibly meticulous specifications, this live room offers a sound like no other. There is no substitute for a great drum room and there is no better place to record drums than at Fascination Street Studios.

Smart tools included

Create lifelike drum performances, with Bogren Digital’s proprietary Anti-Machinegun feature, which intelligently adds variation to fast consecutive drum hits to avoid the unnatural machinegun effect.

With the Auto Double Kick feature, you no longer have to ask how a real drummer would play those fast kick runs – Auto Double Kick will automatically and organically distribute fast patterns across both kicks when required, saving you time and making the performance more natural.
