Eloy Casagrande's signature drum library

This is an all-out, packed-with-features celebration of Eloy Casagrande’s drumming brilliance. Eloy’s unrelenting energy and musicality combine with Jens Bogren’s wealth of engineering skill and experience to create something magical.

• Two iconic kits in one library, with 12 distinct snare options

• Top-tier drum sounds, recorded in a world-class Fascination Street Studios
• Samples and over 150 MIDI grooves performed by Eloy Casagrande
• Engineered by Jens Bogren for uncompromising drum sounds

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? We went big…

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.

Full Mix Capability

Eloy Drums just WORK. The included presets offer a variety of mix-ready setups so you can focus on everything else. Alternatively, dive deep into the fully customisable mixer and studio-grade effects. You have all you need — a full mixer, compression, EQ, transient shaping, and saturation modules with vintage FET circuits and vibey hardware tape machines.

Custom samples

Both kits have dedicated trigger channels for the kicks and snares. Blend hand-picked samples from the Jens Bogren Signature Drum Samples pack and your own custom one-shots, all without leaving the instrument!

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.

There is no substitute for a great drum room and there is no better place to record drums than at Fascination Street Studios.

Eloy Casagrande

Eloy Casagrande is quickly becoming one of the most popular metal drummers, fueled by his energy, likable character, and incredible feel and technique behind the kit. Casagrande joined Sepultura in November 2011. He recorded three albums with the band before his departure in February 2024. Casagrande is also known for his time with power metal vocalist Andre Matos, White Metal Brazilian band Iahweh, and post-hardcore/metalcore band Gloria, and has a project called Casagrande & Hanysz with guitarist João Hanysz. In April 2024, Slipknot officially confirmed that Casagrande would be joining the band. His first show was on April 25, 2024, at Pappy & Harriet's Palace in California, USA. In 2024, Eloy Casagrande was voted Best Metal Drummer by Drumeo and in Modern Drummer magazine's Readers' Poll.
