New Drum Sample CD Released

Introducing a whole new series of sample CDs designed to provide a comprehensive range of musically integrated performances and multi-samples of the highest quality.

Starting with the first in the series - Drums - this lays the foundations for a range of tempo and styles to which the percussion, bass and guitar CDs will match. This will enable a drum loop from the series to be placed together with a percussion pattern, bass figure, and finally, guitar riff all at the same tempo and style making the creation of entire rhythm sections quick and easy. The key concept is musicality with an emphasis on inspirational no-nonsense playing, solid grooves and useful fills and variations.

The Groove Masters Drum CD features the top professional Danish drummer Mads Michelsen who has played on no less than 150 records and is much sought after for his talent across a range of playing styles.

Firmly rooted in Rock, Pop, Funk and Disco styles, Groove Masters Drums offers a huge range of grooves and feelings expertly played and captured for your sampling pleasure - naturally all 100% license free.

The percussion, bass and guitar CDs will follow this formula, each having their own unique features. For example on the drums CD, many of the beats also appear without bass drum allowing for easier integration of the loops into compositions. The bass CD will use a special technique enabling the tempo to be changed without affecting the pitch - no more laborious and dubious time stretching.

As an indication of what to expect for the rest of the range this is what you'll find on the Groove Masters Drum CD:

• 2 CDs filled with more than 900 Mb of true stereo drums featuring a huge array of kit sounds
• Over 900 loops
• More than 650 single hits
• Complete samples of 3 entire professional drum kits & cymbals
• A fantastic FX section with loops treated with phasers, flangers and vintage guitar amps - a must to be heard.

A free tempo section covers an even wider range of tempo and styles providing inspiration for all tastes and needs, again with each style having it's own tailor made sound.

Disk 2 contains specially recorded single hits from the kits used on disk 1 -- various stroke strengths, cross sticks, brush and mallet samples and crescendos and banks of cymbal samples from splash to crash to china - a drummer's delight. Of course there is also a section featuring single samples from the fantastic FX banks - truly funky.
