| twiddly bits - Reggae Grooves |
|
by - Dale Ockerman , Vince Black , Gary Regina "200 beats plus everything else you'll need from skanks to ska horns."Reggae's influence on popular music over the past three decades cannot be overstated. Aside from being a thriving - and still developing - scene itself, reggae has been central to development of, amongst others, rap, trance, and drum 'n' bass.Reggae Grooves reflects both reggae's creative breadth and its potential to musicians across a wide range of genres who simply want some reggae spin on their music - a beat, a skank, a bubbling bassline. What's On Offer:At its heart Reggae Grooves contain no less than 225 individual drum grooves, ranging from classic 1 drop feels, through to dancehall, lovers rock, and ska. As ever we have used a number of different specialist drummers in the production of these beats, reflecting both reggae's human and beatbox styles.In addition to the basic beats is a large collection of custom basslines, both guitar and keyboard skanks, guitar lead lines and pick parts, organ bubbles by the score, brass, and even some superb snakey Clavinet lines. Reggae is one of the most cut and paste friendly styles of music, and this collection has been designed to make compilation using solely parts from Reggae Grooves, as simple and yet inspirational as possible. Categories(and # of parts therein):DRUMS (225), BASS (150), GUITAR (117), ORGAN (73), CLAVINET (29), PIANO (42), BRASS (30).How And Who:The Material in this collection comes in Standard MIDI File (.MID) format, with GM drum mapping, Yamaha Motif pattern (.W2P) format, and Digital Performer's clippings format. Parts were played using many different controllers including MIDI drums and pads, Peavey MIDI Bass, Yamaha WX7, Yamaha G50, and a range of keyboards. Players and programmers include Dale Ockerman (Doobie Bros, Zigaboo Modeliste), Vince Black (Black Uhuru), Gary Regina, JJ Belle (Grace Jones), Jonn Savannah, (Squeeze, Van Morrison), Bob Ernest (Chronic Music), Camelle Hinds (Paul Weller), and Tim Siefert (The Yardies).Format/Delivery Options:* CD: PC and Mac compatable.
