Beta Monkey Music Releases Natural Grooves Sample CD
 July 19, 2004
If you do rock, pop, or blues, a pure live drum sound is absolutely
essential. However, the tight, crisp sound of an unadulterated drum kit can be hard to find these days as so many drum loop collections offer
heavily-processed, even unnatural-sounding drum kit sounds. In response, Beta Monkey Music's Natural Grooves offers
only pure, clean, natural acoustic grooves and was created with one purpose
in mind: to give the artist complete control over the drum sound and drum
track construction.
With
grooves, groove variations, fills, (intros, breakdowns, endings), and ride
patterns, Natural Grooves lays down the foundation for a wide
variety of musical styles: rock, pop, alt and modern rock, and blues. And, unlike random loop libraries
where drum sounds vary greatly, Natural Grooves features a unified
collection of drum kit sounds taken from the same recording session. Having
consistent drum sounds throughout the disc insures total compatibility and
allows artists many more options to mix and match loops from different
styles, feels, or even tempos.
Beta Monkey Music's Natural Grooves also gives users an array
of single hit drum and cymbal samples, taken from the exact recording
session used to create the loop sets. A full multi-velocity sample kit as
well as samples from seven different Zildjian and Sabian cymbals is also
included on the disc. Create your own complete drum tracks with the sample
kit alone or use it to augment the Natural Grooves loops. Once again, the
greatest advantage of Natural Grooves is that it allows the artist complete
control over the drums, be it in terms of sounds or in actual drum track
construction.
