1963 Train Beat
This is a style where the drummer has to work hard with the snare
drum. It works well in country and rock'n'roll songs and will give your
music a "busy" feeling. PS
1964 Tamla
For this style I was inspired by the rock classic "Pretty Woman". This
rhythm was also frequently used by artists on the legendary Tamla
Motown label. There can't be a better way to start an up-tempo song,
than with a snare drum pounding the beat! PS
1965 Soul
This style is influenced by some of the groovy drummers behind
James Brown. MEB
1966 Pop
High energy pop drumming at your service! Fave tempo is 146 BPM.
These rhythms were created to inspire all the other boys in the band.
Pop drumming is the motor to a popcycle, with fill-ins from corny to
rocket fuel. Can you find the two-bar fill going from A to Z and back
again? Happy ride! dB
* Steady Beat
Here's a very basic style that suits almost any tempo. It's perfect when
you need a steady drummer who doesn't do any unexpected exercises,
someone who never flips out, someone who's not into impressing any-
one – but just plays. Plays a steady beat. This style can also be used if
you want something with a triplet feeling. Just turn the Shuffle-knob to
the right and you will have a steady Shuffle-beat. MEB
1967 Backbeat
This is the perfect up-tempo style. The drumming is pretty intense and
it doesn't stop to catch its breath, and maybe that is why it's very easy
to create a dance friendly song based on this groove. PS
