About the Special Agent styles
Rasmus Kihlberg gives a brief introduction to every style he recorded.
The "T" indicates a triplet or swing feel. The original recording tempo
is also indicated. As a general rule, the Special Agent styles can be
used in tempi 15% lower and 50% higher than the recorded tempo.
Example: "Four On Da Floor" can be used between 85 BPM and 150
BPM without sounding too unnatural.
Motown (recorded at 120 BPM)
Oh, how obvious it feels to include this style! It's a really classic style
found on numerous Motown records. We've tried to create a happy
marriage between the sound ideals from 1966 and 2006 here. I even
included some classic fills. Enjoy! RK
Four On Da Floor (recorded at 100 BPM)
Welcome to the 1980s! Try this style in songs where you want the
drums to dominate the sound. Plenty of kick drum here! Listen, and
you'll notice that there's always a kick drum playing with the snare
backbeats. RK
Slow Funk (recorded at 60 BPM)
16th based drumming, suitable for smooth ballads as well as quicker
tunes. Does this sound like it's inspired by a Chicago album from the
1980s? I think so. Try this in a Soul or R'n'B song to add a "live"
touch. RK
Indie Rock (recorded at 110 BPM)
A sloppy drummer style. Attitude is everything here. Rough and dirty.
I'd recommend adding lots of loud guitars to any song where this style
is used. RK
Rotterdam (recorded at 90 BPM)
Here's a variation on the old "Amsterdam" theme, meaning that the
bass drum plays a little more irregularly. It's also my salute to Mr. Jim
Keltner, a living legend indeed. Never a beat too many. Well, maybe a
crash cymbal at the end of a song... RK
