Medium Bounce (T, recorded at 110 BPM)
This style is a must for anyone trying to make jazz drums sound right.
Not an easy task... I give you the building blocks to a classic build-up
of a standard jazz song, from triplet based brushes to big band drum-
ming. When using this style in your song, try switching complexity lev-
els now and then. It'll add a healthy "random drummer" feeling. Jazz
ain't easy... RK
VariBossa (recorded at 110 BPM)
This is a traditional Bossa Nova groove that evolves into different
clave rhythms. It can be used both on soft pop tunes and traditional
Bossa Nova songs. Beware of the fills – they tend to go over the top
at times... RK
Rrrock (recorded at 110 BPM)
The title says it all, eh? Thanks to Gula Studion, this groove has be-
come incredibly useful as "rock backing with a live feel". Preferred vol-
ume setting: Loud! RK
Beguine Mix (recorded at 110 BPM)
Beguine Mix is a strange mix-up of various Latins style grooves. It's
hard to specify any real style really. Beguine with pop music touch,
maybe? Classic rumba played on an indie kit? You decide. Maybe we
should have called this one "Stop the Beguine" (as opposed to "Be-
gin the Beguine")...? RK
Jazz Ballad (T, recorded at 70 BPM)
I've never heard this style work properly on any sample CD. It's ex-
tremely hard to program. Here's the groove that will take your song to
the smoky jazz club around the corner. It also contains a so-called
Elvin Jones groove, meaning mallets playing triplets on the toms. Re-
ally useful when you need to broaden the horizons of your composi-
tion. RK
