Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi page 89

** Wonderland (T)
The inspiration to this style comes from some of the best Stevie Won-
der songs. It's a mixture of some of his classic grooves that have be-
come part of many good drummer's "musical libraries". This one is
played with a 16th note triplet feeling. MEB
Dance Floor
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
Soul
This style is influenced by some of the groovy drummers behind
James Brown. MEB
Disco
In the early 1970's, the disco era began. In April 1976, the famous
New York club Studio 54 took disco-ing to a higher level, but it was
the movie Saturday Night Fever that spread the hustling world wide.
The drums may sound muffled and some of the fills are kind of cheesy,
but that is the charm of this style. When mixed with the rest of the
band, this beat makes a nice and funky dance groove. So bring out
your bell-bottom pants and your platform shoes, grow some hair on
your chest, put on a satin shirt slashed to the waist and get down on
it! FvW
* Bombay Dance Hall (T)
It's the third millennium global dance hall beat. Could be London,
could be Bombay, could be Sollentuna. It doesn't really matter, as
long as everybody is having a good time. Some artists marry this style
to Reggae, others to Hip Hop. It's all around and it's up to you. Try
adding or subtracting ambience to the different instruments to vary
the sense of space. NE
