** Jillie Bean
This style is inspired by the two world famous pop songs Billie Jean
and Thriller by Michael Jackson. It features a cool, straight pop groove
with a 8th feel that begins Jacko and ends Whacko. FvW
** Mad:ish
The grooves in this style come from some of the most captivating Ma-
donna songs. The beats are very basic with some small variations in
the grooves that makes the style so "floory". After a couple of days
with Madonna tunes in my headphones, I finally realised the greatness
of her music. MEB
Rock
Bonzo
This style is, as the name suggests, to some extent inspired by the late
great John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, perhaps the most influential hard
rock drummer. I suggest you turn the Ambience dial up to at least 2
o'clock to get that big heavy feel. The patterns A to E are intended to
emulate Mr. Bonham's habit of playing the drum kit with his bare
hands. To achieve this effect, Percussion 2 should be activated for
these patterns. Percussion 1 is supposed to sound like a tambourine
attached to the hihat. The complexity increases from pattern 1-10 with
hihat and then it starts over for Pat 11-20 with ride. The Half Tempo
Feel patterns have small snare triplet things going on that are not
found in the regular patterns.
Although perhaps not environmentally correct, some songs just call
for being run on leaded fuel. MD
Dark Side
It never ceases to amaze me how you can sell so many records and
play so few notes. There's a fair amount of inspiration from Pink
Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album in this style, well suited for
slow songs. SB
