Reggae (T)
This is a triplet based version of reggae usually played with sidestick.
The sound of the drums is very dry. When we recorded these drum
samples for Groove Agent, sound engineer Jens Bogren turned
around, looked at us and asked: "Do you really want it to sound like
that?". We nodded. MEB
TexMex
I once played a song to Sven with a strange, loose kind of drumming
together with bass, piano and slide guitar. It sounded a bit like a not-
so-very-well-rehearsed-gig in a small restaurant somewhere on the
borderline between Texas and Mexico. "This is very weird and very
cool", Sven said. "We have to include this in Groove Agent". "OK!".

World Ethno
Take one big, wide pad, one fretless bass and one electric guitar play-
ing 8ths through a delay unit, and you'll find yourself in a "world/
ethno" kind of ambience that'll make you say "Manu"?!? JS
* Roots
Roots, rock, reggae. The percussionist – playing big bottles and a vi-
bra-slap – is free-wheeling through the different complexity levels,
whereas the drummer goes from simple to busy. He's using rim-shot
already on some mid levels, so selecting the "Sidestick" function will
make him play a deep fur-drum accordingly. Enough of tech-talk, it's
time to quote the old rasta in Trench-town who once said: "It's like
football. It's there. It's in your knees...". NE
** 3/4 Nordic Woods (T)
Influenced by the woods up in the north and mixed with some heavy
folklore grooves, the "3/4 Nordic Woods" started to take shape on my
computer. The style starts with some simple beats that take you out
alone in the dark woods, where you hear some drumbeats coming
from far away. Then the style grows into some rather complex grooves
at the end of the journey, all played in 3/4 time. MEB
