Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi page 95

Slick
This style is a 16th note based beat, inspired by the sessions re-
corded in L.A. around 1980, with master drummers like Jeff Porcaro
and John Robinson. Actually, the beat itself isn't very innovative, but
it's too representative for this great genre to leave it out. A slow tempo
is a must for this style. Favorite tempo range is 73-88 bpm. FvW
Breakbeat
Wirebird shouted "HEEEELP" from deep down in "the Pixelmine",
when he created that fabulous front panel. I said "With what?". "With
breakbeats!", he shouted from below. "You mean dirty, groovy, kind of
playing-too-much à la Chemical Brothers?". "Yep!". "Yo, I'll do it!!", I
replied. And while you're at it, dear user, why don't you run the whole
thing through some nice distortion. JS
LA Shuffle (T)
Somewhere around complexity level 15 you will find a sibling to a girl
called Rosanna. All over these grooves you will hear a whole bunch of
her relatives from earlier decades, also known as ghost notes. Tiny
triplets in between, especially from the snare drum, that add a fine
masked web to a sturdy, laidback foundation. A slick style, yeah! Not
to be used in a too high BPM environment! 78 is perfect! dB
Westcoast
This is the beat many drummers would play if you told them to just
cruise at 98 Bpm. A straight "perfect-day-for-going-to-the-beach"
groove with influences from modern gospel music and contemporary
pop/rock beats. FvW
Fusion
The inspiration for this busy style comes from some of the fusion
records of the early nineties. MEB
