OddGrooves Releases Reggae Drum Loops

Stockholm, Sweden August 31 2010

OddGrooves releases Reggae Drumming, a drum loop pack inspired by the great roots reggae drummers of the seventies. Reggae Drumming is arranged for Toontrack EZdrummer, Superior Drummer, XLN Audio Addictive Drums, Steven Slate Drums, Sonic Reality I-MAP and General MIDI.

Inspired by the great reggae drummers from the mid-seventies, MIDI drum loop production company OddGrooves releases Reggae Drumming – a MIDI drum loop pack arranged for several popular drum samplers.

According to drummer Magnus Brandell the goal with the Reggae Drumming pack was to “get into the soul” of the reggae drummers of the 70’s. Major sources of inspiration were among others Burning Spear, Peter Tosh and The Wailers.

OddGrooves CEO Per Ulfhielm says:
“While our background is mainly in the progressive rock genre, many of our customers have requested that we produce a set of high-quality reggae drum loops. There are plenty of audio loops in that genre out there but we saw the need for a high quality MIDI loops reggae pack that you can use with your own drum sampler and select the sounds that you want”.

Reggae Drumming features:

  • 247 [intlink id=”53″ type=”page”]Reggae Drum Loops[/intlink], predominantly roots reggae, but also reggae pop such as The Police and loops inspired by Frank Zappa’s classic reggae variations.
  • All drum loops are played live by a professional session drummer
  • The grooves are not quantized
  • All grooves are in song format to make life easier for composers and producers on a time schedule
  • Arranged for Toontrack EZdrummer/Superior Drummer, XLN Audio Addictive Drums, Sonic Reality I-MAP, Steven Slate Drums and General MIDI

Song Format

OddGrooves Reggae Drumming is designed in a “song format” structure, which enables composers and producers to quickly preview and put together a drum track without first having to go through countless MIDI files. The available song sections are:

  • Intro
  • Verse
  • Pre-chorus
  • Chorus
  • Outro/ending

The Reggae Drumming pack is priced at 27 US dollars. For more info, see [intlink id=”53″ type=”page”]reggae drum loops[/intlink].
