“My first experience with OddGrooves was purchasing the New Orleans Drumming pack. I was very pleased with this. I was looking for second line grooves for original material I was writing – this is not easy to find. I was very pleased that OddGrooves had something like this available. ”

Second Line Drumming
Second Line Drumming has its roots in the traditional New Orleans brass bands and combines lots of snare rolls and buzzes with a very relaxed time feel. The Second Line grooves include different variations such as dixie and march.
“New Orleans Feel”
These grooves are inspired by the second line clave with that elusive in-between-swing-and-straight feel.
New Orleans Funk
This more modern, syncopated approach to the New Orleans drumming style works great for funk, pop and some rockier music.
Hey Bo D!
While not a New Orleans native, the rhythm made popular by the man with the square guitar is closely related to the New Orleans style.

I took a blind (or deaf, if you will) chance on this package when I was in a bind for a tv score. Score is the operative word here: these grooves are outstanding. Thank you for being here when I needed you… and for providing such a remarkably live set of files. I’ll be back!

Top Set for Dixie, if used in double Time or a faster Best.
But the most Licks let you find some new impression for music – great !

Great pack of New Orleans grooves! I’m from New Orleans and have played music here for 50+ years. These have great feel and timing. Syncopation is great, too!

The beats sound good, and have a good groove. They’ve helped me lay down a nice background for some songs I’m working on. They sound super natural.
I would give this 5 stars, but the midi files do not seamlessly import into Cakewalk Sonar – Session Drummer 3, which I’ve been using for 30+ years.
