Songwriter Series Vol. 1: Uptempo Grooves
$17.00
The Uptempo Pack is the first product in the OddGrooves Songwriter Series product line, which is aimed at (surprise!) songwriters who want professionally played, easy-to-use straight-ahead grooves without too much complexity or weirdness.
The inspiration for the uptempo grooves came from songs such as I’m Still Standing by Elton John, I’m So Excited by The Pointer Sisters, Walking on Sunshine by Katrina & the Waves and You’re the One that I Want from the Grease Soundtrack, sung by Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.

I make music which is used in productions all over this big, round ball. I always buy the latest Oddgrooves to keep up a good stock of interesting and useful parts because there’s no way I’m going to get a drummer in here and get set up and get anywhere near the sound and solid playing in the 15 minutes it will take me to slap some cool Oddgrooves performance on a good drum V.I.
The people at Oddgrooves *think* about the parts and don’t just give you that 2 bar clip and then move on to a completely unrelated two bars. No way man! These are player’s grooves and they just work very well because they have Feel, with a capital “F”. Okay then, buy it.

Top, top stuff as always from OG. Considered, powerful, subtle, real … without doubt the best grooves out there!

I own most of the Oddgrooves packs. I use them with Toontrack products, along with MANY Toontrack MIDI packs. Odd grooves packs, including this one, are among the best available – highly recommended. I look forward to the next release.

These are great high tempo songwriting grooves. If you’re like me, you like writing higher tempo songs, but might not have many good midi grooves in that bpm range. This pack fits that need. I mainly use with Addictive Drums 2, EZD, or GM, but they come in several other formats. This is a quality pack for songwriting. I appreciate Oddgrooves putting these together for songwriters.
