Beta Monkey Music Releases Natural Grooves Sample CD

July 19, 2004

If you do rock, pop, or blues, a pure live drum sound is absolutely
essential. However, the tight, crisp sound of an unadulterated drum kit can
be hard to find these days as so many drum loop collections offer heavily-processed,
even unnatural-sounding drum kit sounds. In response, Beta Monkey Music's
Natural Grooves offers only pure, clean, natural acoustic grooves and was created
with one purpose in mind: to give the artist complete control over the drum
sound and drum track construction.

With grooves, groove variations, fills, (intros, breakdowns, endings), and
ride patterns, Natural Grooves lays down the foundation for a wide variety
of musical styles: rock, pop, alt and modern rock, and blues. And, unlike random
loop libraries where drum sounds vary greatly, Natural Grooves features a unified
collection of drum kit sounds taken from the same recording session. Having
consistent drum sounds throughout the disc insures total compatibility and
allows artists many more options to mix and match loops from different styles,
feels, or even tempos.

Beta Monkey Music's Natural Grooves also gives users an array of single hit
drum and cymbal samples, taken from the exact recording session used to create
the loop sets. A full multi-velocity sample kit as well as samples from seven
different Zildjian and Sabian cymbals is also included on the disc. Create
your own complete drum tracks with the sample kit alone or use it to augment
the Natural Grooves loops. Once again, the greatest advantage of Natural Grooves
is that it allows the artist complete control over the drums, be it in terms
of sounds or in actual drum track construction.
