Product Description

• In the world of electronic music we often hear producers talk about the ‘groove’ or ‘rhythm’ of a piece of music
• especially when it comes to sequencing drums and percussion. If you have ever tried to sequence a shaker or tambourine line from static samples you will know that getting that ‘human feel’ can be difficult. Producers will often mix and layer sequenced drum hits with recorded live percussion to create ‘human-sounding’ drum tracks with more groove
