Modern Pop Grooves

Product Description

Modern Pop Grooves is a MIDI pack from Toontrack featuring drum grooves and fills inspired by modern pop, dance and EDM. Performed by a session drummer, it brings a real, human feel straight into EZdrummer 2 or Superior Drummer 3.

"I wanted to create a MIDI pack with grooves that had that tight pocket-feel to them," says Norman Garschke. "Each groove works as is, but in modern pop productions, a lot of times a drum beat is comprised of several elements outside of what one may consider a traditional drum groove. The beauty of MIDI and working within Toontrack's software is the limitless possibilities to change, rearrange and combine bits and pieces to come up with unique variations. Take the hi-hat element from one of the grooves and mix with a programmed kick and snare beat, add a shaker or an electronic component and you have the best of both worlds. I think this collection is ideal for that type of experimentation," says Norman Garschke.

Welcome to a collection of grooves and fills, perfect for any curious and creative songwriter looking for a palette of new foundational ideas.

"I think one of the biggest challenges in modern pop productions is to keep the human feel. Starting with full drum grooves, or elements thereof, performed by a real drummer is a great advantage," says Norman.

Since it's MIDI data, you're free to change the sound source. Apply an acoustic kit and you get one feel, change it up with an electronic kit or any other sounds at your disposal and you end up with something completely different. Mix, match, change and rearrange, the framework is set by EZdrummer 2 or Superior Drummer 3, the rest is up to your imagination.
