In studying the different music styles and rhythms of the Caribbean I made 63 different MIDI drum patterns. This pack has beats from Moombahton, Reggaeton, Dancehall, and Reggae. This collection of MIDI is perfect for creating a cool Riddim part to your drums, or making a new Reggae beat through dragging and dropping the MIDI file into your. Formatted for BFD3 ®, BFD2 ®, EZdrummer ®, Superior Drummer ®, Addictive Drums ®, Cakewalk ® Session Drummer ™, SSD4, Accent &.General MIDI Standard MIDI Files (all included) Includes two beats, waltzes, shuffles, train beats, ballads, bluegrass styles, country swing, and country rock styles at a wide variety of tempos.
You get 247 longer MIDI reggae drum loops recorded in 10 Tempos by professional session drummer Magnus Brandell. And just like all OddGrooves products, no stiff quantization has been applied. That’s a no-no in our world. These grooves are natural, raw-sounding and have that human feel that simply cannot be achieved with programmed beats. Use them with your favorite drum sampler and tune up the snare a bit for that almost timbale-like snare sound.
The Reggae Pack is arranged in Song Format to make life easier for producers and composers on a tight time schedule, and includes multiple variations of intros, verses, pre-choruses, choruses and outros/endings for each tempo.
I first discovered OddGrooves because a couple of the major drum groove makers did not have a good selection of 7/8 grooves. Their Seven Eight Pack helped me complete a song, “Lydian,” that switched between 7/8 and 6/8. I have since started working with their Reggae grooves that are excellent. Good Reggae grooves are also hard to fine but OddGrooves has them. Highly recommended and easy to install in your drum program. http://jmasno5.com/
“Some truly great drum patterns. The Reggae and New Orleans patterns are amazing!” www.muziktree.co.uk
I use Oddgrooves midi files for the authentic drummer feel and, strangely, to get away from the robotic MIDI drum loops of many many other providers. I love electronic buy understand that a hybrid of human and electro-beat is where it’s at. Oddgrooves is the best way to add a human to your electonic music. I can just synth-pop jam along with a real drummer or replace my robot beat by plonking a human drummer into my mix. It’s basically limitless – you’ve effectively hired a drummer. If you don’t know where to start, open an Oddgrooves midi set. I like the Latin and Reggae beats. https://deadeddy.com
