THE HEARTBEAT OF YOUR SONG.
Basic, sturdy grooves covering the essentials of country drumming.

In a country song, nothing contends with the vocal. Probably more so than in any genre, it completely bathes in the center stage limelight. But just like in any kind of music, all instruments in a song work in each other’s favor. Without the guitars or the piano, the vocal would fall flat. And especially in uptempo music, a song without the proper groove or rhythm section would have no heartbeat. This collection of MIDI focuses on just that – basic, sturdy drum grooves that can serve as the backbone in a mix without overpowering any other element. This is drum MIDI with just the right amount of flash to fall straight into place.

A NEW WAVE OF IDEAS.
Piano and keyboard variations inspired by the new wave of synth-driven pop predominant in the ’80s.

While stemming from the post-punk era of the late ‘70s but eventually becoming more and more synonymous with the budding synth-pop scene of the early ’80s, the catch-all use of the term “new wave” has been subject to debate and stylistic confusion. However, monumental success of acts like Alphaville, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and a host of others in many ways claimed the genre, making their synth-driven pop the predominant soundtrack in the ’80s and well into the ‘90s.
