Drum MIDI Sixties Pop Grooves

Pop-Drums aus den 60er Jahren

Der Übergang von Rhythm and Blues, Rock 'n' Roll und Soul zu einem offeneren Sound ist in der Pop-Ära der 60er Jahre eine verschwommene Linie, wenn es um das Schlagzeug geht. Plötzlich waren die Schlagzeuger mitten in einer musikalischen und kulturellen Revolution gefangen, die vor Innovation strotzte und nach neuen Ideen, Grooves und Persönlichkeit verlangte. Pop- und Rockmusiker wie Bobby Orr, Mick Avory, Keith Moon, Levon Helm, Charlie Watts, Mitch Mitchell, Ringo Starr und andere schrieben die Rolle, die das Schlagzeug früher in einem Pop- oder Rocksong spielte in vielerlei Hinsicht neu.

“From a drum perspective, the ’60s is an era of extreme forward musical thinking. I’d like to think of this decade as the musical cradle that shaped the modern pop and rock drum hero. Finally, the drums did more than just play along. Much like in a jazz setup, they were in the forefront of the sound and a pivotal part of the overall expression”, says drummer Norman Garschke.

The Sixties Pop Grooves MIDI pack takes off in the wake of this era and explores its seemingly infinite fount of treasures. Expect a cross section of what pop was during this decade – and then some.

“For this collection, I wanted to hone in on mainly the pop side of the era. However, when diving into this endless well of inspiration, I realized it was impossible to not come out with something that ventured outside the confines a bit. In the end, blurring the lines between genres is what made pop drumming stand out and advance back then. I think we came up with a very diverse pack, true to what made the ’60s so great.”

Welcome to a decade of drum foundations for your ’60s-inspired pop songs.
