Drum MIDI West Coast Rock Grooves

Smooth Sailing - die Fortsetzung der AOR Reihe

Yacht-Rock, Soft-Rock, West Coast Sound, erwachsenenorientierter Rock oder einfach AOR - die Labels, die diesem Chartbuster eines Genres beiläufig beigefügt sind, sind ebenso zahlreich wie verwirrend. Aber wie auch immer man es nennen mag, eines ist sicher: die Smooth Soul- und Jazz-, R&B-, Rock-, Funk- und Disco-Fusion, die Legenden wie Toto, Steely Dan, Christopher Cross und viele andere in den späten 70er Jahren einführten, wurde zum Soundtrack einer Ära.

This collection of drum MIDI continues to explore and dig deeper down the groove treasury that Toontrack just began to scratch the surface on with their earlier AOR packs. Luckily, there is no ground more fertile to dig in than that of the West Coast. It is simply inexhaustible. Arguably, no other genre aside from maybe jazz has produced more iconic drummers and larger-than-life songs where the drums play a pivotal role. The immortal beats of the likes of Jeff Porcaro, Bernard Purdie and Steve Gadd resonate to this day.

Get ready for grooves with an unwavering facility, nuance and sophistication – perfect for any type of rock song in need of that “session drummer” finesse.
