Versatile and extensive collection of drum samples and rhythms
All Them Beats, is the definitive beat resource with 430 MIDI rhythm and beat
files and over 1,000 acidized wav loops and rex files for today’s producers and
drum software aficionados.
This extensive beat library is expertly
produced and organized in regional (African, Caribbean,) and stylistic (Blues,
Rock) folders for easy access.
Plus, there is a “Greatest Breaks” folder
with midi files of some of the most used drum breaks such as the Funky Drummer,
The Amen Break and Walk This Way, among many others.
All of the MIDI
files were recorded live with an electronic V-Drum kit, assigned to General MIDI
files, and exported out to loops using representative samples of each style,
making it accessible to users with or without drum libraries. And because each
beat is assigned to a MIDI file and short text description, auditioning beats is
simple and user-friendly.
All Them Beats also features a bonus selection
of drum loops culled from PowerFX’s award-winning samples. Users can choose real
played acoustic beats and grooves in various styles like the original Motown
Beat played by “Pistol” Allen, one of the Original Motown Drummers, or funk
master drummer Jabo Starks, as well as country, blues, rock, world beats, and
stylistic electronic and hip hop loops.
The versatile collection of
samples and rhythms serves as an essential resource for musicians, producers,
DJs, composers and engineers who own multi-sample drum libraries and drum
software like EZ Drummer, Addictive Drums, BDF or Imperial Drums.
“Whether they create jingles, film scores, or commercial recordings,
producers now have a definitive resource of drum beats to suit any situation,”
said Bryant. “If you need a Zydeco Shuffle, a Polka, a Reggae One Drop, or the
Mexican Hat Dance, it´s all here.”

What it is: An
incredible varied collection of well played midi drumbeats from around the world
for users of products like EZ Drummer, Addictive Drums, BFD, Guru, Session
Drummer and other drum sample libraries and software. The same midi files are
exported out as wav and rex files, making it easy to use in sequencers or
audition files. Plus, the PowerFX archive beats in genres are a real asset with
real acoustic played drums and expert drum programming.
What it
is not: There is no particular focus on a certain beat or style, so you
do not get many variations on certain drumbeats or styles with intros, fills and
endings. |
