Get Ready For Funk!

A fresh take on the killer vintage sound. The sonic texture of these loops makes them ultra-flexible, bringing massive "vibe" to any modern track. Producer Eric Persing's mixes create a unique, dry sonic attitude in this library, making it ideal for layering with other groove elements. Vintage mics, warm Analog tape compression and antique drums all contribute to the funkiness. There have been numerous drum loop products produced in the past, but never before with this level of quantity, quality, flexibility and variety. The authenticity in Sound, Feel and Style is unprecedented. Producers Eric Persing and Bob Wilson (Liquid Grooves ), went to great lengths to insure that every groove was performed with maximum inspiration and is truly "the real deal". Normally, a drum loop library features the same drummer playing one kit, in one studio, all recorded in one day - resulting in the same basic sound throughout the collection. It may be good, but the lack of variety gets old quickly. In one of the biggest departures from other drum loop discs, Retro Funk was created from months of recording sessions with multiple world-class drummers -each recorded by different engineers in numerous legendary Hollywood studios like Captial Records, The Enterprise and O'Henry's. The focus is on live drumming with serious feel, vintage drums and a huge variety of original grooves and fills from four incredible drummers! The featured players on Retro Funk include:

• Gregg Bissonette (Santana, Joe Satriani, Don Henley)
• Bob Wilson (Liquid Grooves, George Benson, The Crusaders)
• John Ferraro (Larry Carlton, David Benoit, Albert Lee, Aaron Neville)
• Eric Boseman (Liquid Grooves, James Newton-Howard)

Create your own complete drum track with Song Construction Elements including Variations, Fills, Fill Bars, Intros, Breakdowns, Ride and Sidestick patterns, Add-on Cymbals, Claps, Vinyl noise and funky live Percussion loops too!
