Authentic Reggae Beats Played by the Master

Sonoma Wire Works's SlyPack I features more reggae beats from Sly Dunbar, the drums behind Marley, Tosh and Black Uhuru. SlyPack I is for those who want the "real deal" in reggae and classic ska drums. From its light and playful hi-hat figures to the snare drops and ghost notes, this groove pack captures the sounds of a true Jamaican "riddim" king.

DrumCore provides songwriters, composers and musicians with a complete set of tools for creating great drum tracks quickly across a wide range of musical genres. DrumCore is the only product that combines name-band drummer content (in both audio and MIDI formats), with a unified search engine to let you search, select and export files into your audio workstation in nothing flat. It even helps you manage your own loop libraries and create your own MIDI drum kits.

Sly Dunbar mon!

by Jason from Honolulu

Music Background: Reggae/Hip Hop Instrumentals
Paired with Drumcore...this is really the only reggae drum toolkit u can get. Sure there's plenty of sample cd's out there u can buy that have 30gbs of "reggae loops, hits, and fills" but scouring thr... read more [+]u those libraries is brutal.

I like that u can find a beat u like in wav, switch to midi, and then try it out on all the different kits. If ur like me though u'll be using the same 3 or 4 kits though most of the time.

While Sly's great...I'm not a huge fan of some of the "styles" on this. There's many I've never, and will never, use. However, there's a bunch that I love and some more that I haven't even got the chance to use yet and am eager to get them into a project.

For those not happy with preprocessed beats...just remember...u can tweak the midi data and I like to add a second or third channel for added high-hat/percussion. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
