Red-hot urban beats and cool new MIDI kits

This new expansion pack was cooked up in the heat of the DrumCore labs by Gary "GT" Thompson (pro drummer, drum programmer and seasoned DrumCore session producer). Gary's worked with artists such as Robbie Robertson, Dave Stewart, Everclear, Ann Wilson and too many local Seattle artists to list.

This entire product is now included in DrumCore 3. Only DrumCore 2 or DrumCore LT users not planning to upgrade to DrumCore 3 would want to purchase this product. DrumCore 2 and DrumCore LT have been discontinued. DrumCore LT users should purchase DrumCore 3. DrumCore 2 users can upgrade to DrumCore 3 here.

This DrummerPack is all MIDI beats and slammin' kit sounds. There are no audio loops. Beats are designed to use straight up, or simply as a starting point for you to make your own by editing in your recording/sequencing application. Urban GT is basically two DrummerPacks in one. It includes a "Hip Hop Classics" pack which is a collection of vintage and modern hip-hop beats modeled after Billboard's "Hot 100" Hip-Hop/R&B hits of all time. The Classics 1 GrooveSet is derived from beats in the 65-90 BPM tempo range. Classics 2 covers 90-95 BPM, Classics 3 is 95-105 BPM, and Classics 4 starts from tempos 105 BPM and goes up. These GrooveSets mix both single "golden beats" with groups of beats that can work together as variations on the same groove. The "Hip-Hop/R&B" pack includes original beats in the hip-hop/R&B vein. This DrummerPack groups content in the usual DrummerPack tradition where all the beats in a GrooveSet relate to the same core groove for easy song construction. Many of the Urban GT beats will work better at slower tempos, between 80-100 BPM, as is more the norm for hip-hop.
