DrumCore 2.5

Inspirational Grooves to Spark New Ideas
Imagine flying Sly Dunbar in for a reggae track or calling Matt Sorum over whenever you want to rock out at 1:00 a.m. With DrumCore™, you have world-class drummers ready to play on your tunes any time and anywhere!

DrumCore is a complete solution for producers and composers who need to create drum parts quickly in a multitude of styles. DrumCore includes loops, fills and drumkits by A-list drummers including ...

You can also expand your library with DrummerPacks or your own WAV, AIFF, REX2 and Acid libraries!

All performances were recorded at 10 bpm increments, since drummers play differently at different tempos. This translates into more musical grooves and keeps audio quality from being compromised by extreme processing.

And as all the reviews attest, DrumCore SOUNDS great! All audio is 48kHz/24 bit and recorded in state-of-the-art studios using the best of analog (SSL, Neve, Pultec, etc.) and digital (Pro Tools HD3, etc.).

A Loop Librarian to Quickly Find the Beat You Need
DrumCore is a powerful loop librarian with an extensive search engine function. You can search content based on drummer, style, feel, tempo, or add your own comments and create your own metadata categories.

Audition content quickly by clicking on icons that represent loops, fills, hits and MIDI files. The "Queue Play" feature lets you audition how content works together (like beats and fills) so you can get a sense of how things work before you export the grooves. Use your computer's built-in audio system or ReWireTM to route audio via your digital audio workstation (DAW) software to mix and add plug-ins and effects. Use DrumCore to manage your own audio (WAV, AIFF, SD2, ACID®, REX2) and MIDI libraries!

Audio Loops *And* MIDI for the Best of Both Worlds
While other drum products make you choose between the speed and realism of loop-based composition or the note-level control offered by MIDI, DrumCore gives you both MIDI and audio grooves. And there are over 700 extra MIDI beats included as a bonus, because we're sure you never get enough beats!

Mix and match with MIDI and loops and layer some MIDI hits (like cymbal crashes, for example) on top of loops for accents using DrumCore's MIDI drum instrument. Since the drummers' kits were sampled at the same session as the loops, the sound of the kits blend well with the tone of the loops. Try using one drummer's MIDI groove on another drummer's drumkit. How about Matt Sorum's rock beat on a hip-hop kit? It's a toybox of creative possibilities.

MIDI Drums with Great Acoustic, Electronic and Latin Sounds
A software drum sampler/virtual instrument comes loaded with great-sounding kits recorded with the character of the drummer and their music genre(s). No need to use-up computer resources with plug-ins trying to make a "pristine" drum recording sound "punchy". DrumCore drumkit sounds were recorded with "character in mind" using the finest new and vintage analog gear like Distressors, Pultecs and whatever was needed. Plus many kits feature custom drums and cymbals made especially for the drummers found in DrumCore. Easily mix and match drumkit sounds (like snares, kicks, etc.) between your DrumCore kits. Try mixing Zoro's snappy snare with Sorum's thunderous kick! Each sound has programmable pitch, panning and volume and can be routed to the mixer inputs of your recording software (Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, etc.) to individually mix and process the sounds if you do feel the need to tweak. Unlike a lot of other drum software, you can also create your own original kits using your own samples (in .WAV or .AIFF format).

And, of course, you can use a MIDI controller with your sequencer to create your own beats using these unique kits or grab some sticks and use them for a live performance.

Easy-To-Use Songwriter "Groovesets"
All the great features in the world are pretty useless if a program is hard to use. So DrumCore strives to "keep it simple" and arranges content (both audio and MIDI) into "GrooveSets," which always presents you with the best loops, fills and variations that can work together at the current tempo. You can easily see the building blocks available to create a verse, chorus, breakdown or other part of song structure.

To create the GrooveSet, we ask a drummer to perform a "song" at multiple tempos over a range that made sense to them for that particular groove. Then we cut it up into the component parts. As you change tempo in DrumCore, you are presented with the drummer's performances in the GrooveSet that works best within the selected tempo, so grooves always sound natural. We also put in an "override" in case you want to make things sound a bit edgier by playing a loop at an extreme tempo.

DAW Integration
Using drag-and-drop, you can easily export audio and MIDI to ACID®, DP, Live, Logic, Cubase/Nuendo, Pro Tools, Sonar™, Tracktion and other popular recording software. DrumCore uses ReWire for sending multichannel audio to these applications and for receiving MIDI and tempo information.

Tired of reading manuals and getting ho-hum, generic beats? DrumCore is the fastest way to the perfect groove!

	Progressive? Rock? Yes! Prog and pop grooves in 7/4 and more... Not many drummers can span everything from the accessible, solid, pop sounds of John Lennon to the mixed time signatures, frenetic tempo variations and dynamic overtures of Yes. But Alan White's playing has consistently shown his yoga-like, stylistic flexibility while keeping a creative edge, regardless of genre. He played with Lennon on his successful "Imagine" album, with George Harrison on "All Things Must Pass," and has been the driving heartbeat of Yes since 1972. Great grooves in 7/4, 7/8, 5/4 and 9/4. There's even a taste of 4/4 here and there, plus new drumkits for use with DrumCores MIDI sound module/virtual instrument.
Award-winning country drums straight from Nashville! Lonnie Wilson has won the Academy of Country Music's "Drummer of the Year" award twice and Music Row Magazine's "Top Studio Drummer" award four times. He has played on countless hits with artists that include Brooks and Dunn, Faith Hill, George Jones, Martina McBride, Rascal Flats, Randy Travis and Waylon Jennings; and he's played on 19 number one singles for Tim McGraw alone! LonniePack I has great country drums, including brush and blastix grooves that are perfect for country, alt-country, and even folk and rock styles.
	Muy caliente Latin percussion to turn up the heat on any pop, rock or jazz track Luis Conte's genius stems from his ability to integrate the powerful rhythms of his native Cuba with the necessities of American pop music. His long and varied career has included numerous Hollywood film scores and mega-successful albums with Madonna, Ray Charles, Phil Collins, Santana, Shakira, Jackson Browne, Sergio Mendes, Cachao, and a multitude of other artists. This DrummerPack includes "layered" GrooveSets so you can use either full percussion mixes (congas, shaker and timbale for example) or a single track on its own (such as shaker). Lots of basic "bread and butter" 8th and 16th patterns are covered, along with a huge assortment of individual Latin instruments sounds taken from Luis' own collection.
Latin and Afro-Cuban grooves that ignite creativity... Luis Luis Conte grew-up in Cuba absorbing traditional Latin and Afro-Cuban rhythms. While his career has included countless pop projects with great percussion grooves (check out LuisPack I for those), he has always made time for traditional styles with artists like Sergio Mendes, Cachao and a multitude of other artists. GrooveSets are "layered" so you can use either full mixes (with congas, shaker and timbale for example) or just a single track on its own (like the shaker). A huge assortment of Latin instrument sounds taken from Luis' own collection are included—all for instant use in DrumCore's MIDI instrument.
	Hard drivin' rock drums from the beat behind Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver Matt Sorum is the consummate rock journeyman, having played with the Cult, Guns N' Roses (which chalked-up $30 million in record sales and two Grammy and MTV award nominations). These days Matt provides the slammin' beat behind the hard rock supergroup "Velvet Revolver." Great rock drums from a proven hit machine.
More reggae beats by the drums behind Marley, Tosh and Black Uhuru This is the real deal in reggae drumming. As half of "Sly & Robbie," reggae's premier rhythm section, Sly Dunbar has appeared on records by legends such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Black Uhuru and Burning Spear. He has also played with non-reggae artists such as Grace Jones, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, and Herbie Hancock. His latest work is in the classic "Dub" style. SlyPack I is for those who want authentic 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.
	Prog pop with double-kickin', china-crashin' ferocity! Four-on-the-floor and more... From the 80's progressive pop of Missing Persons to the technically "over the top" music of UK and Frank Zappa to Terry's Grammy-winning work with Jeff Beck—his playing has inspired some truly great compositions and instrumental performances. He can take things from four-on-the-floor pop to smoking double-kick grooves. He will fly into blinding double-stroke fills only to chill with a delicate, melodic part that's perfect for film soundtracks. TerryPack I shows a player that's a hybrid of punk enthusiasm and incredible chops that showcases custom-made China cymbals and custom-made melodic toms.
	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 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. Hip-hop Classics GrooveSets include: Hip-Hop Classics 1, 2 , 3 and 4 Hip-hop/R&B GrooveSets include: All Good, Atlanta, Backtalk, Bling, Bring It, Bumpin, Chill, Dig It, Elevator, Frantic, Gin, Grapes, HalfTime, HalfTime 2, Hopper, House Party, Juice, Kickit, Love, Mad Hatter, Money, No Sweat, Quarter Funk, Reggae hop, Shorty, Sparse, Sugar, Thumpin, Tight, Trunk and Upside. New DrumCore kits include: Classic, Dawghouse, Def, Fatty, Freaky, Funky, Garage, Gator, Homer, House Party, Jumpshot, Mama, Mini, Nasty, Oldschool, Puffer, Pump it Up, Quik, Radar, Sandy, Slammer, Tubbz, Vinyl and Wicked. Mix them with your other DrumCore kits for hybrid kits that are all your own!
Monster grooves from Zoro, the drums behind Lenny Kravitz and Bobby Brown From the classic 60-70s rock he played with Lenny Kravitz to the old-school, R&B-meets-hip-hop beats from the Bobby Brown days, Zoro has always delivered the groove with maximum soul. Zoro wrote the popular "Commandments of R&B Drumming: A Comprehensive Guide to Soul, Funk & Hip-Hop" instructional DVD series, and the beats you find in DrumCore even reach back to funk's New Orleans roots. This pack is filled with a huge number of grooves that lend themselves to funk, R&B, hip-hop, and pop song styles.
