Review Highlights
"the whole collection has a strong, appealing and very distinctive sound" - Melody Maker

"...this compilation represents the coming together of everything that has been learnt about drumming in the last thirty years - taut performances, impeccable recordings, skilful tuning and above all, the value of the groove...I can recommend this CD wholeheartedly...If these funky drums are from hell, the Devil still seems to have all the best music." - MT, Mar 93.

Format Information
GENERAL - Kontakt CD-ROMs are primarily of course designed for use in Native Instrument's Kontakt itself. However the format is also compatible with some other music software too.
PRODUCT SPECIFIC - This CD-ROM features all the drum and performance loops sliced up in programs that you can load and either play each slice as it is mapped across the keyboard or use the supplied MIDI Files to re-create the original loop and edit as you wish. This is an extremely powerful system allowing you quick and easy loop editing, we call CD-ROMs like this 'POWER CUT'. Full versions of the loops are also included in banks for quick auditioning too if you prefer to work this way.
