DrumDrops Adam Betts Live Beats & Breaks 2 WAV
DrumDrops are proud and delighted to announce the next instalment of the Live Beats and Breaks series from drummer extraordinaire Adam Betts. With tempos ranging from 103-174bpm Adam takes us on an incredible rhythmic journey taking inspiration from grooves form the original groove masters such as The Meters, Bernard Purdie, Bobby Byrd, Fela Kuti and Harvey Mason. Adam then takes these classic crate digging influences right up to date with a collection of stunning high tempo high octane loops designed to bring your tracks to life. With almost 700 loops in this collection there is a wealth of inspiration to be found.
Adam’s Tama, Ludwig, Pearl and Noonan drums along with his Sabian Cymbals were recorded thorough Livingstons CS75 Powered by Neve desk utilising its onboard 1073 preamps, each nuance captured by a selection of mic’s from mic’s by Neumann, Royer, AKG, Shure and Sennheiser. We truly enjoyed producing this collection in the knowledge of it being far from just another run of the mill loop pack, we truly believe these beats will add that extra special edge to your productions.
Whether in his own music as Colossal Squid, or playing for Goldie, Squarepusher, the Heritage Orchestra, Jarvis Cocker, Three Trapped Tigers and Pete Tong to name a few, Adam Betts is about fusing the old and the new – the sound and focus looking to the future with a love for the groove and humanity of the great music of the past. This runs through Betts’s playing, and it’s this that this drum pack is all about.
