THE SALSA SAVER.

Drum MIDI inspired by the wealth of grooves associated with salsa. If there is a style of music where rhythm plays just as much of a leading role as melody, it’s in salsa. Under its vast umbrella, you’ll find an entire ecosystem of grooves, patterns and dynamics.

In this MIDI pack, Venezuelan native and Grammy Award-nominated drummer Pablo Bencid takes you on an unforgettable ride through a veritable universe of salsa-related rhythms. Expect a collection of grooves that covers the entire spectrum from the utmost in finesse and subtlety to the absolutely wild and untamed – all expertly performed by a world-class artist with years’ worth of experience behind the kit. Looking to spice up your songwriting game with a new kind of beat that bursts with color, feel, energy and passion? Here’s a slew of brand new old-school grooves!

Dramatic dynamics, intricate subdivisions, complex rhythmic syncopation, subtle phrasing, nuance, finesse and effortless cadence – in the world of fusion drumming, it’s all of the above, all of the time. Needless to say, this is a genre that demands its drummer. In this pack, Pete Riley (Guthrie Govan, Keith Emerson, Richie Kotzen) explores this wildly faceted style by channeling inspiration from his own decades-long career on the jazz and fusion scene as well as from some of the iconic drummers who’ve made indelible imprints in the history of the genre. Expect a collection of syncopated, ghost note-ridden and off-beat-heavy grooves and fills that touch on the entire dynamic range from the subtlety of jazz to the bombastic output of rock. If you’re looking for grooves and fills executed with the remarkable finesse, sophistication and cadence only a great drummer can muster, this is your new fusion go-to.
