"Upbeat and agressive"

June 28, 2004 -- For both Mac and PC, Drums On Demand's™ new "Upbeat & Aggressive" is a 2-CD set featuring 1,700 royalty free loops, Loop Layers™ and matching single hits in 25 easy-to-use Song Sets. Users simply drag and drop from an average of 45 modular verse, chorus, fill, bridge, break, intro, ending and other loops to to quickly build a drum track that feels and sounds like a live session drummer with a veteran engineer at the console.

To further enhance creativity and control, nearly 250 Loop Layers™ are also included. Simply put, Loop Layers are isolated kick, snare, rim, hat and ride loops (based on the major grooves in a Song Set) that allow you to create and mix other groove loops, breakdowns and sparser elements you might need.

Each Song Set includes an average of 11 Loop Layers™, 237 in all. And with some editing, the possibilities are almost endless. When combined with the other loops and single hits in a Song Set, Drums On Demand™ provides a kind of control never before available with stereo loops.

The matching sets of single hits (more than 500 in all) include 3-velocities of Kick, Snare, Closed Hat, Hi-Tom, Middle-Tom, Low-Tom. Plus, single-velocity open hat and rim/side stick. There are also 40+ megs of crashes, rides and other cymbals that work within all Song Sets.
