Playing tight, authentic reggae grooves can be a little harder than you’d think. How do you do it? Reggae is a playing style that, in terms of difficulty, is often underestimated by a lot of drummers (and musicians). I like the Latin and Reggae beats.Reggae drumming. If you don’t know where to start, open an Oddgrooves midi set. It’s basically limitless – you’ve effectively hired a drummer. I can just synth-pop jam along with a real drummer or replace my robot beat by plonking a human drummer into my mix. Oddgrooves is the best way to add a human to your electonic music. I love electronic buy understand that a hybrid of human and electro-beat is where it’s at. The Reggae and New Orleans patterns are amazing!” I use Oddgrooves midi files for the authentic drummer feel and, strangely, to get away from the robotic MIDI drum loops of many many other providers. Highly recommended and easy to install in your drum program. Good Reggae grooves are also hard to fine but OddGrooves has them.
I have since started working with their Reggae grooves that are excellent. Their Seven Eight Pack helped me complete a song, “Lydian,” that switched between 7/8 and 6/8. I first discovered OddGrooves because a couple of the major drum groove makers did not have a good selection of 7/8 grooves. The Reggae Pack is arranged in Song Format to make life easier for producers and composers on a tight time schedule, and includes multiple variations of intros, verses, pre-choruses, choruses and outros/endings for each tempo. Use them with your favorite drum sampler and tune up the snare a bit for that almost timbale-like snare sound. These grooves are natural, raw-sounding and have that human feel that simply cannot be achieved with programmed beats. And just like all OddGrooves products, no stiff quantization has been applied. You get 247 longer MIDI reggae drum loops recorded in 10 Tempos by professional session drummer Magnus Brandell.
