A Real Drummer for Your GarageBand

Drums On Demand Debuts Live, Acoustic Drum Loop Collection for Apple's GarageBand and SoundTrack.

February 11, 2004 -- To meet the growing need for quality music loops for GarageBand among songwriters and recordists, Drums On Demand has released its popular Vol. 1 loop CD in Apple Loops format. The collection includes nearly 900 live, acoustic drum loops organized into 41 easy-to-use Song Sets all designed to help you quickly put together a drum track that sounds like you hired a pro session drummer in a high-end studio. MP3 examples of all 41 Song Sets are available at http://www.drumsondemand.com/apple.htm

What makes Drums On Demand different from other drum loop CDs is its song-based organization system, creative live drumming and plug-and-play mix. Each Song Set includes as many as 33 verse, chorus, fill, bridge, break, intro, ending and other loops, ranging from one to eight measures in length. Simply find the master verse or chorus loop that fits your song and use the other loops and segments in the Song Set to quickly build a drum track that feels and sounds like a live session drummer playing a real song -- because thats exactly what it is.

A wide selection of styles and BPMs, combined with GarageBands tempo-matching capabilities, makes the royalty-free Drums On Demand CD a highly versatile tool for songwriting and multimedia production. Or you can quickly make great backing tracks for guitar jams.

Mixed with an ear for punch and musicality, the loops were tracked into 24-bit Pro Tools with top-of-the-line microphones and mixed down using high-end compression and processing. The result is the fastest, most flexible way to create a live-sounding, high-quality drum performance for your project. Suggested Retail Price: $49.95 (U.S)
