WHAT DRUM GROOVES ARE:
My drumtrax are cool sounding grooves that I did in my recording studio. They range from 110 bpm to 240 bpm.
HOW DRUM GROOVES ARE USED: DRUM GROOVES are used by musicians who need great sounding drum trax to practice to in the practice room, living room, or
wherever they are at the time. My DRUMTRAX have only the drums on the CD's, and each track is five minute long or longer. If you have something to learn for a gig, concert, band practice, improvised solo, or just want to compose to a great groove, these trax are for you.
WHY DRUM GROOVES ARE SO EASY TO USE: Let's say you are a high school or college music student, and you want to practice your tunes in the practice room, or at your friends house. Many play along CD's require that you have a computer around to use them. You don't need a computer to use DRUM GROOVES, just a CD player. Let's say you have a digital keyboard with a million buttons on it and you have no idea how 3/4 of the buttons work, but you have got to practice something for a gig right now and you need help keeping your timing straight. Just put the CD in the CD player or the Disklavier and hit play. DRUM GROOVES gives you a count off, and off you go playing to great studio drum trax working on your music. And since DRUM GROOVES have no bass parts or specific songs to them, you aren't stuck with other play along CD's problems of having to change volume of one speaker to another or being stuck to the arrangement that the play along creator made. You can practice the same line over and over until you get it, then advance to a faster tempo. You can compose your own music over DRUM GROOVES and end up with your own song.
BAND DIRECTORS: This is a great timekeeping solution for you. You can use drum tracks for rehearsing parts in sectionals. You can use DRUM GROOVES for helping your drummer learn how to play good grooves. Just send him home with the CD's and have him play along. Whip your soloists into shape by giving them DRUM GROOVES to get their timing together for improvisational solos.
PRIVATE TEACHERS:  Use drum tracks to improve the timing of your students as well as your own playing.
WHAT KIND OF GROOVES YOU CAN BUY:  Right now, there is a Jazz Grooves CD and a Latin Grooves CD. Each starts at a slow tempo with the first grooves and advances to fast tempos by the end of the CD. The grooves change in style and complexity as the tempos speed up, not like a drum machine that has no feel change when you raise the tempo, and not like a digital keyboard's drum tracks. The grooves at the faster tempos were played in the studio at the tempos you get when you buy DRUM GROOVES, so the way the drummer hits the snare has the right feel at the fast tempo, and the feel changes on the slower tracks with a more laid back swing on the Jazz Groove CD. The cool dynamics of the kick drum and auxilary percussion in the Latin Grooves CD make it a lot of fun to play to!
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU BUY DRUM GROOVES:  You get the audio CD for playing in your CD player. You get the track list and the bpm listings for each track so that if you have something specific to practice, you just find the closest tempo on DRUM GROOVES to what you are comfortable practicing at, then raise the tempo to performance tempo as you get better at playing what you are practicing. You also get detailed instructions on DRUM GROOVES as well as a short but valuable free music lesson on the importance of good rythym in your music.
PRICES:  Each DRUM GROOVES CD is 19.95$ plus shipping and handling. Pretty reasonable for a lifelong practice tool, don't you think?
