OddGrooves has released Westcoast Drumming, a collection of drum grooves played by Magnus Brandell.
OddGrooves Westcoast Drumming is our homage to a golden era of groove, when the charts were dominated by session drummers such as Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd and Bernard Purdie – playing on albums by artists like Bill Champlin, Pages, Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan.
A time before drum machines, quantization and stiff programming. A time of golden groove, when REAL musicians played REAL instruments. THAT’S what the Westcoast Pack is all about.
