Toontrack has released new drum MIDI packs for its EZdrummer and Superior Drummer virtual instruments.
The On the Record MIDI pack features a pop- and rock-inspired collection of grooves by session legend Denny Fongheiser (Tracy Chapman, Stevie Nicks, Ricky Martin).
Denny Fongheiser’s drumming has underscored some of the most memorable songs of the past four decades. With an extensive list of credits spanning artists like Heart, Stevie Nicks, Ricky Martin and countless others, and it’s easy to see why he’s long been one of the most in-demand drummers on the session scene.
In this MIDI pack for EZdrummer and Superior Drummer, he draws on a career spanning countless records across virtually every style to deliver a song-first collection centered around two essential ingredients: feel and groove.
Also available is Session Backbeats, a collection of versatile drum grooves by session legend Curt “Kirkee B.” Bisquera (Elton John, Mick Jagger, Tom Petty).
Having been a first-call drummer on the Los Angeles session scene for more than three decades, Curt “Kirkee B.” Bisquera is nothing short of a legend. He knows exactly what, when and how to play any beat a song calls for – be it a smooth West Coast track, a stadium-sized rock anthem, a Latin-flavored pop tune or a film score. Over the years, his unmistakable groove has been heard on everything from seminal albums by Céline Dion and Josh Groban to records by Mick Jagger, Elton John and countless others.
In this MIDI pack for EZdrummer and Superior Drummer, Curt puts that versatility on full display, delivering a cross-genre collection of grooves and fills shaped by years of serving what matters most: the song. Drawing from a career spent in studios and on stages around the world, each beat reflects the feel, musicality and song-first approach that have made him one of the industry’s most trusted drummers.
The MIDI packs are available to purchase for 29 USD/EUR each at the Toontrack store and from distributors such as Best Service.
