Goran Grooves have released Handy Groovea – Latin Caribbean Drumset Rhythms, available at the intro price of $25.00, increasing to $35.00 after the promotion. This product is included in the GoranGrooves Complete MIDI Bundle, a MIDI drum loop collection.
Ignite your productions with the authentic spirit of Latin America and the Caribbean. Handy Grooves – Latin Caribbean Drumset Rhythms delivers a rich tapestry of traditional and contemporary Latin grooves, meticulously performed and produced by acclaimed drummer Ludwig Afonso.
This collection spans a vibrant range of styles from across Latin America and the Caribbean, covering rhythms rooted in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Uruguay, and Venezuela. It also includes Afro-influenced rhythms that bridge African traditions with Latin American expression, as well as Latin Jazz and Funk styles that reflect the cultural fusion found in the United States and throughout the Americas.
This comprehensive MIDI drum groove collection is tailor-made for virtual drum kits, capturing the subtle human nuances and stylistic phrasing of a live drummer on an acoustic set. Unlike Latin percussion libraries, this pack is designed with the drumset player in mind, reflecting real-world arrangements used in performance and studio settings.
