Toontrack have released The Rock Chronicles, available at the intro price of $23.00, increasing to $29.00 after the promotion.
One thing has carried through every era of rock: groove. From the early days of rock ’n’ roll through the prog- and backbeat-driven 1970s, the arena-sized backbeats of the 1980s, the oddball rhythms of the art-rock scene and the laid-back feel of alternative rock, it’s been a constant. Simply put: in rock, groove is the heartbeat.
In this MIDI pack for EZdrummer and Superior Drummer, UK session stalwart Stephen Gilchrist (The Damned, Cardiacs, Graham Coxon) takes you on an exploration of the full arc of rock drumming. With sticks in hand and a vantage point behind the kit, he moves freely between past and present, stopping at the most pivotal milestones that shaped rock drumming as we know it. Expect everything from sixties-tinged grooves that helped spark the rock revolution, through the thunderous classic rock chops that followed, to odd-timed prog beats, angular art-rock rhythms and laid-back alternative feels.
If you’re looking for a full-circle MIDI library you can put to work across every walk of rock, this is it.
