EastWest Powerhouse Drums

Iv'e been making ambient electronic music for about 22 years

I primarily use ACID and Cubase SX on Windows XP running through a Seasound Solo EX card at 24bit

My main monitors are M-Audio BX8'S and a set of AKG271m headphones

Overall i would say this is pretty much worth what i paid for it if a bit on the vanilla side of straightforward drums. Most of the loops are in a rock/pop kind of vein and admittedly aren't terribly interesting although there are some nice moments. There are a few loops in 5,7,and 11 time which is kind of nice for any prog rock fans out there and there is also a pretty usable percussion section with standard shaker,hat,tamb parts in 8th's and 16th variations. Tempo's range from 70 to i beleive 145bpm or so. I apologize i am not with the disc at the moment.There is a seperate folder of Wav Drum Parts which are all on the cheesy side for my taste. I think you can find much better offering from the likes of Mile Bould or Eric Persing.
All in all it is a decent volume. My hopes are always really high for Rock/Pop collections and i am always somewhat letdown at the fact that they mostly sound the same. The same shuffle beats and 12 bar blues beats or stuff that would fit into Men at Work pop when i would rather have The Verve or Pulp or something more Garagy.I would probably recommend Double Platinum Drums over this or i'm sure there are a bunch of others in Rock that would occupy your time more satisfyingly.

I've put in this info way too much:
22 years
Electronic Ambient
Win XP,Acid various software.Seasound Solo recording at 24bit
I've owned this library for 6mos
MAudio BX8 Monitors and AKG271 Headphones

Very good material on board here although mostly straightforward rock/pop beats. There is good stuff to be found if you play blues or slower rock stuff, it has your typical shuffle beats slow power metal mid tempo blues etc. all as individual loops with breaks and also as performances at around 33 bars or so. Recording quality is very clean thruought. There is also a seperate section of Wavedrum loops which are very much on the quirky side for my tastes. I think a good example of Wavedrum playing can be found in Miles Bould The progression or definately on Liquid Grooves of which i have reveiwed elsewhere. I think this is a very good collection of straight ahead drum grooves just a little too vanilla for my tastes.
