Prog Rock to Metheny Samba

[Macplug]

How great are the basic rhythms of EZ Drummer?  Check out this song to hear what I mean.  It’s in two parts. Part one is prog rock.  (Might not be everyone’s cup of tea).  
But check out Part two (at around 4:20 mins).  It’s a basic default Cocktail Kit rhythm and played on the basic rock kit, but mixed in with some lush chords, well, it could be Metheny’s or Jeff Beck’s drummer!    Brilliant software guys.. Thank you.

There were a few places in that tune where I really liked the change up up.
The first was around 01:05 and leading into a solo
The next part I enjoyed was around 02:30 – where the drums had a more steady type groove goin’ on while the other rhythms caught up.
04:21 was another part that caught my ear.
Good job, and thanks for sharing with us!
Take care

wow, that’s really great man. impressed at the quality of most of the music clips I here on here. maybe the hi-hat could be be turned down or softened a bit, but it’s a nice mix.

very cool stuff.. i love it. the only thing that was buggin me was some of the piano was a sterile/programmed sounding at times.

reaperGG – I completely agree.  I’ve got a very basic notation software and vst piano sound and so I hold my hands up entirely.  You are spot on.  Thanks for your comment(s)
