(December 8, 2006) — Featuring 21 of our deepest Song Sets® ever, Blues ‘N’ Boogie offers a wide variety of classic blues, rock shuffles, and rock blues appropriate for pop, rock, and country projects. With everything from straight 4/4s to 12/8 shuffles and especially suited for guitar-based projects, the grooves evoke everything from the wide-open blues of the Texas plains to the smoky stages of the Chicago blues clubs. A fat snare, natural-sounding kick, and deep and dampened toms are presented in a clean and present mix. For extended audio previews visit www.drumsondemand.com/volume9.html

The latest addition to our Studio Series™, Blues ‘N’ Boogie was recorded and mixed in high-definition — 24-bit 96 kHz sample rate — then down-sampled to 44.1. Other new features include: Even longer loops for increased realism (some as long as four bars); an increased variety of .alt loops; verse and chorus fills also include verse and chorus groove for more ease-of-use and realism; many Song Sets® include multiple-bar dynamic build sections; increased attention to even wider variety within Song Sets®: more intro, verse, chorus, bridge and half-time loops (when appropriate). In other words, each Song Set® has more choices and depth than ever. Other Studio Series features include Loop Layers™ in each Song Set® and 100 MB of single hits, plus an optional multitrack upgrade.

Blues & Boogie is available in both stereo (24-bit Acidized WAV, 16-bit Acidized WAV, Apple Loops, and REX2) and multitrack formats.

Like all Drums On Demand® volumes, Blues 'N' Boogie loops are named organized with its patent-pending Song Set® system, with each set featuring an average of 60 verse, chorus, fill, bridge, break, intro, ending and many other loops. Simply find the Master Loop™ that fits your song and use the other loops and segments in the Song Set® to quickly build a drum track that feels and sounds like a live drummer playing a real song — with a veteran engineer at the console.
