The world might be a big place but sometimes you only need a handful of ’world rhythms’ to give your music a little edge.

For Drums Around The World we just Google-Earthed a few interesting places and found some interesting players who came from these regions and/or who worked in those genres: Ikuyo Conant, from Japan, who provides the Taiko beats, Alfredo Dias Gomes from Brazil, for the Olodum and Bossa Novas.

Throw in some Norteno, salsa, Senegalese rhythms, reggae, as well as some hard-edge techno from Germany and classic country beats from USA, and this is a wonderful sampler on both the world of drumming and also the world of MIDI samples.

We have some great new collections coming in the New Year, plus some new video support material. Meantime, check out some of the players behind the Twiddly.Bits series (see below). How cool to be able to add this caliber of player to your tracks at this caliber of price!
