Blues & Boogie

Especially suited for guitar-based projects, Blues ‘N’ Boogie (DOD Vol. 9) 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, the 21 super-deep Song Sets® 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. A consistent sound across the entire volume makes mixing and matching between Song Sets® easier than ever. Scroll down for complete previews. Click to order.

What's New
The latest addition to our Studio Series, Blues ‘N’ Boogie was recorded and mixed in high-definition -- 24-bit 96Khz sample rate -- then downsampled 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 megs of single hits, plus an optional multitrack upgrade. (See info on Loop Layers column at right.) Click here for more info on our Multitrack Editions.

Like all of our volumes, Blues 'N' Boogie is organized with our 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. Real Drums. Real Songs. Real Easy™

Blues & Boogie Previews
We wanted to show off the depth of the Song Sets on Blues & Boogie, so these previews are longer than previous volumes. Click on the links below for 30-second MP3 samples of all 21 Song Sets. Each example was created with only 5-8 loops from the parent Song Set®. Note: These are MP3s and will not play with some version of Windows Media Player. You need an MP3 player.

Loop Layers
Loop Layers™ are isolated kick, snare, rim, hat and ride loops (based on the major groove in a Song Set®) that allow you to create and mix the exact main groove loop you need. For example, if you need a Chorus.ride or a Verse.rim loop and the Song Set® doesn't already have one, you can quickly create one -- that sounds much more fluid and real-life than if you just used single hits. When combined with other loops and fills from the Song Set, Loop Layers™ provide unprecedented control never before available with stereo loops. And with some editing, the possibilities are almost endless. Click here to preview (MP3) one set of individual Loop Layers, then hear how they can be combined, then here for a graphic overview.

Blues & Boogie Tech Notes

KIT
a real deep, robust and dryer sound; a deep snare dampened a fare amount; bigger, lower toms with dampenening as well; larger cymbals in general too. A bigger, fatter, meatier sound works well with slower tunes and more organic types of music.
