Acoustic Swing & Shuffle Grooves

Acoustic Swing & Shuffle Grooves provides a treasure trove of drum loops, grooves and fills, combining a warm, vintage sound with a feel that only a world-class drummer can impart.

The CD ROM covers a variety of styles and tempos from 70’s style Glam Rock to NuSkool R&B grooves. If you ever wanted laid back grooves in the style of Bernard Purdie (Steely Dan) or the type of patterns that Barry White would love, you’ve come to the right place.



Acoustic Swing and Shuffle Grooves, was played live by Shane Meehan (Beverly Knight, Norman Cook, US3), on a classic 1970's Gretsch kit and a Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum. Recording took place at Helioscentric Studios on the vintage Helios desk previously used by Roxy Music and Bob Marley and made famous by the Paul Weller album of the same name. For maximum authenticity and dynamics, the MIDI versions of each loop were recorded on a Roland V-Drum kit.
