The world of Latin music has continued to gain popularity over the years as an exciting form of entertainment that has crossed over and blurred the lines between different styles. True Latin music does not normally include a drum set - Real Latin offers MIDI grooves that were adapted to the drum set that will make you move in your seat. For this offering Platinum Samples concentrated on the drum set instrumentalists that have pioneered the art form and drew inspiration from their playing to create this extremely musical collection.
