There's about 23 drum sessions each around 1-3 minutes long. So there's a lot of breaks and fills to pick away at in each track with different variations, and there's a roster of about 10 drummmers(1 mouth beatboxer). You can hear different kits used on the tracks which is good. I think a lot of these breaks are definitely usable, most are left clean and some are processed with some good compression/destruction effects. There's also 6 tracks that are individual drum sounds and one track of analog synth lfo effects.
The styles range from straight ahead funk to some more rockin' funk (think Bonham), some are fast, others are slow and even a track of laid back brush/jazz style. They're pretty much all over the funk spectrum. It's just what I like(but not enough disco
). Some jams they switch up time signatures and stuff which is nifty.If you noticed i'm talking about tracks, yes it's an Audio CD. So i'll have to import and chop them up to my taste which isn't so bad considering how cheap the CD was. But there's no tempo information anywhere as there's minimal documentation here except for a track title(which tend to be vague), and which drummer played it(that's cool if you want to credit the drummer on a track).
So it's really up to you to take care of these breaks and label them on your own. I would've been willing to pay more money for a Data CD but I also like how I can hear the full track of the drummer jamming and pick apart what I like from it. But if they played to a click i'd like to know what that click was set at right?
All in all I think I can get some good use out of these breaks, nothing absolutely ground breaking here except for the price but this CD is definitely 100% legit with some wicked drum tricks going on. And look how affordable! Anyways I like to support indie collectives like these who have a good vision and can execute. Good on them
Disclaimer: no affiliation with Bridgetown Breaks, I really just found the cd randomly and wanted to share
