In this pack, he takes all his years\u2019 worth of experience at the drum throne playing material across all genres and distills it down to a collection of grooves specifically for contemporary R&#038;B. Expect a wealth of fundamental beats that you can loop, dissect, mix and match without the one central component that\u2019s made Ash a household name with the artist elite go missing: feel. Ash has tons of it, infused in every stroke, bar and beat of his clockwork-like pocket. <\/p>\n<p>In a style where the groove is the undeniable pivot, it doesn\u2019t have to be hard or overly embellished to make a point, it just has to be right. Welcome to a collection of drum MIDI that gives you just that \u2013 fundamental beats that focus on the heart of the matter: the groove. Expect anything from lush and laid-back hip-hop feels to big backbeats and reggae-inspired one drops \u2013 all lathered in the patented feel of one of the world\u2019s most in-demand session players.\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Works with EZdrummer, EZdrummer 2, EZdrummer 3, Superior Drummer 2 and Superior Drummer 3.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"color-gray-lightest\" style=\"padding: 5%;\">\n<p>Note: This MIDI is unique and not the same as the library included with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toontrack.com\/product\/in-the-pocket-ezx\/\"><strong>In the Pocket EZX<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-5 ps-lg-4\">\n<div class=\"tt-feature-spotlight\">\n<div style=\"height: 50px;\" class=\"d-md-none\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li div class=\"mt-0\">Drum grooves and fills inspired by contemporary R&#038;B and other related beat-centric genres like hip-hop, soul and modern pop<\/li>\n<li>Performed by noted session drummer Ash Soan (Alicia Keys, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and many more)<\/li>\n<li>More than 450 individually played MIDI files<\/li>\n<li>Organized in convenient song parts <i>(Intro, A, B, C and Fills)<\/i><\/li>\n<li>4\/4 and 6\/8 in straight and\/or swing feel with tempos ranging from 66 BPM to 121 BPM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 25px;\" class=\"d-none d-md-block\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-10 col-md-12\">\n<div class=\"color-midi\" style=\"padding: 25px;\">\n<p class=\"mt-0 mb-0 color-text-white\">This collection of drum MIDI was created alongside the <a class=\"color-text-white\" href=\"https:\/\/www.toontrack.com\/product\/contemporary-rb-ezbass-midi\/\"><strong>Contemporary R&#038;B EZbass MIDI<\/strong><\/a> and <a class=\"color-text-white\" href=\"https:\/\/www.toontrack.com\/product\/contemporary-rb-ezkeys-midi\/\"><strong>Contemporary R&#038;B EZkeys MIDI packs<\/strong><\/a>.

If you had to pin down a style that is truly you, what would it be?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Songs all the way any songs, but vocal music is the one. I love lyrics and the journey they take people on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Take us through a typical day in the life of Ash Soan.<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Coffee, walk to my studio across my field then into whichever project is in my life at that time. This could be a track or an entire album, a TV theme or movie cue. When I have free time, I\u2019m working on music and sounds for my projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: When it comes to playing, you\u2019ve always highlighted the importance of feel. To you, what is \u2018feel,\u2019 exactly?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Literally for me a gridded beat is in time, but what else is there? It\u2019s in time, right? For me there is much more. Feel I think is the connection of the notes when joined together by the player, how the bass drum interacts with the snare and snare to hi-hats. Each of us has our unique way of connecting those parts and therefore our own feel. Some people have a very good way of doing this and some people concentrate on getting it perfectly in time and are mainly concerned with the click. With modern DAWs playing to grid isn\u2019t what is needed now. Feel is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: You\u2019ve been working as a drummer for upwards of thirty years now \u2013 touring the world, recording and performing in all kinds of scenarios. Looking back on this journey, are there any events or moments that particularly stand out for you personally?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: I think playing the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony with Mike Oldfield, supporting The Rolling Stones at 24 years old, recording \u201cSet Fire to the Rain\u201d with Adele in the studio with me and playing with all the artists live including Bryan Adams, Sin\u00e9ad O\u2019Connor, Van Morrison, Ronnie Wood and more have been some highlights.
