This is what this collection of drum MIDI seeks to capture – the magic, feel and very heartbeat of the early ‘Motown Sound’ – but at the same time offer a sixty-years-later spin on it. When it comes to groove and what rhythm truly adds to a song, this is a pivotal chapter in music history,” says drummer Norman Garschke. Their grooves were playful, light, fun and uplifting at the same time as they had an undeniable musical depth. It’s almost as if the drummers seamlessly moved between straight and swung notes like it was the most natural thing in the world. “I have always felt that there is something profoundly magical about the early days of this era. The ‘Detroit Soul’ MIDI packs were recorded in tandem but work just as great on their own as they do together.Įven though the classic ‘Motown Sound’ had luscious horn and string arrangements or call-and-response vocals as some of its most identifying traits, make no mistake – the power of the steady backbeats that the likes of William “Benny” Benjamin, Richard “Pistol” Allen and Uriel Jones laid down are forever etched in history. This marks the ninety-fourth release in Toontrack’s ever-growing collection of drum MIDI for EZdrummer 2 and Superior Drummer 3 as well as the sixtieth in the company’s collection of EZkeys MIDI packs. Today, Toontrack released the Detroit Soul Grooves and Detroit Soul EZkeys MIDI packs, two new collections of drum MIDI and EZkeys MIDI inspired by the ‘Motown’ era of music.
