Sonoma Wire Works Announces Jason McGerr Drum Content Available as RiffWorks Instant Drummer Sessions
July 31, 2007
Sonoma Wire Works, developers of
RiffWorks recording software and Drummerheads drum content providers
announce the release of two drum loop sessions by Jason McGerr
created exclusively in the RiffWorks InstantDrummer format. This
gives RiffWorks recording software users access to great sounding
drum loops from Jason McGerr, the acclaimed drummer for indie rock
band Death Cab for Cutie.
McGerr's sessions called Genevieve I and Genevieve II were recorded
in his studio by Hayden Bursk of Drummerheads. In the first session,
Genevieve I, playing his signature Ludwig kit, McGerr offers up beats
inspired by the fantastic Death Cab for Cutie song "The Sound of
Settling". Part II of the Genevieve series offers more kick and hat
breakdowns along with some really intricate ride work. More sessions
by McGerr are in the works.
Hayden Bursk from Drummerheads says, "InstantDrummer sessions are
sold as separate products but are really an intricate part of the
RiffWorks experience. We believe having the ability to play along
with Jason McGerr takes that experience to a new level. McGerr's work
has always been to support the song, and we've captured that approach
in these InstantDrummer products."
Jason McGerr remarked, "I had never compiled or recorded loops before
this project, though I work with them all the time. Whether I'm
writing demos, setting up guide tracks or adding live drums to
programmed beats, the feel of a loop is crucial to help the music
breathe and groove. Thinking about set ups, verses, choruses, and
endings - basically all the building blocks of a song flowing from
one part to the next - is truly a valuable process."

downloadable sessions here.
