RHYTHMIC JOURNEY features drum loops and individual drum samples from ex-Journey drummer STEVE SMITH, recorded by Aerosmith engineer Kevin Elson at Fantasy Studios in San Francisco. As many of you are aware, Steve Smith is one of the world's most revered drummers. With the group Journey, Steve established himself as a tour-de-force groove master. RHYTHMIC JOURNEY was co-produced by East West producer Doug Rogers and David Frangioni, who collectively have produced many top-rated sample collections (Bob Clearmountain Drums 1 & 2, Dance/Industrial 1 & 2, Funky Ass Loops, Smoov Grooves, Phat & Phunky, Steve Stevens, BT Breaks from the Nu Skool, BT Twisted Textures etc.). Needless to say the grooves on RHYTHMIC JOURNEY are flawless and sound phenominal - pre mixed by Rogers, Frangioni and Elson. There are also individual sounds for drum replacement or those that want to construct their own grooves using Steve's sounds.
RHYTHMIC JOURNEY is a 2-CD collection (for the price of one), 1 CD-Audio and one .WAV CD-ROM of the same material. These grooves stay out of the way; yet provide a solid foundation as only a drummer of Steve Smith’s calibre can deliver. The combined experience of Rogers, Frangioni, Elson and Smith has produced one of the best sounding and best performed drum loop CDs of all time. Power on your sampler and get ready, as the journey has only just begun.
