Bill Bruford's Packet of Three. Audio CD Only

Whatever, when you use these samples & loops you probably won't sound like the other guys. Please don't sound like the other guys! Pleads drum-meister Bill Bruford on the liner notes to Packet of 3, the Worlds first TRI-Format drum sampling CD produced by Twiddly Bits company Keyfax Software. Never one to chose the easy route, Bill Bruford was reluctant to churn out yet another drum sample CD in this way overcrowded field. With almost 70 minutes of unduplicated acoustic kit and Simmons electronic kit samples & loops. Packet of 3's unique approach is to offer material in the three basic formats: CD Audio, CD ROM and MIDI, enabling users across the entire spectrum of music production to tap into the legendary Bruford mind and time frame. HOWEVER THIS IS THE AUDIO CD ONLY

Packet of 3's acoustic menu encompasses full kit to tuned percussion, with items meticulously recorded using a wide variety of sticks, beaters, time signatures, tempi & sensibilities.

Meanwhile the electronic grooves clearly demonstrate Bill Bruford's unparralled contribution to the expansion of the role of a drummer in contemporary music.

With almost all grooves additionally available in Standard MIDI File form, users are free to experiment with sound substitution, tempo, playback mode etc., unheard of freedom compared to that offered by a normal drum sample CD.
