A very special collection of loops from Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks, and beyond), one of the world’s most original and sought-after drummers.
Divided into 'Acoustic' and 'Electronic' beats, the collection was recorded personally by Bill Bruford with meticulous care to preserve the feel and idiosyncrasies of this material.
The MIDI version can of course be voiced at will, and the download now also automatically include native Motif (w2p), Motif ES (w7p), Motif XS (x0p) and Motif XF (x3p) Pattern formats. The audio versions (CD-Audio and CD-ROM) offer Bill Bruford's own acoustic kit and Simmons SDX kit sounds for which he is so rightly famous.
