The Groove Library

100 kit grooves, from AC/DC and Motown to reggae, bossa nova and bebop, plus 163 grooves recorded by jazz drummer Andreas Klein on a real kit, from a 50 BPM brush ballad to 220 BPM swing. Every loop repeats seamlessly, so you can listen as long as you like, then play along. Turn on the click to hear exactly where the drummer sits against the time: set it to 2 and 4 for swing, the way jazz players practice.
