(PRWEB) June 28, 2004 -- For both Mac and PC, Drums On Demand's new "Upbeat & Aggressive" is a 2-CD set featuring 1,700 royalty free loops, Loop Layers and matching single hits in 25 easy-to-use Song Sets. Users simply drag and drop from an average of 45 modular verse, chorus, fill, bridge, break, intro, ending and other loops to to quickly build a drum track that feels and sounds like a live session drummer with a veteran engineer at the console.

To further enhance creativity and control, nearly 250 Loop Layers are also included. Simply put, Loop Layers are isolated kick, snare, rim, hat and ride loops (based on the major grooves in a Song Set) that allow you to create and mix other groove loops, breakdowns and sparser elements you might need.

Each Song Set includes an average of 11 Loop Layers, 237 in all. And with some editing, the possibilities are almost endless. When combined with the other loops and single hits in a Song Set, Drums On Demand provides a kind of control never before available with stereo loops.

The matching sets of single hits (more than 500 in all) include 3-velocities of Kick, Snare, Closed Hat, Hi-Tom, Middle-Tom, Low-Tom. Plus, single-velocity open hat and rim/side stick. There are also 40+ megs of crashes, rides and other cymbals that work within all Song Sets.
