Rage Against The Machine

Has anybody out there tried playing hip-hop drum grooves? I thought they might be easy, but after two nights trying to pin one of them down, I can testify that they really are not.

Today I've seen a website where you can buy all the pre-recorded machine-generated grooves you want, so why bother playing them anyway? One groove-buying producer's testimonial says that his client was so impressed with the results that they thought he'd used a top session musician... Amazing...

So would you like to climb Everest? Or would you like to buy a fake picture of yourself at the top of Everest?

Back to the kit...
