Greatest Funk/R&B Tracks Vol. 02 Sound Examples

Included Kits

Dance 2 It
Emulates the drum sound of “Dance to the Music” by Sly and the Family Stone, a classic 1968 track that showcases Greg Errico's tight, energetic drumming style.

Empty Window
This kit reproduces the drum sound of Erykah Badu's “Window Seat” from 2010. The song features a spacious groove with a distinctive bright snare sound. The kit also includes clap sounds for the song’s bridge sections.

It’s Gonna Be
Modeled on the intimate drum sounds from “Lovely Day,” as played by Russ Kunkel on the 1977 album Menagerie by singer/songwriter Bill Withers.

Virtual Jamz
Reproduces the drum sound from “Virtual Insanity,” a hit dance track from 1996 by the British band Jamiroquai that was inspired by a winter walk through an underground city space in Japan. The punchy drums lock nicely with the fat bass groove and funky keyboard sounds.

Locked Out
Modeled on the organic drum sounds from “Locked Out of Heaven,” a chart-topping track from the 2012 Unorthodox Jukebox album by singer/songwriter Bruno Mars.

Note: The kits in this collection have been created using the module’s internal instruments and editing tools combined with newly developed samples to reinforce certain drum sounds. Because the original recordings are not used within this collection, these kits should be considered as taking inspiration from the original sounds rather than being exact replicas.
