I am a yearlong user of BB, and I admire how many functions and styles which have been included in BB over the years.

However, there is a style which is very often used in jazz music, which I cannot find among the thousands of BB styles.
It is a latin type of style which is often used during the thema presentation in certain jazz tunes (and sometimes also during solos).

I can illustrate with some examples:

* In this video of 'A night in Tunisia' you see clearly how the drummer plays figures on the bell of the cymbals and characteristic patterns on the drums, while the bassist and pianist support these paterns:

Another 'A night in Tunisia' a bit faster whith the same patterns, without direct showing pictures of the drummer:

On 'Ecaroh', played by Art Blakeys Jazzmessengers, you will hear the same style in the beginning:

* In the tune 'I'll remember april' often is used a related style in the A-sections
The style is slightly different lacking the figures on the cymbal bells, but with figures on the drums and characteristic 'motunos' in piano and bass
Examples:
The Max Roach/Clifford Brown quintet:

and Dexter Gordon:

Since these styles are so often used in jazz, I very much wish if it would be possible to include them in comming updates of BB.

I get the impression that you are focusing on specific drum styles separate to the actual music style. Certainly that would be a good addition if not currently available.

Hi JanBB,
Thanks for this suggestion. We added a new RealDrums style based on this request, which you can check out in this RealStyle:

Tobin, I like the demo in your link very much. Nice work.

However, when I loaded that style into a new song and selected to load the Demo song, all I get on the drum track is loud static. I hear static playing quarter notes on beats 1 and 3 of the count-in, then constant static. Bass & piano are OK. I tried several regenerations of the song.

Demo song playback was fine for me. I do not use the Audiophile package.

Must be the weather in New York. Or sunspots. Or a short between the chair and the keyboard.

If you are a member in the forum where we report problems to the developers, you’ll see my post on this. I provided a link to an audio file demonstrating the problem.

Question: do any of you NOT experiencing this use the audiophile version (in case there’s a difference)?
