Over the past two decades, Charlie Morgan has established a reputation as one of the most respected and succesful players in the world of drums, appearing on albums by
ELTON JOHN, KATE BUSH, NIK KERSHAW, AIR SUPPLY, TINA TURNER, PHIL LYNOTT, GARY MOORE, BEVERLY CRAVEN & TASMIN ARCHER.


Drawing on his experience in playing many thousand sessions, for some of the Worlds leading recording artists and Producers, Charlie has identified thirty of the "Grooves" which characterise his style, and which are the actual patterns he played on many of the hit songs on his credit list.

These grooves were digitally recorded at THE TOWNHOUSE studios, to the highest possible specifaction, and are presented on CD, in 4 bar loops, along with a start/stop, plus two fills for each pattern. All recorded at various tempi, allowing to user to build his own personalised drum track.

Two kits were used to make the recording, and both have been sampled extensively on the CD, enabling the user to customise the patterns to fit their requirments, or program new patterns using Charlies drum kit.

There are a number of usefull Hi hat & Ride Cymbal loops.

The loops and samples are logically laid out, making this CD user-friendly, and a valuable working tool for anyone using sampled drums.
