Another one of my favorite producers, Dre is notorious for that West Coast gangsta funk rap music of the 90′s. Interestingly enough, on this kit some of the drums are slightly delayed (in the time sense, not the effect like an echo) to somewhat capture how doc’s drums are not always precisely on beat to capture a bit of that funk.

I am aware that there is a Dre-mendous kit out there, and I haven’t verified that these three kits are the same. It would seem likely though since there are 3 volumes in this bundle as well.

At over 700 samples, how can you go wrong? Start working on that bounce today by getting your drum foundation correct.

A few weeks back we were in New York, and now we fly over to LA and hit you with these kits. Again, I feel that these drums can be used for a variety of applications, but they were categorized as west coast by the originator.

On the second kit that’s on here, there’s an instrument folder that definitely has a west coast feel to them. The bass sounds as well as the wah-wah’d guitars and other sounds should give you that g-funk sound you need for that west coast bounce, similar to that mid 90′s Dr. Dre sound.

This bundle weighs in at a little less than 500 samples, so it should keep you busy for a while.

If you haven’t picked up on it yet, I have scored and am producing a hip-hop track (yes, hip-hop) on the MsP collaboration album Roll Call ’10.  It has the flavor of an old-school, mid-’90′s, West Coast track.  It’s not really a “Gangsta” track, though the theme for the song will be gang related, but only to a degree.

We don’t really want to give away too much on the content of the song but what we can tell you is that it will not be POV – the lyrics will be from 2 bystanders/observers.  The track WILL play on your state of mind and you WILL feel like you just watched some psychological drama.  Beyond that, you’ll have to wait and see.

Last night (4.4.10/Easter Sunday)  MooN ShynE and I discussed how this track should progress and we came up with some interesting ideas as far as the “theme” of the song.

This track will feature:
MooN ShynE – vocals / mixing / mastering / arrangement
K-Maculate – vocals
ADM – producer / composer / storyline (partial)

I would appreciate MooN ShynE’s input on this as well…

That’s it for now………
