Capturing the flavor of Brazil's carnival musical atmosphere, this sample library features the main drums of the Brazilian Samba Baterias (samba percussion ensembles). It includes more than 2000 samples (1.4GB) of Rio's vibrant, exciting drumming, are so full of spirit and color they will send shivers down your spine.To record the drum samples on Carnival Drum Grooves, Zero G gathered together 10 professional Brazilian percussionists who play each year at the Rio Carnival and recorded them in a state-of-the-art studio using close-mics, stereo overheads, and distant stereo room mics to bottle the pure exhilaration of the performances. Because each of the 10 drummers played the same drum and rhythm in unison, mixed loops with 6 different drum parts can have the sound and force of 60 carnival drummers.With over 1400 loops in four different mic positions, this sample collection consists of both loops (Rex2, Acidized Wavs & AIFF Apple Loops) and multi-layered sample hits (EXS 24, Halion, Kontakt & NN-XT). You can expertly blend the two with your own keyboard or pad-triggered patterns because the loops and hits are from the same drums, players, mics, mixes and venue. The baterias are the very essence of what makes the Carnival and its music so exciting, but outside of Rio the organization of the bateria and how it works was a mystery, until now.The Drums This sample collection presents the main drums of the Brazilian Samba Baterias as developed in the Samba Schools of Rio De Janeiro in the early 20th century. The same ones still used to great effect at the Rio Carnival every summer.They include: Surdo de Primeira: This is the largest surdo (bass drum), the one that gives the crucial marca&231;&227;o [the second, stronger beat] to the samba - it's the base of the rhythm. The Surdo de Primeira is the drum that provides the primary beat that the listener concentrates on. The singers are guided by this surdo. In general, there is a surdo de primeira right next to the principal singers as a guide. It has a lower tone and a stronger tuning than the Surdos de Resposta (the responding bass drums, second and third surdos).Surdo de Segunda: This is the response to the surdo de primeira. It sustains the samba rhythm while the Surdo de Primeira is at rest and is its counterpoint. It is the middle-pitched Surdo Drum.Surdo de Corte (Surdo de Terceira): A type of tuned floor-tom played with the hands, the highest of the three surdos. It chimes in between the other two (a little before the Surdo de Segunda). It gives a special interest to the cadence, breaking through the rigidity of the other two surdos and it gives a swing to the rhythm. Although played fairly softly to create a pure note, together, the Surdos drive the Samba like a bassline.Caixa: Pronounced 'kay-sha', a type of snare drum worn on a shoulder strap. Played in large ensembles, Caixa rolls blend together in a shuffling wall of energetic white noise. This is what gives character to
