GetGood Drums One Kit Wonder: Modern Fusion v1 KONTAKT

We at GGD are elated to introduce One Kit Wonder – a series of drum libraries inspired by the many GGD users who use our drums for songwriting. In the creative process, it’s crucial there is as little time wasted between the moment inspiration strikes, and how important it is to capture and hear your ideas sounding polished and professional as soon as possible, so you stay excited as you develop the ideas further.

And this is where One Kit Wonder comes into play – each kit is captured to the same level of detail as our other libraries, BUT they’re also fully mixed and ready to go so you can dive straight into the writing process, with your ideas immediately sounding amazing.

This particular kit, One Kit Wonder: Modern Fusion is inspired by contemporary progressive fusion artists, where the music demands a clean and glossy drum sound that nevertheless retains an organic timbre and wide dynamic range. You’ll find the snare and toms are punchy but musical, while the kick can deliver piercing attack or solid thud depending on the dynamic range you utilise. The cymbals are shimmery and hi-fi, but also have an underlying dark complexity and touch-responsiveness. Check out the features:

  • Kontakt Player Library (with full NKS integration) and can be used with Kontakt’s Free Player – no need to buy the full version of Kontakt to use GGD!
  • Mix ready drum tones – good to go out of the box
  • A brand new, fully-featured and intuitive UI
  • Built-in Groove player
  • Built-in Master EQ, Parallel Compression and Reverb
  • The entire kit is tuned to perfection, so you’ll never be fighting against sour notes in your mix
  • Every sample is phase-coherent for easy layering

It’s our hope that this sample library will remove frustrating barriers in your creative process so that you can enjoy making music to the fullest.

The Pianist’s Guide to Historic Improvisation

The Pianist’s Guide to Historic Improvisation

Keyboard artists in the time of J.S. Bach were simultaneously performers, composers, and improvisers. By the twentieth century, however, the art of improvisation was all but lost. Today, vanishingly few classically-trained musicians can improvise with fluent, stylistic integrity. Many now question the system of training that leaves players dependent upon the printed page, and would welcome a new approach to musicianship that would enable modern performers to recapture the remarkable creative freedom of a bygone era.

The Pianist’s Guide to Historic Improvisation opens a pathway of musical discovery as the reader learns to improvise with confidence and joy. Useful as either a college-level textbook or a guide for independent study, the book is eminently practical. Author John Mortensen explains even the most complex ideas in a lucid, conversational tone, accompanied by hundreds of musical examples. Mortensen pairs every concept with hands-on exercises for step-by-step practice of each skill. Professional-level virtuosity is not required; players of moderate skill can manage the material. Suitable for professionals, conservatory students, and avid amateurs, The Pianist’s Guide leads to mastery of improvisational techniques at the Baroque keyboard.
