What Is BeatBuddy?

The most comprehensive collection of authentic Brazilian rhythms from the full spectrum of Brazilian music styles has finally landed for your BeatBuddy.

Short of hiring an entire Brazilian percussion section to accompany you, nothing comes close to this. 100% authentic Brazilian feel, dynamics, instruments, true-to-life articulations of these beats will transport you to Rio instantaneously.

All rhythms were performed by percussion expert Kenneth Metzker, recorded live by overdubbing each part, then meticulously edited, converted to MIDI, and had their timing and articulations for each instrument matched to the original audio, note by note by Goran Rista.

These beats require the Brazilian Percussion Drumset to play.

The following Brazilian styles were recreated in their full authenticity:

• Afoxe
• Baiao
• Bossa Nova
• Capoeria
• Ciranda
• Coco
• Frevo
• Maracatu
• Maracatu slow
• Reco Reco
• Samba Batucada
• Samba De Roda
• Samba Pagode
• Samba- pandeiro groove
• Samba Partido Alto
• Samba Reggae
• Samba Rock
• Samba Teleco Teco
• Sertanejo Universitario (Samba de Bloco)
• Xote

There are a total of 20 BeatBuddy songs, consisting of 40 beats and 78 bonus fills.

All loops are longer in length and contain variations. Some songs have only a single section, while most have 2 and some have up to 5.

This release is included in the Complete Collection 2023
