What Is BeatBuddy?

No kick, no snare, no toms! When your gig requires a simple light touch, this cymbal beats package may fit the need perfectly. Ideal for: acoustic sets, singer-songwriters, instrumental gigs, light settings, background music…

All beats included in this package are with straight feel (as opposed to swung) and can be used for a number of music styles, where lighter performance is preferred.

219 Beat variations accompanied by the cymbal fills, grouped in 31 “songs” include:

• Time Signatures
  • 4/4
  • 3/4
  • 5/4
  • 5/8
  • 6/8
  • 7/8
  • 9/8
• Halftime, Quarter notes, 8th notes, 16th notes
• Cymbal swells
• Crescendo/ Decrescendo beats

Please keep in mind that these “songs” are mostly for preview purposes and that the beats are intended to be re-arranged into songs that suit your particular needs.

While these cymbal beats will work on any regular drumset, we recommend the use of the default Jazz drumset.
