Soul and funk dominated the music industry during the 1960s and 1970s for good reason. These styles were predominantly played by African-American musicians like Stevie Wonder, James Brown, and Marvin Gaye. Soul music took the stages, record players, and musical hearts of the world by storm, driven by iconic rhythm sections like the Funk Brothers and Booker T. & The M.G.’s.

Soul music emphasizes lyrics, vocal melodies, and vocal harmonies. You could see the roots as gospel music without the religious factor. Typical songs emphasize melody and vocals.

Soul music is much less complex than funk music and was more commercially successful. This means soul drumming features more basic patterns with fewer embellishments.

DEEP covers not only soulful and groovy genres but also feels right at home with pop, rock, and alternative vibes. Make your production dazzling with real-world drumming performances that breathe artistic life into your track.

DEEP comes with up to 60 velocity layers per instrument. Hyper realism by Ujam’s dynamic round-robin algorithm makes your drums sound like the real thing.

All sounds were recorded with a selection of both vintage and modern direct microphones. You get absolute mix freedom thanks to stereo pairs of overhead and room mics.
