Long before Nashville and its surrounding areas were flooded just a couple weeks ago, the folks at Discrete Drums had the opportunity to record sessions by professional drummer Tony Morra at Downtown Batterie in Nashville, Tennessee. Discrete Drums spun the resulting sessions into the new Kickin' Country collection of drum loops, which is now available via Sonoma Wire Works.

Kickin' Country is available in two versions -- the Kickin' Country Pro Set ($199) and the Kickin' Country Stereo Set ($99). The Pro Set, an extended version of Kickin' Country, includes 9 GB of multitrack 24-bit WAV files with Pro Tools sessions, stereo 16-bit versions (REX and WAV), one-shot samples, audio previews for auditioning purposes, and much more. Likewise, the Stereo Set offers about 3 GB of stereo 16-bit REX and WAV files.

The massive collection also includes 19 of Tony Morra's sessions in a variety of tempos and styles, such as brushes, ballads, waltz, train, pop, and more. For your convenience, all of the sessions are divided into specific parts like verse, chorus, bridge, intros, outros, fills, solos, and breaks.

You can do whatever you like with these drum sounds -- mix, process, tune, distort, and mangle them in Avid Pro Tools, Apple Logic, MOTU Digital Performer, Steinberg Cubase, Steinberg Nuendo, Cakewalk Sonar, and any other digital audio workstation that imports WAV or REX files.
