| The grooves and drum arrangements on this CD emulate those of well-written, popular, commercial songs. This CD was updated in December of 2005 with newer tracks (since it's last release in June of 2005) to stay current with today's Pop styles and will be updated again in another few months. In addition to following the "current trends", there are also some innovative sounding tracks to help inspire more individuality and uniqueness in your music. | ||
