| When
you know how to play a little bass, and when you
have a bassguitar, count yourself lucky. You have
the tools to check out if the rhythms are fit for
some heavy DUBBING.
It's one of the best ways to check out this
product. Connect the bassguitar and the computer
to a mixing board, start up an mp3 player and run
the previews. Listen to the introduction roll and
start playing the bassguitar a' la improvisee.
 For
this review, there have been several of such jam
sessions. Deliberatly, rhythms were chosen at
random and everytime the basslines simply came
into existance.
Fe real!
Play along with the previews, and one of the
first things you will feel is how the rhythms can
definitely be described in this one word:
intuitive. These rhythms are, without exception,
pure feeling.
The introduction rolls give a short summary of
the vibe-to-come and as soon as your fingers start
touching the bass strings you will find how
Horseman pulls the basslines out of you in no
time.
Most rhythms are in One Drop style. There's a
considerable amount of steppers as well as some
Two Drops. So the emphasis is on Roots.
Strong Roots!
In a subtle way, Horseman leads by giving so
much variation in his rhythms that it's a true joy
listening to some stricktly drum and bass alone.
And that is a sign that these rhythms will
eventually lead DUB producers to hard, tough DUBS.
This goes beyond inspiration!
