As a newbie here, I didnāt have time to buy the Premium version, all these tracks, all these artists, who are not present in the new version of Groove Monkey. But I was really tempted by Led Zep, The Beatles, old classics, in fact. Small question in passing: is all this work definitely lost or is there a risk of seeing it come out again one day or another??? I would have discovered the BB 6 months earlier, and I had it! What a shame!

So, the Premium Complete Collection has Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, but thereās no Alice In Chains? Come on! Rooster, No Excuses, Down in a Hole, Sea of Sorrow, Man in Box, Againā¦I could go onā¦
As a point of reference for the BB owners that may not have seen the the Premium drum kits, these are a few that I have that have given me a good variety of drums.
I have plenty of MIDI beats for standard drums, but would like to see more in the way for cajon, udu, djembe, cabasa, etc that are in a few drumsets (I donāt do well trying to create beats for these instruments).
I agree with the simplified structure, I want only the clear changes not the full 32 different beats per song (unless itās a prog song with 32 sections ).
I play jazz, and as we are a minority and less of the market, I get that we donāt get all the love! I have had a Beatbuddy for many years (since the first iteration on Indie GoGo), and I love the thing! I bought a Pigtronix Infinity as a result and wore it out, and then got a second one. Here are some content I would love to see (or anything in these veins):
Tribal Tech - Elvis at the Hop, Sub Aqua
Guru - Down The Backstreets
Solsonics - Jazz in the Present Sense
Us3 - Cantaloop
Miles Davis - anything on Kind of Blue
John Scofield - everything
Any jazz grooves that arenāt just stirring brushes and have interesting kick and snare patterns.

Steve Miller Band
Jimmy Buffett
Eric Church
Zac Brown Band

Dave Matthewās Band
The Offspring
Dropkick Murphys
Seether

Iād like to see a full Jimmy Buffett pack. But several songs or a full pack by some of the artists listed above would be great. Especially the ones with harder drum patterns, fills, or timings so we donāt have to spend multiple hours creating them.
Iād like a ābrushierā brush drum set. Listen to Magnolia by JJ Cale. Some studio recordings mic the snare very close to capture a soft attack at high volume.
