Ronnie Scott regular Mark Fletcher pulls up a stool once more and treats all you cats to another masterclass of cool jazz drumming. As with volume one of this increasingly vital series, he offers up the kind of deft brush work, varied time signatures, and in-the-pocket playing that has always marked him out as a heavyweight sticksman on the scene. The playing is fluid, the styles take in all types of modern and classic workouts, and the results make for a treasure trove of sweet loops and hits. It's 1GB of smokey club-style playing that will slide real nice into any smooth grooves you're working on. Also included are 99 drum chops, 342 Rex2 Files and eight soft sampler patches for Kontakt, Halion, NNXT, EXS24 and Sfx, daddio.
