In 2006 I was contacted by DigiDesign, best known amongst musicians as the makers of the amazing and world reknowned Audio Suite Pro Tools. I was invited to perform for one of their forthcoming products.

My Groove and Drum Sound is now part of STRIKE, a Plugin for Pro Tools. The following video shows you what it can do:

Here’s an excerpt from the creator’s website, explaining what STRIKE does better than I ever could:

The Ultimate Virtual Drummer

Digidesign® Strike™ is a revolutionary instrument plug-in that makes it easy to create professional drum performances in Pro Tools® with uncanny realism and unbelievable human feel. More than just a high-definition drum module, Strike uses real drum performances and provides unprecedented control over every aspect of your virtual drummer’s sound and playing. Select a kit, set the mic placement and leakage, choose a room, and tell your drummer how to play as you adjust the intensity, complexity, timing, groove, dynamics, and more — in real time. This is one instrument you have to see to believe.
