03In depth

Soul and Funk Drum Sounds and Workflow

DEEP's core is its set of 30 styles with 690 drum patterns, rooted in soul and funk and extended toward pop, rock and alternative grooves. Five drum kits can be adjusted individually, and the Grit control adds retro dirt and energy to the sound.

The six Mix Presets each replace a full multi-bus effect chain on every instrument channel, which speeds up finishing a kit. Separate volume controls for each kit component, including overhead and room microphones, let you refine the balance before adding reverb.

Pairing DEEP With Bass and Who It Suits

According to UJAM, DEEP works with its companion bass instrument DANDY. Styles in both plugins share matching names, so picking the same style in each lets you build aligned bass and drum backings quickly. DEEP can also be used on its own.

Its 690 patterns and phrase export make it useful for producers who want editable drum parts in soul, funk, pop or rock productions rather than a fixed loop library.
