"Behind the sticks on this volume is session drummer Shawn Pelton, and the drum loops are all excellently played on a multitude of kits, covering a wide variety of styles....the overall production and accompanying instrumentation is handled by Vinnie Zummo. Already known for his excellent New York Cutz hip-hop libraries, Mr Zummo is never stingy with the sheer amount of material he creates, and puts in some more impressive work for this release.....the all important 'live' feel is maintained throughout, even on the processed loops....it all adds up to a collection with bags of character...So does this latest instalment of the series live up to its predecessors? Most certainly. The playing and 'vibe' of the drum loops is first class, while the experimentation in the production and accompaniment is a welcome addition and acts as inspiration to get the creative juices flowing...if you're after a slice of raw groove with real personality, you've come to the right place"
