Playbacks for drummers Vol. 6 - odd Grooves     by Martin Häne (order number: GI 115)

Because of varied demands this CD is dedicated to odd grooves and syncopated rhythms. The rehearsal-band for ambitious drummers, that would like to practice more complex material ! Sylistic the CD is based on a rock-sound like bands as Metallica or Limp Bizkit. Because of the more complex grooves and - as its result  the real long drum-groove-samples, this CD contains only 9 playalong-tracks + 1 bonustrack.  But 2 of the drum-groove-samples have full length and contains drum-ideas for the fullsize playbacks.

Pure Drums Vol.1 - Jazz Grooves 1 (order number: GI 109)

This CD is the answer to different demands for  pure drum-tracks as session- and practise partner. Especially in the field of Jazz it is nearly impossible to program authentic drums. Our swinging 'Pure Drums' played by Michael Clifton and Michael Schwarz, two renowned drummers of the Jazz-scene in Berlin, take remedial action to this problem. No matter if your drummer is ill, if the session takes place in your living room or if you are simply looking for a partner - this CD is the perfect accompaniment. It can also be used for sampling ( limited as the tracks were recorded live, without a clicktrack): with the help of a timestretch function  the speed-adjustment should no longer be a problem!      price: 12,90 €

Review 'DrumHeads' (01/2006)

Playbacks for Drummers Vol. 1 - 4

Drummers should practise and make as much music as possible. Of course you can play the grooves for hours and hours in your rehearsal room, but what really counts and makes up the feelings is the surrounding music. Therefore, the Groove it-label has published  up to now four different Playalong -CDs that come along with cool songs in most various styles and difficult grades, reaching from Rock, Pop and Fusion  to Jazz and Big Band. There are short samples to each song with proposals on the basic groove. You can practise  with a whole band in a great sound without any grumpy bass players, silly guitar players or   nerve-racking singers around you. The approriate Lead Sheets and notes shall be available in the future too -  an excellent service for an already great price-performance-relation.

Review 'Drums & Percussion  (01/2006)

Playbacks for Drummers Vol.4

Of course playing the drums together with some music means more fun! If there is no band available Playalongs are a convenient substitute.  That is what songwriter and guitarist Martin Häne and his team have thought about and published CD number 4 of their series 'Playbacks for Drummers'.   The CD is mainly dedicated to the drum-beginner and its structure meets all his needs: 28 easy comprehensible tracks from Country, Jazz up to Funk and HardRock - surely, all of them with a great grove factor. At first  the 'Fullversions' of the songs can be heard, followed by the Playback versions to play along to (with click).  That means not only the beginner will feel like making music, but also the advanced musician,  as you can play whatever you want along to the Playbacks. A good, convenient thing! Leadsheets are available on the Tunesday Records Homepage : www.tunesdayrecords.de

Press-votes to the CD " Playbacks for Improvising Vol.1 " by Jörg Sieghart appeared on our Groove it Label of Tunesday Records:  

SOUND & VISION, issue 2 / 2002, called the production" exceptional " and moreover: " With the help of this production the one practicing can focus on the harmonic surroundings, while improvising, and that way develop the ability of playing solo. Already, the first Track in C-major has despite its simple harmonies a good sound so that even beginners can deal with it easily and develop their abilities with the help of the CD.  

KEYBOARDS, issue 7 / 2002 - review by pianist Wolfgang Wierzyk,: " The CD sounds very good and "fresh" and not at all artificial. The songs are varied and stylistically diversified." And further on: " With 12. - Euro the CD is well-priced", as well as: "conclusion: a promising approach, which should not be endangered by copying this CD in view of the truly favorable price."  

MUSICOUTLOOK, issue 6/2002,: " The effect of learning exceeds by far only the stylistic one: That way trumpeters and saxophonists must also deal with, from their point of view, inconvenient guitar-specific keys like E-major or A-major, while the guitar-playing colleagues should also play their solos over the typical keys for brass, which is very useful for the ability of playing." And further on: " There is no need to argue about the quality of the production........Instrumentalists of each couleur can let off steam at home and can appear in the rehearsal without being upset. And that is really a good thing ." 

MUSICIAN, issue 6 / 2001,: "Something that was missing until now are Exercise-Playbacks for the Pop/Rock section, which introduce the practicing one systematically into the matter and accompany him through the different harmonies and keys. With Groove it - Playbacks Vol.1 Jörg Sieghart has filled this gap in the market, successfully. And further on: " More CDs in the playback-series are due to follow... ... we are curious and pleased with Jörg Sieghart`s commitment, which enriches the market decisively." 

MUSICIANS MAGAZINE, issue 2/2003 - Magazine of the German Rock-Musician-Association,: 

 " The investment is worthwhile for each band ".  

Quotations of musicians on the CD " Playbacks for improvising " Vol. 1 by Jörg Sieghart (for all lead-instruments):  

Richard Palmer-James - founder member and ex-guitarist of SUPERTRAMP comments:  

"... No dry practice-patterns but lovingly arranged and well-composed pieces in many different styles and tempos, which work as ideal scenarios for your own fantasies as a soloist..."  

Haymo Doerk - professional musician, ex-guitarist of Poems for Laila and guest-guitarist of Engerling as well as Scirocco - thinks:  

" Whether for instruction, for trying out new ideas or simply for letting of steam - these playbacks deliver a groovy, vivid and well sounding playalong, as one can only wish for as a soloist. With the push of just one button each key and style from pop to rock is available - wonderful "!  

Jürgen Birlinger - highly considered Singer/Songwriter, guitarist and music-teacher - says:  

" With different stylistics of rock and pop-music, this CD offers very well done playbacks for improvisation. Here, beginners as well as advanced musicians can experience themselves as frontman of a modern Rock/Pop-Band and enlarge their instrumental proficiency in playing solo. A modern orchestration and up-to-date grooves provide a lot of fun.  

Moreover, this CD is an absolute enrichment for the progressive instrumental-school! Well tempered and motivated students, who are finally allowed to rock and who have the possibility to try out what they have learned under real conditions, prove it....Good that there is" Play-A-Long " CD, now, for future rock- and popstars!  

The internet domain for musicians, Bloom, writes in their review by Robert Kneschke:  

" Ahem, because of playing around on my guitar I had almost forgotten to write this review. If a Playback-CD can distract that much, that is a good sign. .......................... A sonorous, diatonical carpet is created by percussion, rhythm-guitar, bass and keyboard, to which soloists can play and let off steam. ................................. .Now, please excuse me, I would like to keep on playing to track 14, reggae in G-major."
