A chilled Tiki cocktail in your hand, the gentle sound of the waves lapping at the beach and the perfect island soundtrack thanks to Aloha Hawaii. With that classic combination of softly played drums, gentle bass, ukulele chords and the iconic sound of the pedal and lap steel guitar, Aloha Hawaii is the musical signature of a tropical paradise.
Across 5 constructions kits, Aloha Hawaii captures the style to perfection. With 2.8 GB of samples, each of these kits includes 3 or 4 main parts plus dedicated intro and outro sections. Original tempos span a laid-back 70 to 110 BPM, swinging you softly like a welcome onshore breeze. Both 4/4 and 6/8 time signatures are included. With over 600 individual loops of up to 42 seconds in length, there are endless possibilities for creating full-length arrangements.
Light acoustic drums featuring a brushed snare and minimal cymbals accompanied by a warm electric bass form the foundation. However, it's the twin ukulele parts present within each section that provide the magical hip-swaying hula rhythms. Additional harmonies, and those distinctive sun-filled melodic lines and slides, are provided curtesy of lap steel and pedalsteel guitar performances. Gentle glockenspiel parts add additional flavor for a relaxed atmosphere.
On the technical front, pre-mixed stereo drum loops are supplied ready to go. Individual loops are also included for kick (in and out), snare (top, bottom and trigger), hi-hat, cymbals, overheads and room mics. This gives you complete control over your drum mix if needed. Electric bass parts are provided as both DI and mic versions, as well as a processed version ready to drop straight into your mix. For the two ukulele parts, both dry and FX versions (with EQ, compression and reverb) are provided. Pedal and lap steel parts within each kit are also provided both dry and with FX. Your individual mix can come together in double-quick time.
If your latest project needs to recreate the authentic sound of 60s Hawaiian Pop, then Aloha Hawaii will send you on a musical journey to the land of dreams. If required, the loop pack would find some complimentary sounds within our Pedal Steel, Ukulele and Steel Pan titles. Take your listeners to a musical island paradise with some perfect tropical tunes. Or blend the sounds into a genre of your choice and let the sun shine.
