Yes, there are a few Software Virtual Drummers that do this. Also these days, look out for libraries that have 'Round-Robin' samples. I've lifted the below from elsewhere, which sums it up nicely. "I doubt that you'll need to read a tutorial. Round-robin is simply a way to let sample developers play back a different sampled version of the same sound each time you hit the same key, so that just like most acoustic instruments each note sounds slightly different for more realism. This feature becomes particularly important with drum libraries to avoid the 'machine gun' effect of rapidly repeating the same (for instance) snare drum sound. By having two, four or eight slightly different snare samples, played back in sequence, you avoid such artificial-sounding effects, since if you keep hitting the same key it will play back (for instance): Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3, Sample 4, Sample 1, Sample 2...Sometimes they are random Sample1, Sample 3 etc..."

Yeah, he's great...He does a whole bunch of excellent arrangements on his YouTube channel. I like they way he goes about his voicings. A very talented musician: -

Blimey, don't push it. Anticipating beat one is "life in the fast lane" for some, it seems...

Yes , it is the same and I can't hear any 9/8 bars. Maybe some are getting confused with the 8th note (quaver) anticipations going on during the eight bar intro (before the two bars).

Totally agree. 👍 -
Although a bit pricey, Strezov Sampling release some of the best sample libraries out there. However, from time to time they release some freebies. And as usual with their libraries, they are excellent. The link below has the freebies up for grabs. The top line of Libs displayed will run in the Kontakt free players. The bottom line needs the full version of Kontakt. https://www.strezov-sampling.com/products/17/Freebies.html

A great track. The bar of 5/4 that comes at the end of the chorus/B section always makes me smile.... The Bass groove is also pretty 'on it'. It was played by a Bassist called Basil Fearrington (a busy session player back in the day). If you have twenty minutes to spare, have a watch of this interview with him. He has some interesting little anecdotes regarding his career:

Bad driving isn't unique to a Bass related number plate. In fact, on the Dalvey Custom 'baddrivingometer', I doubt it even registers.

You'll need to keep that plate nice and clean...You don't want the letter 'B' covered in mud and sh*te.
