The move formally brings the collective vision and values of the group's brand companies together under a new and visible, TC Group brand identity – increasing market awareness of both TC Group as a whole and of its individual brands.
While the companies have been linked by the same parent organisation for over a decade, and more recently shared sales co-ordination with the formation of sales organisations such as TC Group Americas (TCGA) and TC Group International (TCGI) in recent years, as well as increasingly collaborating on product development; individual brand identities have remained separate with no visible connection between them.

When electric bass and drums play together, the low frequencies coming from the bass amp make the snare wires vibrate. This is called "sympathetic resonance". There isn't always the same sound, it depends on the frequency of the notes, the volume and the snare itself.

When you record bass and drums separately (using sample libraries or real instruments), this doesn't happen but, by adding W-Buzz to the mix, your tracks become more realistic and organic. It changes your perception.

They recorded it by playing an electric bass through an amp near a drum kit, with a mic pointing at the bottom of the snare, and just sampling that sound. We recommend using a LPF (low pass filter) to get rid of the bass and only let the snare sound come through.

Each note sampled because every frequency makes the snare vibrate in a different way. 2 round robin, sustain, mutes and glissandos.
