Why Real Funk Needs a Real Drummer

Funk is defined by what happens between the beats. The ghost notes on the snare, the slight swing of the hi-hat, and the interaction between the kick and bass guitar. You know, the kind of things you simply can't program with a mouse. To get that head-nodding groove into your music, you need live, "dig deep into the pocket" funk drumming. There's no other way.

Our Rock Hard Funk Series captures the essence of the genre's greatest eras. We recorded pro session players who understand the "One" and know how to lay back in the pocket.

From Old School Breaks to Modern Funk Hybrid Styles

We designed these sample libraries to cover the entire spectrum of funk drumming:

  • Classic 70s P-Funk: Heavy downbeats and greasy grooves inspired by the masters of the mothership.
  • Motown & Soul: Tight, dry mixes with that classic "dead snare" sound perfect for R&B and Hip Hop sampling.
  • Modern Fusion & Hybrid: The syncopation of funk with the attitude of rock and sensibility of pop brought together. How far you take your rhythm tracks is up to you.
  • Breakbeats & Fills: Looking for isolated drum breaks ready to be chopped, looped, and processed in your sampler? We've got what you itching for.

The Perfect Source for Sampling

Because we offer royalty-free funk samples, you can use these breaks in your beats without worrying about clearing samples from old vinyl records. You get the vintage vibe of a crate-digging find with the clean, high-quality audio of a modern studio recording.
