Why Double Bass Mania for Your Choice of Metal?
In the world of heavy metal music, the drums reign supreme. So, while many musicians rely on programmed MIDI drum tracks these days, Beta Monkey offers the real thing: 100% live drum performances in the same studios where some of your favorite metal albums were tracked.
The painfully-obvious "machine gun effect" of programmed double bass runs or snare fills can ruin the vibe instantly. In today's world of AI-this or virtual-that, you need the human element now more than ever: dynamics, musicality, and the sheer visceral power of a drummer hitting a drum kit hard. Repeatedly. Our Double Bass Mania series captures that, because that's exactly what we offer: a few killer metal drummers shredding away in some of the best recording studios we could find.
The Double Bass Mania Series: A Legacy of Heavy
For years, the Double Bass Mania series has been the "go-to" for songwriters who need brutal drum tracks. We're not recording rock drums and speeding them up or adding a few double kick flourishes. We hire the metal drummers you know and love to lay down the real thing.
- 100% Live Drums: No programmed patterns, no quantized to the grid grooves, no virtual anything. Real drums. Real drummers. Real recording studios. It's not that complicated.
- Production Ready: Behind the mixes are the same engineers who mix metal music for a living. Punchy kicks, cracking snares, and aggressively-tight toms... the kind of drum mixes that sit perfectly in heavy mixes, past or present.
- Complete Songwriting Production Tools: Every library includes matching metal drum samples (one-shots) so you can reinforce the kick or build your own breakdowns.
- Recording Session Matching: Combine sample libraries from the same recording sessions for a even more massive metal songwriting resource: DBM1 pairs with Drum Werks II (Reloaded Sessions). DBM3 with DBM4 (Thrash and Speed Sessions). DBM5 with DBM6 (Doom Sessions). DBM7 with DBM 8 (Deathcore Sessions).
Covering Every Sub-Genre of Metal
Metal isn't just one speed. Different volumes in the Double Bass Mania Series target specific metal genres and sub-genres:
- Thrash & Speed Metal: Blistering tempos (180 BPM+) and skank beats for the shredders.
- Death Metal & Deathcore: Precision blast beats, gravity blasts, and technical fills.
- Doom & Sludge: Slow, heavy, and hypnotic grooves (25-60 BPM) for the stoner/doom crowd.
- Modern Metal & Djent: Polyrhythmic patterns and tight, dry mixes for modern production styles.
Compatible with All DAWs
Whether you use Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Reaper, or Ableton Live, our metal drum loops are ready to drag and drop. All downloads include 16-bit and 24-bit WAV files, REX2 files for tempo flexibility, and Apple Loops for Logic users.
