RECORD WITH THE BEST
Get world-class studio drums without the high prices. One day of recording drums in a pro recording studio can run into the thousands. Getting A-List studio drummers can easily cost as much.
From famed studios in Los Angeles, Berkeley, Oakland, Nashville, New York City, and San Francisco, we bring those drum sounds directly to your tracks. Without the bill, of course.
Get More for Less
It's simple. You get quality drums for less with Beta Monkey. Forget the sample libraries that include a handful of loops and even fewer one shot drum samples. Compare our quality and quality with anyone else and there's no question.
The days of over-hyped yet underwhelming drum loops and samples are long gone.
Hard to Find Styles
We deliver the styles few, if any, other sample producers will touch. Looking for grooves in 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, or 12/8? Want to build drum tracks for blues, country, fusion, jazz, metal, rock? Brazilian or percussion tracks? We probably have it.
Find your grooves in our shop and get your music going today with our constantly-updated products.
A Simple Philosophy
We've remained the world’s most popular and independent samples for over 20 years for a simple reason: great drums, great prices, and great service.
It's time to find out for yourself why our drums have inspired over 105,000 artists worldwide to record, edit, and mix their drum tracks.
Why You Can't Program World Rhythms
Genres like Reggae, Ska, and Brazilian Samba rely entirely on "micro-timing." A computer grid is too perfect. It kills the swing of a Samba shaker pattern or the lazy, behind-the-beat feel of a Reggae rimshot. To get the vibe right, you need Live Percussion Samples.
Explore Our Specialized Libraries
- Reggae & Dub: Authentic "One Drop," "Steppers," and "Rockers" beats. Recorded with that classic dry, dead-snare sound essential for Dub production.
- Ska & Punk-Ska: High-energy, syncopated rhythms that bridge the gap between Caribbean groove and Punk attitude. Perfect for upbeat tracks.
- Brazilian Percussion: The real sound of the carnival. Surdos, Pandeiros, and Tamborims recorded in a live room for massive depth. Great for layering under pop or dance tracks.
- Studio Percussion Toolbox: A massive collection of Congas, Bongos, Shakers, and Timbales. These percussion loops add instant life and movement to any track in any genre.
Layering for Depth
The secret to a great mix is often what you feel, not what you hear. Layering our live shaker loops or conga patterns underneath a standard rock beat can add a professional "sheen" and forward momentum that a programmed hi-hat just can't match.
