Every Beta Monkey drum loop you'll ever hear was recorded live by pro drummers in legendary studios. No MIDI. No programming. No samples of samples. Just authentic, hard-hitting live acoustic drums with the exact kind of power, dynamic range, and human feel that makes all the difference.
Whether you're writing classic rock, hard rock, alt-rock, indie, or punk, our 25+ libraries cover every rock style with grooves that inspire songwriting. From thunderous Bonham-style grooves to tight punk beats, from melodic alt-rock to aggressive modern hard rock—we've recorded the drum tracks loud electric guitars deserve. Learn why songwriters always choose live acoustic drum loops over MIDI, if given a choice.
Featuring performances by some of LA and New York's most sought-after studio drummers, we're offering your the the same players who've recorded on Grammy-winning albums and platinum records. Recorded in legendary drum rooms (with all the expensive microphones, preamps, and rack effects!), these loops capture the authentic tone and vibe that real rooms capture. Tracking notes are included in the individual product descriptions whenever possible.
Every rock drum loop library includes everything you need to build complete drum tracks: verse grooves, chorus patterns, fills, transitions, intros, and endings. Plus, each library comes with matching multi-velocity drum samples, so you can layer your own custom hits or build hybrid grooves. Not sure where to start?
