About Beta Monkey Alt-Rock Drum Loops
Raw, Unprocessed, Unapologetically Live
Alt-rock was never meant to be perfect. From the Seattle grunge explosion to modern indie rock, the best alt-rock drums have always had one thing in common: they feel human. Beta Monkey's alt-rock drum loops are recorded 100% live by session drummers who understand the difference between playing tight and playing *right*.
No MIDI. No quantization. No studio polish. These loops capture the loose, raw energy that made grunge and garage rock a rebellion against over-produced music. If you're looking for the sonic DNA of Nirvana's "In Utero," Soundgarden's "Badmotorfinger," or The Strokes' "Is This It," you're in the right place.
