About Beta Monkey Blues-Rock Drum Loops
Fusing Blues Feel with Hard-Hitting Rock Power
Blues-rock lives in the sweet spot where soulful swing meets explosive dynamics. Beta Monkey's blues-rock drum loops capture both sides of that equation: the swampy shuffle and ghost notes of classic blues, and the hard-hitting backbeat and power of rock drumming. These aren't polite jazz brushes or all-out metal assault—they're the down and dirty grooves that made Cream, the Allman Brothers, and ZZ Top legendary.
No MIDI. No quantization. No robotic precision. These loops are recorded 100% live by session drummers who understand that a blues shuffle needs to breathe, and a Southern rock groove needs to hit like a freight train.
Shuffles, Swings, and Southern Rock Grooves
Our blues-rock libraries cover every essential feel: classic 12/8 shuffles that lock with your guitar riffs, triplet-based swing grooves with attitude and pocket, straight-ahead rock beats with blues phrasing and dynamics, slow-burning ballad patterns that give your solos room to breathe, and uptempo Southern rock and boogie grooves that drive hard. Tempos range from slow blues crawls (60 BPM) to driving rock shuffles (140+ BPM).
From the swampy Louisiana shuffle to Texas boogie, from British blues-rock power to American Southern rock swagger—get the rhythms that inspire new directions in blues-rock, hard rock, and beyond.
Recorded by Session Players in Legendary Studios
These drums were tracked in the same Los Angeles and New York studios where classic blues-rock records were made. Vintage kits, classic microphone placement, and players who know the difference between playing a shuffle and feeling a shuffle.
