R&B Drum Loops for Those Classic and Timeless Grooves!

Drum Werks XIII: Funky Motown is for all songwriters looking for R&B drum loops in tempos ranging from 60-150 BPM. Everything we captured in these recording sessions was inspired by the timeless grooves of early Motown and James Brown, but add a bit of Funkadelic and hip-hop as well to add a dynamic twist to the beats.

With a naturally crisp snare, punchy kick, and round tom sounds, the loops jump through in a clean and natural mix. We went with a traditional drum mic setup, really going for that live, airy kit sound that you can only get with minimal mics with extreme care in mic placement. So, if you’re after naturally warm and punchy drums, then Drum Werks XIII will deliver the sounds you’re after.

Not only do you get tasty sould and RnB grooves, but Drum Werks XIII features a consistent single recording session sound across the entire disc. Mixing any groove or fill from the disc is seamless. Maximum versatility and funkiness, all in one package.

Drum Werks XIII brings the funk and elusive feel that sits between the notes. Think your MIDI can compete with the funky essence of a live player? Can a virtual drummer really serve up the special ghost-note sauce with a side of soul to go? Ever read about those timeless Motown records  and hear the terms ‘quantization’ or ‘Beat Detective’? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then these are not the loops for you!

All in all, Drum Werks XIII features all-natural natural sounds, an old-school drum mix, and infectious funk and soul grooves. Drum Werks XIII is pure rhythmic inspiration. Inspire your funk drum tracks and songwriting with these old-school R&B drum loops.
