Rock Hard Funk I – Funk Drum Loops and Samples for Funk-Rock, Jazz-Funk, & Neo-Soul

Thus versatile and intense collection offers over 1000 funk drum loops and samples with all the beats, breaks, and grooves you need to inspire any serious “groove intensive” project. Mix the improvisational mentality of jazz, the groove inventiveness of funk, and the powerful drum sounds of rock – a beautiful mix of groove experimentalism.

Quickly build drum tracks that feel right and sound great with this jam-packed toolbox of funked-up grooves. We captured the grooves of several accomplished and seasoned studio drummers. We set them loose to a variety of different tempos and feels. We recorded the beautiful sounds of a maple Drum Workshop recording kit and made sure to complement the 1000+ loops with a matching set of multi-velocity drum samples from the kit used in recording the loops, allowing greater flexibility in drum track construction.

Add some fresh breakbeat goodness to any sample library with Rock Hard Funk! Want more? This sample pack is included in the Funk Bundle.

Beta Monkey’s Rock Hard Funk Drum Loops Features:

• Versatile Blend of Funk, Funk-Rock, Neo-Soul Drum Styles: Think Soul Coughing, G. Love and Special Sauce, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dirty Loops and countless other “hard to categorize” bands. Rhythmic invention is the key here. This sample library spans a wide range of syncopated and deliciously-offbeat grooves inspired by the most iconic grooves in funk history.
• Fully-Sampled Multi-Velocity Drum and Cymbal Samples: The sample kit section includes an extensive collection of multi-velocity samples for all the drums and cymbals use to record the loops. While most sample packs only offer a handful of single hits, we have given you the entire kit. Build grooves from scratch or use them to augment any of the 1000+ loops.
• Superior Rhythmic Realism: Looking for the metronomic monotony found on too many sample CD’s? Your music deserves what only a live drummer can do – rolls, stick drags, dynamics not possible on anything but a real kit with a real player.
• Cohesive Groove Sets: All loops are taken from the SAME recording session (all grooves, fills, etc. are sonically-matched). Every loop found on BOTH CD’s will work seamlessly with any other loop! The ultimate in consistency for larger-scale projects.
• High-End Production: Recorded at The Plant Recording Studios (Sausalito, CA), a World-Class Recording Studio, home to numerous platinum and GRAMMY® Award Winning albums. Rock Hard Funk I is part of The Plant Sessions. Learn more about the The Plant recording session and other drum loop packs created during the recording.
