Slower Tempos, Deeper Groove

Most odd time drum loops rush through complex meters at breakneck speeds. Odd Time Meltdown III takes a different approach. With a focused tempo range of 50-75 bpm, these odd meter drum loops give your music room to explore the musicality of odd time signatures without sacrificing feel. Spacious, wide-open grooves sit comfortably alongside subtly complex rhythms—all performed live by one of L.A.’s top session drummers.

Why Odd Time Meltdown III?

Every odd meter drum loop was captured in a single recording session on a Mapex maple kit in one of Los Angeles’ premier drum rooms. Perfect sonic compatibility means you can mix time signatures freely, combine tempos seamlessly, and build authentic odd time drum tracks that actually groove. No quantization. No MIDI programming. Just natural, musical odd meter grooves recorded by a seasoned professional.
