Live drum loops for classic rock… Introducing Drum Werks I

If you searched for “acoustic drum loops” back in 2002, you would have found next to nothing available for songwriters looking to get great drum tracks into their home studios. Well, we changed all that. Often imitated but never duplicated. Here’s the sample library that started it all!

Drum Werks Volume I offers over 680 MB of classic rock drum loops and samples for guitarists and songwriters. This is a cohesive collection of 100% acoustic drum loops. We recorded and mixed all drums in a single recording session for seamless loop track integration. This rock loop library has produced countless hard-hitting drum tracks since its release in 2002. The user-submitted tracks we’ve heard made Drum Werks I over the years have blown our minds.

If you are looking for drum loops with that big, open, drum sound of Led Zeppelin with inspired “Beats like Bonham” grooves, then these 1100 drum loops will more than satisfy your groove needs. With a powerfully punchy mix, these drums will deliver the power and warmth you expect from your drum tracks. All grooves, fills, and samples were recorded in a spacious recording studio in Brooklyn, NY with one goal in mind: to capture that big “rock sound.” And, what does that precisely mean? It means big, open, resonant drums with space to breathe and project. No muffling, no over-processing, and no tiny drum kits. Just a full-sized maple kit in a big room, hit hard. It’s as simple as that to capture the “big” sound that classic hard rock deserves.

It’s time you get some deliciously live classic drum loops behind your music with the collection that started it all for Beta Monkey.

Beta Monkey’s Drum Werks I Features

• Powerful Rock Drumming: This disc is not about funky patterns or anything clever. It is hard hitting powerful rock drumming from start to finish. Drum Werks I delivers rock solid half-time feels, heavy blues-based rock, mid-tempo classic rock and even some double bass riffing as well.
• Cohesive Groove Sets: All loops and samples are taken from the SAME recording session so they are sonically-matched. All the grooves, groove variations, fills, and one shots WILL mix with anything else on the disc. Tired of loop sets where the sounds vary from one folder to the next? – or worse, from file to file? Drum Werks I will take care of that.
• Fully-Sampled Drum and Cymbal Samples: We took the kit used in the recording sessions and included multi-velocity samples of the drums and cymbals.
• The Finishing Touches/One Shots: We also included cymbal swells, drum endings, and more. A lot of the “little” things most loop packs don’t include.
