There’s Only One Way to Rock… with the Classic Heavy Rock Drums of Drum Werks XVI
Time to get rocking with nearly 250 classic heavy rock drum loops (and 350 multi-velocity drum samples), inspired by some of the best rock drumming of the 70s and 80s.
Let’s be honest. Rock music needs real drums.Programming your own MIDI might work, but can it deliver the sheer human power and nuance of a seasoned L.A. session player? Drum Werks XVI delivers the human feel you want. World-class rock drum tracks are quick and easy with this versatile downloadable pack of classic and contemporary rock drum grooves ranging from 50 BPM to 160 BPM. Building a powerful rock drum track is as simple as ‘drag and drop’.
Drum Werks XVI is packed with essential heavy classic rock drum loops to give your songwriting projects what they need: no-nonsense, hard-hitting rock drumming.
This powerful collection will deliver the goods to any rock star, whether you cut your teeth on Zeppelin or the Foo Fighters, with an unrelenting attack of powerful live drums recorded in one of Los Angele’s “go-to” drum rooms. All live and ready for your next songwriting project.
Drum Werks XVI features exclusive Groove Folders concept. Groove Folders include song starter drum loops, multiple beat variations, fills, single shots, and single hit samples. Choose from hundreds of rock solid grooves, groove variations, and fills to complete your project with a powerful sound and unparalleled realism. Each Groove Set includes all the vital elements for drag and drop song construction (intro fills, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge loops as well as endings). Even Recording Magazine was impressed with the the quality and usability of our L.A. Series of rock drum loops.
And, with our industry trend-setting “Single Session” sample library approach, you get a consistent drum sound for all loops and samples to make mixing and matching between Groove Sets seamless. And, with the many longer loops (four and eight bars) on Drum Werks XVI, you get even more realistic drum tracks. You definitely won’t have the “sounds like a loop” syndrome (repeating the same one-bar pattern over and over) found in competing products or free loop download sites.
Get the rock-solid rhythmic foundation your music deserves. Get Drum Werks XVI.

Ryan F –
Great playing and great sounding. So much room to process the drums if needed, though they are “nearly” perfect “as is” for much of the rock stuff I am writing. Is there even such a thing as a perfect drum mix? HAHA
James S –
Great drum pack. Well-recorded and played. Great to have a single drum mix to make everything seamlessly fit in terms of sound. Lots of great grooves to choose from, especially the 100 BPm folder (though I have been using some of those to work with the smaller 50 BPM set folder drums as well). Since these work with some other packs in the LA Series, I will look at those next.
Will Curtis –
Great-sounding drums, nice and natural, perfect for the project I am working on. Having the full collection of single hits is genius. Those really come in handy for breaks and stops. I will definitely get more from this L.A Series.
