DRUM BEATS WITH A HUMAN FEEL
All drummers deviate from mathematically perfect timing, and great drummers manage to do it consistently, making the music feel good.
Be it laying back on 2 & 4 on the snare or slight swinging of the hi-hats, they all help make a human groove feel good in music.
Our drum beats are not mathematically perfect, but they have that human magic injected into them while keeping a consistent feel.
EXPERTLY EDITED DRUM LOOPS
All drum loops included in our collection are clean and loop seamlessly. They have been carefully edited and programmed so that each note sounds as it would in real life if played by a human drummer.
MICRO-DYNAMICS
A rhythm played on a percussive instrument can have many dynamic levels within a single bar. Some notes are strong and used to spell out the main rhythm, while others are soft and “ghosted,” providing the much-needed flow. They act as “time glue,” bridging the gaps between accented notes while delivering a subliminal sense of time and groove.
Further, as the velocity of drum playing changes, articulations may also change, so having those at the correct levels is essential for natural-sounding grooves.
Our drum loops have the appropriate microdynamics to make them sound as natural as possible when played back through one of our drumsets on the BB.
“IN THE POCKET” BEATS
A rock-solid, consistent drum groove that fits well into the music is considered to be “in the pocket.” Solid timing, good feel, and microdynamics converge to make these loops sound realistic.
The drum beats in this pack will deliver “the pocket” with every loop, so all you need to do is to make sure to lock in with them.
