Human Feel

Zoomed in view of midi note off grid indicating human feel

We drummers play off the grid. No, not the electric one. The mathematical one. The best amongst us manage to do so reliably, making the music groove and feel good.

 

All the slight deviations from the perfect timing are one of the elements that make a groove sound natural.

 

While we didn’t get carried away too far from the grid, we gave our best to make these Reggae drum loops worthy of rasta attention.

Expertly Edited and Programmed

Expertly Edited And Programmed

Recording on e-drums doesn’t always turn out the way we imagine it would. It frequently requires clean-up and careful adjustments of velocities and timing.

 

These Reggae midi drum loops are squeaky clean and contain only the musical elements you expect to get. We did whatever was necessary to make every note sound the way it should when played back through a drum plugin.

Micro-Dynamics

Demonstration of dynamics of midi files

Micro-dynamics can make or break a groove. They can either make a MIDI loop sound, oh, so robotic and fake, or indistinguishable from the real thing.

 

Many sampled percussion instruments sound different depending on how hard they are played. Playing them back with the proper articulations requires careful attention to individual notes’ velocity levels within a drum loop.

 

Our Reggae midi drum loops contain the all-important realistic dynamics and articulations to convey the natural performance.

“In the Pocket”

“In the Pocket”

Human timing and microdynamics combined with articulations are elements of “in the pocket” grooves. 

 

Although it is best to have a great Reggae drummer laying down a fat Reggae groove on acoustic drums, we did our best to bring your music as much of that essence as possible with our Reggae drum loops.

 

These Reggae drum loops are rock-solid, sound natural, feel good and loop seamlessly. What’s not to like?

Practical time-saver

An authentic Reggae groove is only a drag-n-drop away from your production. With the solid Reggae beat already in place, you are free to focus on other elements of your songs.

 

Customizing these loops is straightforward and fun. Mute, drag, change the notes, or even drum kits while preserving the original human elements.

Variable Hi-hats

Variable Hi Hats- What Are They And How To Utilize Them Within Handy Drums?

Variable Hi-hats

Variable hi-hats allow you to easily adjust how open or how close a hi-hat is played. We created handy Grooves REGGAE DRUMS loops for Handy Drums plugins, which accomplish variable hi-hats most practically and efficiently possible.

 

The hi-hats utilize only two midi notes: one for the edge and the other for the tip sounds, and you can manipulate the openness by employing the CC4. Tighten or loosen the hi-hats ever so slightly with a turn of the mod wheel. So simple, our grandma can do it.

 

This approach streamlines something that was previously more of a time sink of assigning notes to each articulation.
