Handy Grooves: Country drum loops you can actually use

Handy Grooves: Country drum loops you can actually use

We know the chances are that you will likely start with simple things and let your music grow from there. You don’t want a drum loop that sounds like a drummer is getting paid by the number of notes he plays.

 

This Country drum loop collection contains very basic grooves in addition to the more complex ones. As the name implies, you can actually use these loops in your music to make it groove.

They snap together beautifully, particularly when you meld
the appropriate genre-flavoured grooves with their respective kits.

Human Feel

Zoomed in view of midi note off grid indicating human feel.

Great drummers shift the timing of certain beats ever so slightly to create a more groovy beat while keeping the groove consistent. Be it laying back on the snare, swinging of the hats or kick, they all contribute to what makes a drummer groove feel good in music.

Expertly Edited

Expertly Edited

Merely recording even a world-class Country drummer on an e-drumset doesn’t guarantee the end results will translate to an acoustic-like performance.

We carefully edit each note so that what you hear sounds as close as possible to what a great session Country drummer would sound on acoustic drums. We then make sure that the feel is consistent throughout and that the grooves loop seamlessly.

Micro-Dynamics

Demonstration of dynamics of midi files.

Humans play dynamically, accent some notes, and play others softer or “ghosting” them to achieve groovy and driving beats, almost making the drums “talk.”

Micro-dynamics can make or break a groove. Properly sampled instruments sound different depending on how hard they are played. 

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

“In the Pocket”

“In the Pocket”

Together, human timing, microdynamics, and articulation are some of the elements that make a groove sound “in the pocket.” Drummers spend years perfecting their own “feel,” trying to get the best combination of those. Although nothing beats a great drummer playing real drums, we did our best to translate as much of that essence as possible into our Country drum loops and into your music.

Practical time-saver

Save time programming when you use one of our Country drum loops as the starting point. With the main beat, dynamics, and human feel already in place, customize them by muting, dragging, changing 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. Handy Grooves loops were created for Handy Drums plugins, which accomplish variable hi-hats in the most practical and easy way possible.

 

The hi-hats occupy only two notes: one for the edge and the other for the tip sounds, and you can regulate the openness by utilizing the CC4.

 

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