An acoustic artist’s delight, World Percussion loops will add color and a World vibe to your tracks while providing deep, hypnotic grooves. 

 

Use them as they are, or even layer drumset grooves on top for a more contemporary approach. While many rhythms may sound familiar, you’ve never heard these unique percussion beats in this form. You will find plenty of inspiration and practical applications, from simple udu and shaker beats to complex percussion section syncopated grooves.

 

You may even find yourself unwillingly rocking to the beat of these loops.

 

Included in the World Percussion loop collection are:

  • A total of 98 percussion grooves based on 49 percussion rhythms
  • A total of 294 dedicated percussion fills, 3 for each section.
  • Each percussion rhythm has 2 groove versions: a simple and a complex one with several percussion layers, labeled as A and B sections.
  • 17 rhythms in 4/4 time signature (straight feel)
  • 8 rhythms in 6/8 time signature (straight feel)
  • 16 rhythms in 4/4 time signature (swung feel)
  • 8 rhythms in 6/8 time signature (swung feel)
  • Rhythms originate from Africa, India, the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe.
  • Great for acoustic singer-songwriters and New Age artists
  • Strange, never-before-heard names for each rhythm

Handy Grooves WORLD: Percussion loops you will use

Handy Grooves WORLD: Percussion loops you will use

Your music requires a solid rhythmic foundation, no matter what the genre is.

 

When producing these world percussion beats, we were mindful that they would play only a piece of a bigger musical puzzle. While they carry the groove forward, they also allow other instruments to shine.

 

Each of our World percussion loop rhythms contains an elementary version and a complex, colorful, full version with layered percussion instruments. 

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

Natural Feel

Zoomed in view of midi note off grid indicating human feel

Percussionists shift the timing of some beats ever so slightly to achieve grooves that feel good musically. Great ones manage to do so consistently.

 

Be it laying back on specific beats or swinging subdivisions, they all contribute to what makes a percussionist’s groove feel and sound a certain way.

 

You’ll find that our world percussion beats feel good and will inspire you to groove.

Expertly Edited and Programmed

Expertly Edited and Programmed

Whether a percussion groove is recorded or programmed, many minuscule details need to be taken into account before it is ready for prime time. No accidental notes should be present and everything needs to sound as intended and loop seamlessly.

 

Some percussion instruments can have several articulations depending on how they are played. We carefully audition all percussion loops and make the necessary adjustments to the timing, velocity, and articulations while removing unwanted notes.

 

The end result is world percussion loops that are clean, groovy, and musical.

Micro-Dynamics

Demonstration of dynamics of midi files

Microdynamics are differences in volume intensities within a single instrument. Quieter “ghost” notes played on percussion propel the groove forward and connect the spaces between the accented rhythms. They act as glue while leaving space for other instruments.

 

Microdynamics help our World Percussion midi beats groove with a flow.

“In the Pocket”

“In the Pocket”

Take a pinch of microdynamics, add a handful of grooves and a fair bit of articulation, and you are presented with “in the pocket” percussion grooves that mill forward like a freight train.

 

Although nothing beats a great percussionist playing real percussion, we did our best to translate that essence into our World percussion loops and over into your music.

Practical time-saver

Save valuable time by starting with our World Percussion beats, then tweak them into something of your own.

Even if you could program loops as good as these, would you have thought of them? Get inspired.

 

With the main percussion grooves, dynamics, and articulations already in place, customize them further by muting, dragging, changing the notes, and articulations while preserving the original rhythmic elements.
