Loopmasters has introduced a sample pack by accomplished drummer and engineer Matt Snowden which boasts a wide range of huge-sounding, rock drum loops.
The royalty free Rock Drums contains both steady and fast-paced options geared towards rock and indie productions.
Inside, you’ll find over 170 live drum loops showcasing two different snare options, multiple playing styles, and rhythmic patterns. There are funkier grooves, more afro-rock-inspired ones, mellow takes, and hard rock beats. You’ll also get a couple of drum fills for seamless transitions. This collection is simply perfect for anyone looking for that timeless rock feel.
The kit includes Yamaha and DW drums, Zildjian K and A Custom cymbals, captured using a blend of modern and vintage microphones, such as Coles 4038 ribbon mics. Preamps include Neve 1073s, paired with Amek and SSL G series EQs, and the drums were mixed using Zulu passive tape compression. While these drums come with a tasteful amount of saturation and compression, there’s plenty of room to process them further to suit your production needs.
The Loopcloud-ready pack is available to purchase for £24.95 GBP.
