Your Favorite Drum Loops?

undermind · 20th November 2007, 09:15 PM

I use a combination of samples via midi and loops in my music. Loops can work well for me when they're well done, but I find so many are NOT well done. There is a huge variety in terms of quality I've found from the big names such as Big Fish Audio and Sony (formerly Sonic Foundry). I've heard many that are completely unusable in any "decent" songs.

Style of course is a big factor. I find most "rock" loops are extremely boring and stiff. Usually I have to use something in a jazz or R&B category to not sound like I've got AC/DC's drummer on my songs. I like a more open, loose feel. And generally I find there isn't much in the way of dynamics. In other words, the drummers only know how to hit hard.

I think that Sony's Drums From the Big Room was very well done, probably the best I've heard. I'd like to find more that are well done, and would appreciate any suggestions. I know there are demo's up on Sony's and BFA's website, I'd just like to see what you guys are liking.

Thanks

stylus rmx from spectrasonics is my favourite source for loops.
theres a ton of additional material available for it in case the onboard loops are not enough.
