Percussion Loops in the 70-90bpm ranges.




I've realized that my beats lack a lot of percussive elements. It's bout the hardest thing to come up with on my own. I'm really feeling the percussion and drums in this song. Where is the best place to find percussion loops like the one he used? They give such good groove and movement to the track.

There's a ton of companies that do loops like that, with all sorts of percussive instruments. So many that I can't even name one off the top of my head. Google percussion loops and it'll probably bring some up.

If you're on mac have a look through your apple loops, until you buy some loops... A lot of companies actually release loops in Apple Loop format, so they fit to the project tempo automatically (In Logic at least).

honestly, just buy a bongo and/or some congos and make your own loops. Percussion instruments are really cheap. You can get a maracas, tambourines, etc and make some dope live percussion loops really easy. If you can tap out a rhythm on your desk with your hands, you can play the bongos and make some good loops.

You can just buy loops made, but its a lot more fun to make them yourself, and thats the whole point making music to have fun doing it

Agree with both ..literally tons of free perc loops just google. Alternatively o would pick up a basic perc set or just improvise! Grab a dynamic get a glass full of coins and shake it ya know. I prefer the flexibility of this method but also use loops from my library be it my own or others.

Not to hijack the thread, but man I would love to know the settings that make the guitar sound like screams.
