Beta Monkey Releases New Reggae Drum Loops

Inspired by classic and contemporary reggae drumming performances, Drum Werks XXI Reggae Drums is an all-new collection of reggae drum loops.

The  goal with this reggae collection was to capture the essence of the  reggae drummers of the 70's who set the standard for the elusive reggae feel and styles. Add this to more contemporary  artists and groove derivations and you get a truly unique collection of  live acoustic reggae drum loops.

Grooves  feature one drop beats as well as rocker variations, and are played  with a straight or triplet swing feel. All that wonderfully elusive feel of reggae is captured for traditionalists  but grooves also blend syncopated kick and snare patterns for a truly  distinctive style that will work well in more rock influenced projects.  These live reggae and reggae-rock rhythms will deliver a distinctive mix of the jazzy, funky style that influenced the  reggae genre.

These high-quality reggae drum loops are the perfect groove solution for reggae and rock-reggae drum tracks, delivering grooves to inspire artists after a pure reggae vibe as well as hybrid styles of rock-reggae.

Available in 16-bit and 24-bit WAV and APPLE LOOPS formats.

Drum Werks XXI: Reggae Grooves Features:

• Versatile Blend of reggae and rock-reggae styles: Think  classic reggae like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Burning Spear as well as the modern  rock-reggae hybrid styles of The Police and 311. One drops, rockers,  steppers - pure, reggae-inspired rhythms for a variety of musical  settings.
• Fully-Sampled Drum and Cymbal Samples: A  multi-velocity samples of a Yamaha Phoenix drumkit as well as matching Zildjian cymbals is included.  Build new grooves in your sequencer of choice or augment the loops to  create new syncopations.
• Superior Rhythmic Realism: No  stiff metronomic monotony found here - live, studio grooves show you what a live drummer can do - rolls, stick  drags, dynamics not possible on anything but a real kit with a real  player.
• Cohesive Groove Sets: All loops and samples are from a single recording session. All loops can be combined seamlessly giving users the ultimate in consistency for eclectic or larger-scale projects.
• High-End Production: With gold and platinum experience behind the kit and console, Drum Werks XXI delivers the quality your music deserves. Part of our L.A. Returns Sessions.
