Everything But Sticks Reason ReFill:



Reason ReFill - Everything But Sticks

"Let's be honest. 99% of the drum loops in existence use sticks. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but isn't it time to do something different? This is why we set out to produce Everything But Sticks, a ReFill that take a new and fresh approach to grooves on the drum set.

By using a wide variety of brushes, mallets, bundles, kitchen utensils and even our bare hands, we were able to pull out an entire range of timbres and dynamics from the drum kit that sticks simply can't produce. For fans of our Cinematic Drums and Art of Brushes ReFills, Everything But Sticks will be a welcome addition to your arsenal of loops and samples. And if you're not familiar with some of our non-stick offerings, Everything But Sticks is the perfect place to start."

The Loop Loft - Indie Rock Drum Loops Vol.2

From The Loop Loft comes Indie Rock Drum Loops Vol.2:

Following on the success of our first Indie Rock Drums ReFill, Volume 2 delves even deeper into the many subgenres (and sounds) of indie rock. From the post-hardcore aggressiveness of Fugazi, to the slapbacked echos of Built to Spill, to the gritty blues of The Black Keys, this collection of loops and samples will give you those authentic DIY drums you've been searching for.

Recorded through classic Universal Audio 610 preamps, all of the loops are loaded into 28 unique Dr. Octo Rex patches, allowing you to quickly build custom drum arrangements tailored to your own songs. We also individually sampled every drum and cymbal from all of the sessions and created custom Kong and ReDrum patches, giving you the option to program your own beats utilizing our drum sounds.

On top of that, we designed a series of Combinators which tap into all of the great new effects in Reason 6, including The Echo, Pulveriser and Aligator. Combine that with feels ranging from Ted Leo-inspired uptempo shuffles to Pedro the Lion-esque 6/8 backbeats, and you have a complete arsenal of authentic indie rock drums at your disposal.

ReFill Specs:

- 250 REX2 Loops
- 67 WAV Samples

Multitrack Drum Session - The Loop Loft

One of my major gripes when using drum loops is the inability to pan the kit the way I want. Let alone trying to add effects to a single drum or mute the cymbals. The Loop Loft has solved these issues with Multitrack Drums:


"Sometimes loops just aren't enough. Do you ever wish you could ride the faders and control the individual elements of a live drum track? Well, now you can.... and for only $15! With our new series of multitrack drums, we provide you with 9 separate tracks of drums and percussion, giving you full control over the level, EQ, compression and effects for each instrument.

On top of that, we organize the sessions by song structure, breaking up different components of the song into different folders (intro, verse, chorus etc) and with each section of the song, we provide a multitude of groove and fill variations. Just listen to the preview clip, drag and drop the multitrack files into your session and start arranging and mixing. It's that easy. And since the tracks are WAV files, they're compatible with every major DAW including Logic, Ableton, GarageBand, Cubase, Pro Tools and many others."

The Loop Loft - Hip Hop Drums Vol.1

New from The Loop Loft - Hip Hop Drums Vol.1:

We've taken hip hop back to where it all started: with "real" live drums. We know it's hard enough to find tasty drum breaks in your vinyl collection (let alone, clear the samples for legal use), this is why we recorded an entire collection of loops dedicated to hip hop production. With a wide range of influences and styles spanning from Jay-Z, Kanye, Jurassic 5, The Beastie Boys and The Roots, Hip Hop Drums Volume 1 is a diverse collection of beats and samples, all recorded specifically for making hip hop tracks.

Each session of grooves comes with a multitude of beat variations (different kick, snare, hi hat and ride patterns) as well as numerous fills for seamless transitions and breakdowns. We also individually sampled every single drum, cymbal and percussion instrument, so you can easily program your own beats using the exact same drum sounds from the sessions. Just load them into your favorite MPC or sampler and go! From subsonic 808 kicks, to 12-bit glitchy snares to old school funk kits, you'll have a vast range of hip hop drum loops and samples at your fingertips.
