ABOUT THIS DEAD DRUM LOOP

I love a good, dry production; a dead drum sound can really add tons of vibe a track. Indeed, lots of great tunes from the 70s featured this type of thing. Consequently, for this loop, I felt like a longer note on the snare could help carry this beat a bit more.

Whilst it may not sound exactly like it, the beat was inspired the Stone Temple Pilots’ vibes on their albums no.4 and Tiny Music. Both of these albums are fantastic and really worth a listen!

I’ve given the loop a quick mix with a some compression on the snare for that smack and ring to be nice and prominent. Of course, feel free to mess around with it as you please! The idea is for you to have fun with it, whether you go for a Latin feel or something totally different.

You can download this creative odd time drum loop @ 193 below and use it to write songs; it’s ready to loop so just drag and drop! Ultimately, I guess I just ask that you credit me if you release your song with the loop in it.
