These Reggae midi drum loops are squeaky clean and contain only the musical elements you expect to get. We did whatever was necessary to make every note sound the way it should when played back through a drum plugin.
Although it is best to have a great Reggae drummer laying down a fat Reggae groove on acoustic drums, we did our best to bring your music as much of that essence as possible with our Reggae drum loops.
Variable hi-hats allow you to easily adjust how open or how close a hi-hat is played. We created handy Grooves REGGAE DRUMS loops for Handy Drums plugins, which accomplish variable hi-hats most practically and efficiently possible.
The hi-hats utilize only two midi notes: one for the edge and the other for the tip sounds, and you can manipulate the openness by employing the CC4. Tighten or loosen the hi-hats ever so slightly with a turn of the mod wheel. So simple, our grandma can do it.
Pair the Handy Grooves REGGAE DRUMS loops with Handy Drums REGGAE STANDARD plugin, our ultra-realistic, authentic Reggae-sounding sampled drum plug-in, for best results and to take advantage of variable hi-hats.
They were literarily made for each other. Ying and yang at their finest. The MIDI loops come with an installer that offers seamless integration with Handy Drums, making them instantly accessible within their MIDI Loop Browser. Bring your tracks to the next level and enjoy album-like playback right out of the box.
Goran's drum set libraries and drum loops are used by over 90,000 performing musicians and studio producers worldwide. They are the soul and groove behind one of today's most popular and best-selling drum machines- BeatBuddy.
Drumdrops has over 400 drum tracks for you to purchase in multiple formats. All of the drum tracks can be purchased as unmixed live drum multi-tracks. These feature full length takes with all the separate drum mics recorded as 24 bit 44.1 WAVs and come with the Pro Tools session file, an OMF file to import into other DAW and a beat tempo map for syncing up external drum machines. The multi-tracks are perfect for people who want to experiment with setting up their own drum mix and have total control over the sound.
A large selection of the drum tracks are available to purchase as drum stem packs which contain the main stereo mix and sections of the drums mixed down. These packs are better for those who don't want to spend time setting up the mix. We have done the hard work for you, mixing them in commercial studios on vintage gear.
Finally a smaller selection of the drum tracks can be purchased as drum loops. Each mixed drum track has been cut down to about seven 2-4 bar loops and provided in the different drum components - full mix, full kit, kick and snare. The drum loops have been provided as WAVs, Apple Loops and Rex2 files meaning they will import into any sampler or DAW.
Purveyors of the finest live drum multi-tracks, stems, drum loops, drum samples and single hit kits. We are constantly developing and recording new drum loops and samples. If there are any products you'd love to see that we don't already sell, please get in touch!
Thanks all - as someone new to iOS music making it is actually quite interesting to compare this developing world to VSTs where you expect and normally have multiple options for any possible need. I have plenty of midi loops, and indeed the Reggae midi pack for Addictive Drums 2, so I have options.
Virsyn's Audiolayer can't currently load big EXS24 libraries (like Drumdrops) but in the coming update it will be possible along with SFZ so then one can finally load all the Drumdrops libraries and the problem with realistic AUv3 drums is solved No clue when the update will be released..

These tuff drum loops are 100% royalty free and ideal for song writers who want to access heavy dubbed out beats for their arrangement.
Mark Fletcher's CV reads a bit like a modern jazz lover's record shelf. From Ronnie Scott and Pete King, Hatfield and The North and Gary Husband to the final line-up of Soft Machine to feature Elton Dean and Hugh Hopper, if you know their names Mark Fletcher has probably played with them. Fletcher's style is deeply aggressive whilst rock solid whether swinging, grooving or dancing round odd metres.

Do not, we repeat ''DO NOT'' attempt to produce authentic reggae beats without using these live acoustic reggae drum loops and ska drum loops for Garageband. You see, modern technology is pretty great and MIDI drums have come a long way, but they still can't (and never will) match the sheer finesse and tone of a live reggae drummer. The drum fills alone are enough to convince you that for Reggae at least, 'live' is where it's at.
Those grooves have been around for a long time and they aren't going anywhere. Download these live Reggaeton drum loops for Garageband and get the most out of the Apple Loops technology you know and love.
Apple loops are specially formatted AIF files which contain meta data. This information ensures that your Apple Loops will contain transient points, key and tempo references and other useful data within the file itself.
You can load all of our free Garageband loops by dragging and dropping the unzipped .AIFF files from your local folder directly into the loop browser within Garageband. To import the files to the iPad version of Garageband you'll need to do that via iTunes.
This Sample Pack features a huge collection of live recorded Intro Rolls, Grooves, Drum Fills and One Shots, sampled on a punchy and fat drum kit.

I enjoy taking small snippets of complex tunes and using them to practice these aspects of drumming. While it is challenging to learn a note-for-note transcription of a master playing on an odd meter tune, I find it more efficient to loop a small phrase of one or two bars and explore it.
When playing to a repetitive odd meter bass line you must both count and feel the groove. There is a sweet spot for us all in between the technical counting and simply grooving on a jam. Ex. 2 shows the groove that DeJohnette plays to start the piece.
Going through these groove patterns will give you insight on the subtle ways to modify a groove without straying too far from home base. Another method that will help with note placement is to superimpose a groove in 4 over the odd bars. This will expose if there is any inconsistency within your groove and subdivision. Try playing the a 4/4 pattern over the loop (Ex. 5), and remember to count out loud or use a click in 9 with an accent on beat 1.
