There’s nothing I love more than laying down a solid groove on the drums. With the recent popularity of mash ups it seems that everyone is looking for nice clean drum beats to sample so I made some. These free GarageBand drum loops are made using electronic drums in my apartment and they are free so go ahead and use them. If you get rich using them I might call you begging for a cut but if you ask me to drum for you when you tour we might call it even.

I hope you like them and I want to make them better so please leave feedback and I’ll keep at it.

    This is great, well designed site, good format. Any chance of you using just a real snare and brushes. If you get a chance check out some Ray Charles in the mid 5o’s, it’s just him, piano, stand up bass and a single snare for the entire album..it’s heavy and very under-rated. Thanks for your works.

    Hey Matt,

    I make these loops on an electric kit and the one thing electric kits suck at is emulating the sound of brushes on a snare drum. I don’t have the equipment to record acoustic drums right now but you could try sampling some of that Ray Charles stuff if you can. Find a bar or two where it’s just snare, chop it out of the song, loop it and play over it.

    Good luck and thanks for the compliments.
