Funk Drum Loops and Samples
Our funk drum loops deliver the ‘pocket’ that only a live drummer can create and with one single purpose: To inject serious groove into your music. From the slinky ghost notes of Oakland Soul to the driving syncopated backbeats of P-Funk, the Rock Hard Funk Series delivers
Forget the programmed beats and drum machines, these funk drum packs groove with human feel and dynamics. And, whether you are producing Neo-Soul, R&B, or fusion, we have the tight, fat or punchy drum sounds you need.
All product downloads include 16-bit, 24-bit WAV, Apple Loops, and REX2 loop formats and matching multi-velocity single hit one-shots for all drums and cymbals recorded in the sessions.
Why Funk Needs a Real Drummer
Funk is defined by what happens between the beats. The ghost notes on the snare, the slight swing of the hi-hat, and the interaction between the kick and snare. You know, the kind of things you simply can't program with a mouse. To get that head-nodding groove into your music, you need live, "dig deep into the pocket" funk drumming. There's no other way.
Our Rock Hard Funk Series captures the essence of the genre's greatest eras. We recorded the session drummers who understand how to lay back in the pocket and make it funky.
From Old School Breaks to Modern Funk Styles
We designed these sample libraries to cover the entire spectrum of funk drumming:
- Classic 70s P-Funk: Heavy downbeats and greasy grooves inspired by the masters of the mothership.
- Motown & Soul: Tight, dry mixes with that classic "dead snare" sound perfect for R&B and Hip Hop sampling.
- Modern Fusion & Hybrid Funk Styles: The syncopation of funk with the attitude of rock and sensibility of pop brought together. How far you take your rhythm tracks is up to you.
- Breakbeats & Fills: We offer thousands of isolated drum breaks ready to be chopped, mangled, repitched, and processed in your sampler. We've got what you itching for.
The Perfect Source for Sampling
Because we offer royalty-free funk samples, you can use these breaks in your beats without worrying about clearing samples from classic vinyl records. You get the vintage vibe of a crate-digging find with the clean, high-quality audio of a modern studio recording.
