Why Choose Live Metal Drum Loops?
In the world of heavy metal, the drums are the engine. While many producers rely on sterile, programmed MIDI beats, Beta Monkey offers something different: 100% live, acoustic metal drum loops.
The "machine gun effect" of programmed double bass runs or snare fills can ruin a metal mix instantly. To get the authentic energy of a real band, you need the human element—slight velocity changes, natural room decay, and the physical power of a drummer hitting a kit. Our Double Bass Mania series captures that intensity, giving you the sound of a real session drummer in a pro studio.
The Double Bass Mania Series: A Legacy of Heavy
For over a decade, the Double Bass Mania series has been the industry standard for songwriters who need brutal, authentic backing tracks. We don't just record "rock drums" and speed them up. We hire extreme metal specialists to lay down genuine performances.
