Why Double Bass Mania for Your Choice of Metal?
In the world of heavy metal music, the drums are the engine. So, while many musicians rely on stiff, programmed MIDI drum tracks, Beta Monkey offers the real thing: metal drum loops that are 100% live and acoustic drum performances .
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: musical dynamics (velocity changes), natural room decay, and the visceral power of a drummer physically hitting a drum kit. Our Double Bass Mania series captures that intensity, giving you the sound of a pro drummer in some of the same studios your favorite albums were recorded.
The Double Bass Mania Series: A Legacy of Heavy
For years, 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 the metal drummers you know and love to lay down genuine performances.
- 100% Acoustic: No programmed patterns, no uber-quantized grooves, no virtual anything. Real drums. Real drummers. Real recording studios. It's not that complicated.
- Production Ready: Behind the mixes are the same engineers who mix metal music for a living. Punchy kicks, cracking snares, and aggressively-tight toms... the kind of drum mixes that sit perfectly in a heavy mix.
- Complete Songwriting Tools: Every library includes matching metal drum samples (one-shots) so you can reinforce the kick or build your own breakdowns.
