Natural, Gritty and Live: Acoustic Drums for Rock, Bluesy-Rock & Alt-Rock
There’s a reason why the drums of the 60s and 70s still sound so good. The before-digital warmth of outboard gear and classic preamps gave the drums body and presence, something hard to find in many modern recordings (though they keep trying with plugin after plugin). Recorded at one of New York City’s premier studios, Drum Werks IV captures that classic studio rock sound that continues to inspire.
The drums were recorded at one of New York City’s most in-demand studios and offer that classic vintage vibe New York City studios are famous for. Drum Werks Volume IV offers a massive collection of both straight and shuffled feels – enough beats and fills in a variety of tempos and feels to keep any songwriter busy for months.Drum Werks Volume IV features over 686 MB of drum loops and samples perfect for rock, bluesy-rock, and modern alternative rock. The maple drums used for recording have a warm and very natural sound, an edgy and crispy analog vibe perfect for any project needing a quintessential New York City studio drum mix.
These drum tracks were inspired by a number of artists, fusing together different rock sensibilities and playing style all in one drum sample pack. Whether you’re a fan of Led Zeppelin or Tom Petty, Queens of the Stone Age or AC/DC, Drum Werks IV is focused on gritty, punchy, live acoustic drums. It has a bit of laid-back rock with some swing just as much as it delivers driving uptempo grooves, covering tempos from 63-175 BPM with one thing in common: infectious energy with a timeless drum mix captured on some truly one-of-a-kind analog gear throughout the signal path.
So, if you are looking for a sound you won’t find in MIDI drum loops, this is a versatile selection of drum loops and samples that will inspire any songwriter.

“I bought your Drum Werks Volume IV acoustic rock drum loop cd. The kit sounds great. It’s a great idea to leave room in the wav file for editing. Most samples are so hot that any effects clips them out. I can make your drum loops sound close to anything I want. I love the way the loops are organized. It’s simple and it makes sense. More than once, I have spent twice as much on loops and gotten half as much useful material.
Thanks a lot!”

“Chris, you’re a star, thanks a million! I bought the Natural Grooves and Drumwerks IV a few weeks ago and they’re just superb, they’re inspirational, perfectly designed and like everyone else says, just so usable, they really get the creative juices flowing. I love how natural they sound and how unprocessed they are. I’m full of praise, they’re just great and I’ve been recommending them to loads of people. Thanks again!” — Justin Hynes

“Hey bro, my name is Donnie Vie, and I sang and wrote 13 albums with a band called Enuff Z’nuff. I’ve gone solo now and am starting my 3rd solo CD. This next one will be on Universal. In the past year or so, I’ve ordered 7 of your CDs ( Vol. 1&2, Vol IV, Vol V, Natural Grooves, and Alt & Mod 1&2)- you can check your records and see this is true. I’ll admit, I use the hell out of them, cause I’ve checked out a lot of different loop CDs and sites, downloads, etc…. and you guys blow everybody else away. As a matter of fact, your loops are drumming on two songs on my last album and hopefully at least half of my new one.
I love these loops cause they are the fuckin’ best. (I wish the disks held up a little tuffer) but I don’t think anybody is tuffer than me on these things. You can hear the loops at work at DonnieVie.com – check it out, all the songs that have been recorded on my own are your loops. Though I’m not the best engineer yet, at least the drums kick ass, and no asshole drummer to deal with (not saying all drummers are assholes, just most of mine).

This is an excellent collection of grooves, fills even a bunch of single shots to help get things just right. It covers a bunch of styles from blues to funk to rock and pop. The one problem could be there is almost to much to choose from. it’s easy to mix and match as most of the loops fit together really well. All the drum sounds are really, really good and the timing is perfect. Once you put a drum track together it really does sound like you had a drummer in the studio with you. Highly recommended!
