I have used drum loops since I began playing punk bass, and later guitar. My first song recording on a tape recorder in the mid 90s featured a drum loop with playing over it. I have gone on to use drum loops in all types of music recording projects from industrial and techno to hardcore punk and rock. I also play drums – though not as often as I would like, and I love playing with a good drummer. I can also appreciate a not-so-good drummer, and everyone has to start somewhere. I have seen some drummers come a long way in a short time, and I have known some very good ones.
When a studio recording project requires recording live drums, we will usually use 3 or 4 mics on the drum kit, then recording them digitally to a Roland VS 1880 (18 track digital recorder).
If a studio recording project (or live performance band) requires drum loops, there are many possibilities for creating, acquiring, and/or utilizing such beats. If you have such a requirement, we can discuss your situation and determine the best solution for you.
