Percussion is a section of instruments which on many sample collections get’s thrown in the mix. But Loopmasters have made a complete sample collection solely dedicated to ear candy. Greatly recorded percussion loops and hits which will enrich your compositions for sure. The loops form construction kits where you get all of the individual parts plus the total mix as Rx2/Wav loops. You’ll even find some of the total mix loops processed thru cool effects which make these loops very interesting. All sorts of percussion instruments were used to make these loops. You’ll find Tambourines, Conga’s, Cowbell’s, Shaker’s, Agogobells and many more. But you’ll also find plain drumsounds to complement the percussion. The cool thing is that you get all layers of the full mix loops seperately so you can mix and match them with the other construction kits on the CD. The sound quality is very good. Everything has been recorded with high quality equipment.

There’s an additional folder which contains tambourine and shaker loops which will find their entry into most of your compositions i’m sure. They sound very good and can be mixed into your exsisting arrangement with great ease. They have been made with various instruments including a basket shaker, cabasa, egg shaker, jingle stick and others. Great sounds to lay on your beats to give it just that little twist of realism.

One Shot Sounds

As if this wasn’t enough you’ll also find a folder full of various one shot samples made with a host of percussion instruments. Really too much to mention here but count on it that you’ll find all instruments used for the loops here. Great one shot samples which enable you to get upclose and personal with these instruments.

Conclusion

This CD is packed to the rim with great sounding percussion samples which are of a very high quality and are extremely usable. I recommend everyone who is into using percussion in their songs to grab a hold of this disc as it brings all these percussion instruments right under your fingertips. For £39.95 this disc shows enormous bang for buck values. Great stuff!

*If you want real, pure, original funk, you have to go to the source and when it comes to funk, the source is James Brown. – powerFX*

I couldn’t agree more and with this refill you get really, really close to the source. And then i mean really close. This sampleset is just one big bunch of funky dynamite. Screaming to be used in all sorts of productions. The drums are played in by Jabo Starks (John Jab ‘O Starks). And this guy played drums on more James Brown classics then anyone. If the words ‘Sex Machine’ and ‘Good Foot’ mean anything to you, you’ll just be in heaven with this collection of super samples!!!

The cd contains the following material:

-Bass
-Guitar
-Percussion

Refill with:

-Drum
-Bass
-Guitar
-Percussion
-Construction kits

The Rx2 files:

This Rx2 collection is really great! When i listened to the loops. I just had a smile on my face the whole time. The loops are so funky. Unbelievable. They rex files come in different variations. You get drumloops. All live played by Jabo Starks (John Jab ‘O Starks). Wich are really great. They all sound a bit dark. Just like a James brown record would sound. With all the little details. Just Maximum Funk if you ask me.

These loops are just awesome. They range from 80 to 160 bpm. I can’t stop playing them. They all got the ‘James Brown’ kinda funky groove in it. And they are usable as oxygen. Everyone of these loops is just good.

Top Material!!!

You will also find Bass Guitar loops wich are also very funky and fit right in with the drumloops. Some funky wah guitar loops are also present. And they are all really usable. How many times have you come across useless wahloops wich are totally out of rhytm. Yeah you know what i mean. Well. Look no further!!
These loops are perfectly in rhytm. And they sound great to!

You also get construction kits of Rx2 files. With these files alone you can build whole tracks. In these construction kits you will find loops like a drumloop, a bassloop and a guitar loop. And you will find the loop wich has all of the elements allready in it. Use this if you don’t want many Dr.Rex players in your arrangement.
But i don’t think that’s gonna be a problem after hearing this collection

You get the following building blocks to build up your own killer funk track:

And there’s really a huge bunch of ‘m in this refill. Cool thing is that also here you get the Rx2 files seperated from the refill to modify in Recycle.

The Drums and Drumkit:

With this set of excellent drum samples you can become Jabo Starks. Well, at least you can try
This set sounds so natural that if you strike a few drums. You will hear that the sound you’ll need has been provided.

You might say: Just one redrum kit. But you can browse thru the samples on the channel of the redrum. Makin it a Jabo Starks machine

Great Stuff!!

A really impressive collection of loops and sounds to create super funky tracks with. If you are looking for the real funk sound. Look nu further. This will be the best 49$ you’ve ever spend on a samplecd.
