Pro Drums Funk by Image Sounds

The drummer you always wanted to jam with! This library focuses on classic funk of the 1960s and 1970s. Characterized by syncopated rhythms, tight grooves and an emphasis on the ‘one’ beat. Each drum and cymbal was isolated to achieve a typically clean and tight funk sound.

If you are looking for powerful multitrack funk drum loops, this collection of grooves and fill-ins is sure to inspire you. The punchy yet open-sounding drum samples are available in a variety of tempos, styles and time signatures. Recorded in high quality audio, these inspiring drum performances have a rich and fat sound that is second to none.

Whether as the engine of your track or a subtle addition to your mix, nothing can turn up your groove like fat funk drums! You can count on Pro Drums Funk to be the backbone of any of your productions.

The Structure
These loops have been carefully and professionally recorded by proven experts, using top quality studio equipment, with sound optimized and recorded at 24-bits/44.1 kHz. Each BPM / folder consists of several drum grooves and fills and contains a mixed stereo drum loop, premixed groups, and all individual tracks as a dry version, including kick in/out, snare bottom/top, hi-hats, toms, ride, crash, overheads, and room microphones. They are premixed and ready to use, with perfect EQ and light compression. Every loop contains tempo information.

With each drum performance you get a huge selection of different loops, all of which work well together or can be used individually. All loops of a drum performance can easily be combined. Select loops for a complete song or just use a sample for your song — all within seconds. These loops are easy and intuitive to work with, enabling a fast workflow, which, of course, is essential in music production.
