Need authentic sounding Reggae drum loops? Your search is over. This sample pack features the grooves you’ll need to produce classic reggae drum tracks that only a live drummer can provide. We used two snare drums simultaneously for many of these drum loops. This gives you that signature reggae reverb on the snare fill accents and a dry punchy snare for the main rhythms.
Authentic Reggae Drum Loops
To get that ‘reverbed’ snare tone we tuned the snare drum to a high note and then removed the snares on the underside of the drum altogether. This gives it that almost ‘timbale’ like sound that is so characteristic of classic reggae. We used a vintage Lexicon reverb on those snare fills and left the rest of the drum kit completely dry.
These live acoustic beats and fills were fed through all manner of vintage and modern analogue gear. These included Drawmer tube compressors and Focusrite EQ’s. We added some subtle tape saturation for a nice, evenly compressed tone. With side stick, rim shots and highly tuned snares, these classic reggae rhythms should add realism and vitality to your productions.
Here’s what you get with ‘Jammin Reggae Drum Loops V1’:

This sample pack features two drum sets that were recorded in different live rooms to give you a variation in acoustics and drum sound. Both were recorded using the same high quality microphones and outboard channel processors.
