Free Drum Loops Vst

The drum machine changed music. There’s no getting around it.

Every DAW software these days comes with some sort of sampler or drum machine built right in. They’ve become a pillar of modern music production.

But picking a sound can be tough when you have infinite possibilities at your fingertips.

Click Here to Download. Since producing my last sample pack “LoFi House” (which is mainly based on sounds from old drum machines and analog synths) was so much fun I couldn’t help but continue working on analog drum sounds. Now I’m giving away some free 909 samples & loops. Another formidable entrant on our list, Drum Boxx is a free drum VST synthesizer that can craft thousands of unique synthetic drum sounds. It sports 12 individual signal channels each with an individual drum synthesizer that can be further tweaked, equalized, distorted, pitched, and filtered independently.

That’s why these drum VST plugins are so great. They impose some limitations to help you corral the creative juices a bit.

So here’s the 10 best free drum VST plugins for making your drums pop.

1. T.REX 606

The name says it all. The T.REX 606 is a compact rompler modelled after the iconic Roland TR-606 drum machine.

The simple interface keeps things basic. Which is nice these days when so many VSTs are needlessly complicated.

It’s just volume, reverb and 7 classic sounds. Easy peasy.

2. Djinndrum

The Linn LM-1 is a classic drum machine. It’s been used by everyone from Peter Gabriel, to Prince, to Michael Jackson.

But let’s face it, these days they’ve gotten a bit pricey for what they are.

No problem, The Djinndrum has you set for all that classic sound that the LM-1 packs in.

3. Drum PRO

Drum Pro has 20 built in drum kits, 12 pads and global effects, what more do you need from a drum machine plugin?

The Drum Pro has you covered no matter what you’re making. Big EDM? Check. Techno? Check. Everything else you need for sweet drums? Check that too.

4. Line of Legends

This plugin may not look as technical as others. But don’t let the looks of Line of Legends fool you.

This plugin boasts 47 high quality samples, 8 individual output channels, and punch, release & attack knobs for some serious tweakage.

Heads up: you may have to set up the output channels in your DAW if it’s only showing one channel. So check your DAW manual to figure out how.

5. Sean Pandy Drums

Sean Pandy Drums is based on a sample pack made by heavy metal drummer Sean Pandy. So if you’re looking for a heavier drum sound on your mix, this VST will definitely give you it.

Free distorted guitar vst. The ‘Sub Blower’ is especially good and certainly lives up to its name…

6. KickMaker

2 of the most important elements in any track that thumps is the kick and bass. So they deserve some serious attention.

9. Dub Turbo DrumTROOP

The DrumTROOP drum machine is big both in its sound and what it offers. It’s a powerful tool for everything from EDM to house and back again.

Who doesn’t like free stuff? But, free drum loops from other companies means providing your email address. And, you know what that means.

After a barrage of daily emails about how you can “Save 90% — Today Only!” on their products, you begin to question your decision to get their “free” stuff.

Free Drum Sequencer Vst

There was a price after all – namely, your privacy (as well as your sanity). We can’t tell you the horror stories told by our customers who tried other companies’ free stuff, but, the word “regret” seemed to come up often.

However, Beta Monkey does it a little differently. We offer choice selections from some of our ‘best drum loops’ (to be honest, they’re all pretty darn good!), completely free for users to test and evaluate.

We also do drum loops a bit differently as well, but you can be the judge of that. And, best of all, you don’t have to pay anything to find out what sets us apart from the rest.

What’s included in this free drum loops download?

Free Virtual Drummer Vst

  • Double Bass Mania I Reloaded Metal Demo : This balls-out collection of metal drum loops includes 91 beats and fills in three loop formats: 16-bit .wav, 24-bit .wav, and APPLE LOOPS (AIFF). The tempo is 120 BPM and is definitely a powerful pack for anyone playing modern metal.
  • Double Bass Mania VII Demo : Next up is another brutal installment from our Double Bass Mania Series. This one is definitely a hard-hitting and savage collection of metal drums. Tracked and recorded in Oakland, CA, this one is for all you deathcore players but will inspire all sorts of modern metal drum tracks. It’s loud. It’s fast. It’s metal. What more do you want?
  • Drum Werks IX Rock Drum Loops Demo – Nearly 80 MB of no-nonsense, hard-hitting rock drums. These drums were tracked in a spacious drum room using a Yamaha Recording Custom drum kit. It’s quite possibly our favorite rock drum sound we’ve gotten over the years. The real secret of the sound, though, was the room. We just set that kit up, tuned it, mic’ed it up and the room took care of the rest. Little to no processing was even needed. Some obvious EQ and balancing of the channel tracks to get that perfect balance between the close mics and the room mics and we were good to go. This free folder of loops includes 16-bit, 24-bit ACIDized WAV, APPLE LOOPS/AIFF, and REX2 loops.
  • Drum Werks X Punk Demo – One of all-time best-sellers. Lots of folks dig that energy and simplicity of punk drumming to be sure. 82 loops in 16-bit .wav, 24-bit .wav, and APPLE LOOPS (AIFF) formats.
  • Drum Werks XII Blues Demo – These are the essential grooves for the blues, from 12/8 to shuffles. Although a limited number of trial drum loops are in this folder, we’re sure it will inspire new blues tracks for all songwriters. Just about 30 MB of audio in this bluesy folder.
  • Drum Werks XIV Brazilian Demo – Essential Brazilian rhythms to inspire you to a new level of groove!
  • Drum Werks XVIII Rock Demo – Lots of rockers out there, so we thought we’d include another free pack. These beats were recorded in L.A. and really capture that L.A. sound – thick, punchy, balanced. Like a lot of great recordings of drums, it really comes down to the basics: a well-tuned drum kit played by an experienced drummer recorded in the right space. That pretty much precludes any drum mix issues and makes it a breeze to finalize the drum sound. These loops are for all the rockers out there, whether you’ve been in the game for years or are just getting started.
  • Drum Werks XXII Ska Demo – Everyone loves ska. High-energy, fun, infectious grooves. Doesn’t matter if you like the originators or the Johnny-come-lately bands of the 90s!
  • Odd Time Meltdown II Demo – Some many other sample content producers just don’t have a clue about odd times. We had to do something about that. Here’s 20 MB of deliciously odd meter grooves.
  • Pure Country I Demo – These freebie country drum loops will inspire ballads as well as country rockers. Shuffles, swings, double-time beats, Pure Country I: Rocking Nashville™ is your ticket to great country and country-rock drum tracks. These free country drum loops are a great way to get to know what we have waiting for you in the Pure Country Sample Series.
  • Pure Country III Brushes Demo – You just can’t program brushes. It has to be the real thing or just don’t bother. Hear what a skilled country studio drummer can do with this all-brushes pack.
  • Rock Hard Funk I Demo – A beautiful mix of funk grooves with a heavy emphasis on experimentalism. These mini trial is literally a drop in the bucket compared to the massive collection of funk grooves found in the complete sample library.
  • Rock Hard Funk III Hybrid Funk Demo – Some really strange and wonderful beats on this one. We intended it for modern funk players but we’ve heard it used in all sorts of different contexts. And, it’s little wonder when you consider the rhythmic timelessness of the grooves of James Brown, P-Funk, and early hip-hop. These hybrid beats defy categorization!
  • Studio Percussion Toolbox Demo – The internet is flooded with cheesy, MIDI-programmed percussion loops. These, on the other hand, are the real deal. Are you ready to handle what live percussion loops sound like (not to mention what they’ll do for your music)?

So, there you have it. Over 500 free loops weighing in at over 600 MB of useable audio content in .WAV, APPLE LOOPS, and REX2 file formats.
