I'm ancient (73 ) and I'm doing mostly tracks for a jazz gig that I play on Saturday nights. I play piano. My problem is not being able to find drum loops that fit what I'm trying to do. I purchased some loops to try and they downloaded in the zip format. Free Drum Loops Download. Available in WAV format. New Sounds added Weekly. Come and Taste it at Orange Free Sounds!

I'm the owner of Prosonic Studios and the creator of Prosonic Patterns. Thousands of people from all over the world are using Prosonic Patterns and they're telling me they have: • Higher Inspiration • Improved Productivity • Increased Understanding • Expanded Expression • And a lifetime of unique accompanyment for improv and practice sessions. And hey, I get it. They've done that for me too!

We love Prosonic Patterns and I know you'll love them too. That's why I'm giving you this risk free guarantee: If you aren't 100% satisfied with your order contact me within 90 days and I'll give you a full refund. This isn't like one of those old 'drum pattern' books made of paper. It's a full-blown midi library that's over-flowing with thousands of professional Jazz & Big Band drum beats and rhythm patterns! You'd have to purchase thousands of drum books to even come close to the content in this library, and since they're all midi, you can hear the rhythm instantly with any MIDI instrument you have.

No paper book could ever do that! This collection is like having a WHOLE LIBRARY of drum books, and you can use the beats in your own music royalty-free! These have been inspired by greats like: Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, and Thelonious Monk and the have been inspired by greats like: Glenn Miller, Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie, and many others. Each beat is carefully crafted-to-groove, so there isn't a bunch of 'flash' in there (like so many other libraries where the drummer's just showing-off). The beats in this library are solid and professional, with just enough fill to make them interesting, so you can actually build songs that work. I've experienced instant-inspiration and song writing has never been easier.

Each rhythm is like a 'creative launch-pad' for your ideas and the 'next part' in the song just leaps out at you! I get so many ideas that the challenge now is getting them all recorded fast enough! If you perform an instrument these patterns are an invaluable tool for learning rhythm. I play a lot of different instruments and these have instantly made me a better player.

There are over 51,900 four-bar Jazz & Big Band rhythms in this library [and they all sound as good as the demos] so be ready to take your music to the next level! File Info & Folder Layout 1.

ROOT: The first folder is the ROOT folder. This folder contains all of the MIDI Phrases. It is named 'Prosonic Phrases 3.0' and is selected (highlighted blue). STYLE: The ROOT folder contains the STYLE folders. The Blues & Rock-n-Roll folder is selected. TIME SIGNATURE & FEEL: Each STYLE folder contains the TIME SIGNATURE & FEEL folders. In the Common Time Signatures library there are 6 time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8.

In the Complex Time Signatures library there are 7 time signatures: 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 5/8, 7/8, 10/8, and 11/8. There are 6 possible feelings: [Normal Straight], [Normal Medium-Swing], [Normal Hard-Swing], [Double-Time Medium-Swing], [Double-Time Hard-Swing]. THEME: Inside the TIME SIGNATURE & FEEL folders are the THEME folders. The MIDI Phrases are grouped into 'themes'.

Each THEME has a particular groove to it and there are lots of variations within each THEME. THEME CONTENTS: Inside the THEME folders are the SYNCOPATION folder and the midi files. The SYNCOPATION folder contains all the theme phrases in a heavily syncopated format. The syncopation folder is only in 4/4 and if you're looking for something a little different check here. [I personally find this folder to be the most interesting.

It's amazing how many lyrical sequences can come out of asymmetrical patterns.] 6. THE MIDI FILES: Inside each THEME folder are the actual midi files. The first number in the file name is the variation group. In this case there are 8 variations in variation group zero '0'. The second number is the number of notes in the file. So the selected file has 46 notes in it.

Next come the names of the instruments contained inside the pattern. So the selected pattern has KICKS and HI-HATS playing in it. The last number is just a unique index and has no significance. FILES CONTINUED: As you go down the list the patterns continue to 'build up'.

There are more instruments added (and therefore more notes) so the textures get thicker. I've scrolled down a little here, notice the file I have selected, it has 99 notes played by 8 instruments: Kick, Ride, Toms, Snare, Hand Claps, Congas, Side-Stick, and Bongos. SINGLE INSTRUMENTS: Inside the ROOT folder is the Singles folder. (It has a 'z_' in front to make it go to the bottom of the list.) The Singles older contains all the single instrument patterns.
