Hey Drummers,
I'm just one guy in a home studio...piecing together loops without a sampler or a sequencer-- using cut&paste on a digital TASCAM recorder...it's a lot easier than it sounds once you get the hang of it...BUT...I've been trying to find audio cd's of drum loops, like what Big Fish Audio sells...BUT...they cater to the hip hop programmed drum machines mostly...PLUS...they cost, at the very least, $50 (rarely) and usually $100 to $200 each. You might find 1 or 2 very useful loops on a $150 cd...
SO...I'm wondering if any of you drummers do stuff like that. Something like: you spend a couple hours recording various grooves at various tempos, introducing subtle and not so subtle changes in the patetrns so that they could be cut and pasted and arranged given the dynamics of VERSE-CHORUS-BRIDGE...etc...you peform them with a click in headphones at specific tempos (so tempos remain unwavering)...
THEN, you undercut what companies like Big Fish are doing by selling a 30 minute disc containing several grooves for, like, $30.
Anyone doing this? Anyone want to? I need basic live drum grooves at various tempos, specific kick-snare patterns aren't as important as simply having a live drummer.
Anyway, look forward to any responses...
