Real Drums - Just Pure Punk Energy

This is not your average drum sample pack. Pro Drums – American Punk Rock throws you straight into the sweaty rehearsal room with a drummer raised on power chords, basement shows, and no-BS punk attitude. We are talking over 8,740 live-recorded drum loops: 16 GB of raw, punchy energy, played by a real human who knows their way around D-Beats, blast beats, halftime grooves, and everything in between.

From full-speed chaos to tight breakdowns, these drums do not mess around. Whether you are working on hardcore punk, emo revival, skate punk, or something loud and fast, this collection gives you full control of the mix, with all the grit and soul that only live drums can bring.

Structure:

Every loop is clearly labeled, tempo-synced from 125 to 240 BPM, and fully Royalty Free. This means you can use these sounds within the scope of the selected license without paying additional usage-based fees.

Each BPM folder comes with a full set of grooves and fills, plus full stereo mixes, premixed groups, and every dry multitrack stem you need: kick in/out, snare top/bottom, hats, toms, ride, crash, overheads, and room mics. Build your own custom kits, tweak your mix, or just drag and drop to get going fast.

Recording Specs:

Everything was recorded and engineered by seasoned professionals using top-shelf gear. You get 24-bit / 44.1 kHz audio that has been EQ’d and lightly compressed: polished enough to drop into a mix, but open enough to make your own.

Each performance includes plenty of loop variations that work well together. Pick one loop and go, or build out full song structures in minutes. However you work, this pack keeps up.

The Recording Studio:

All drum recordings were made at the legendary Horus Recording Studio in both Recording Room A and B.

Recording Room A features a traditional warm vintage sound. Its different surfaces range from brick to glass and wood, making it ideal for warm drums.

The power of drums is experienced in Recording Room B. Built especially for this purpose, its open and punchy sound gave heart and soul to countless rock records.

The main control room features a 48-channel ADT inline console, a Studer A 827 24-track tape deck, and an exquisite collection of classic outboard gear from companies such as Universal Audio, Crane Song, Avalon, Manley, Summit Audio, Lexicon, and Eventide.

Whether you are producing pure punk, blending genres, or scoring fast-paced scenes, these drums deliver the punch and authenticity your tracks demand.
