329 Free Drum Loops
Drummer and drum loop guru Ryan Gruss is starting off the holiday season early with a free package of 329 drum loops:
Since we’re approaching the holiday season, I figured I’d get in the “giving” frame of mind by rounding up every single loop I’ve ever posted on this site and zip them up into one file for an easy and free download. So here you go, everything from country to zeibekiko, 60 to 300 BPM, WAV to AIFF to REX2, it’s all inside this one zip file.
