“When we got a copy of Drums On Demand, I went, ‘This is amazing. This is incredible.’ The drum sounds are fantastic. The loops are great... I used that on every track on our album ... that was the inspiration."
-- Randy Bachman, on the new CD from Bachman and Turner (More...)
User Testimonials
I got your “Nothin’ But Brushes” Volume. The loops sound GREAT. they are extremely useful and are a perfect assortment of patterns—as usual. Thanks for turning out great sounding drum loops!

I dig the DOD stuff quite a bit. I've been using it for a while. I purchased the original volume 1 and volume 2. Good, consistent recordings of live drums are tough to find. Drums on Demand has a 'finished' sounding product that I think is perfectly fine for anything.
Edison Carter
I am a composer/musician from Brazil. I really love all the kits that I've purchased. For me DOD are the best drum loops because they are musically oriented. Also, many drum loops on the market are targeted to dance and techno people. DOD is very well suited for my needs and composition style.
Carlos Campos (Brazil)
I want to tell you how much I love DOD. It's better than a drummer to me because it'll do what I tell it. I don't always use DOD as the final mix, sometimes I have a real drummer do the final but I am able to get so much more work done because of these loops. They inspire me. I always have people ask "Who is the drummer?" I always say, "a buddy of mine."
Bryan Walker
I have been using DOD for many years now. The latest edition I added was the Manic Metal. You may be surprised to know I do not play metal. I tend to record Pop/Rock wit a few ballads for good measure. The metal pack is unreal when used with a hip-hop like beat underneath and a high pass filter to just hear the strike of the bass drum. Anyway, I think the metal is the most professional sounding set you have put out so far.

Getting Started with Loops or PC-based Recording
If I had no experience with PC-based recording or using drum loops, and wanted to check it out without risking any money, here is what I would do. On a PC you can download trial versions of Cakewalk or Acid. A popular starter program for the PC is Cakewalk Home Studio (pictured). If I had a Mac, I’d obviously look at Garageband, which comes pre-installed, to get my feet wet.
Another option would be to download the free open source recording software Audacity — available for both Mac and PC.
Then go to the DOD home page and sign up for our newsletter. In the welcome email you’ll get links to a lite, baby Song Sets in WAV, REX and Apple Loops formats. You would use the WAV format for Cakewalk and Acid, and Apple Loops for Garageband. In Cakewalk, GB or Audacity, start with your project set at the original tempo of the loops (111 BPM in this case) and move up and down from there (10-15% up and down is about as far as you can stretch using these software packages).
This should help you get a handle as to whether PC-based recording is for you. We have many DAW users who use these basic or free packages to build their drum tracks and them import the complete stereo WAV drum track into their DAW.

Pro Testimonials
DOD is well played, well recorded, thoughtfully organized and above all, very useful in mapping out tracks in a musical way. The loops and sounds maintain their punch and character even when you throw a bunch of production ideas at them. They don't 'disappear' like most drum/percussion libraries tend to.

The drum sounds are gorgeous and contemporary, the musicianship is top-notch, and the whole package is so easy to use that you can construct a realistic-sounding, song-sympathetic track within minutes. When I don't have the time or budget for a drummer, DOD is a life-saver.

Now when I begin writing, Drums On Demand is an indispensable tool in the process. Because of the abundance of grooves and fills, building a solid drum track is quick and intuitive, as well as being flexible during the writing process.

DOD files are arranged logically and have variation without a lot of editing. These tracks have high end that make the cymbals speak in a realistic manner, and the kick and snare are always solid. Drums on Demand is a must in my DAW arsenal. Easy - high quality - believable.

Drums On Demand has changed the way I write songs completely. Having a life-like, rhythmic background to form a melody around really speeds up the writing process. It's like starting from third base. I really like the way they are organized into Song Sets with verse/chorus/ending, etc. so they're easier to grab.
