Solid Rock (Vol. 10)

Turbocharge your tracks with our latest release -- Solid Rock! DOD's 10th volume, this essential addition to your library offers 23 deep Song Sets® of no-nonsense, no-excuses, rock drumming — 1200 loops, segments and single hits in all. Somewhere south of heavy rock, but somewhere north of pop, Solid Rock is the most hard-driving volume we've since 2004's best-seller "Upbeat and Aggressive" (Vol. 3).

From smouldering slow grooves to full-throttle up-tempos, Solid Rock provides a colorful palette of contemporary and classic grooves with matching loops that are infinitely adaptable to your song or project. Simply find the master loop that fits your song and then choose from as many as 63 other loops in each Song Set® to complete your project with uparallelled realism. (The possibilities are endless because each Song Set includes an average of 44 verse, fill, intro, chorus, verse, bridge, pre-chorus, alt, ending and other loops). This powerful collection is ideal for rock, alternative, rowdy pop and even rougher country. A consistent sound across the entire volume makes mixing and matching between Song Sets® easier than ever. Plus, there any longer loops for increased realism. Scroll down for complete previews. Click to order.
