Hit Songwriter for Kenny Rogers & Luther Vandross

“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. Finally, I like the versatility of being able to change the speed of the loops to fit any desired setting. Very user friendly!"

How They Work
Our patent-pending naming and organization system includes Song Sets organized by BPM and style. Each folder includes quickly identifiable Master Loops, variations and alternates, plus multiple matching fill, break and bridge loops, etc. Song Sets feature as many as 50 loops and segments, ranging from a half measure to five measures in length.

The loop types provide a great deal of variation and depth so you can build a pro-level, live-sounding drum track quickly and easily.

Don't take the names too literally. Just because a loop is named “Bridge” doesn’t mean you have to use it in a bridge. Names are there to create an organized palette for you to work from. You may find that the bridge loop is the verse loop for your project.

You can also change the basic structure and feels of country drum loops by adding or removing (or moving) a kick or a snare. For example, it is easy to add another kick or snare within a measure, by copying and pasting an 1/8 note segment from another spot in that loop, or a completely different loop. Or, you can totally delete a kick (or sometimes a snare) by pasting in a 1/8 note hi-hat from another spot in that loop or another loop in the Song Set. You can also replace a 1/8th note snare hit with a rim hit from another Song Set.
