Computer Music Review: Total Tribal Beats Vol. 1
Here you'll find 124 two-bar drum/percussion loops, all at 125bpm. There are 40 patterns in total, with each loop coming in three variations. Stylistically, the set is very focused, sitting at the groovy/funky end of the house spectrum – with a tribal feel, of course. The sound set could be broader - the heard the same ones cropping up throughout. However, the excellent programming and solid production saves the day, and a full kick-based loop and two no-kick options make the samples useful for main loop and supporting roles. It's a very specific pack, but at this price, that's fine.
