Smooth Live Drums with Soul and Attitude

Looking for live drums that groove hard but keep it classy? Pro Drums – RnB brings you buttery-smooth feel, rich dynamics, and just the right amount of attitude. These are acoustic drum performances with real human touch — laid-back, soulful, and full of vibe. This massive pack delivers over 10,000 live acoustic drum loops (yep, more than 21 GB of smooth, soulful rhythm) — all played by a seasoned drummer with deep roots in R&B, soul, and slow jam vibes.

Whether you’re producing silky ballads, modern R&B bangers, or vibey neo-soul tracks, these drums bring that live energy that samples just can’t fake. We’re talking soft ghost notes, laid-back swing, tasteful hi-hat work, and dynamic fills that feel like a real performance — because they are.

Structure:

Everything is tempo-synced and clearly labeled, ranging from a chilled 50 BPM to a grooving 130 BPM. Whether you’re building from scratch or adding flavor to a beat, this pack gives you full multitrack control — plus stereo mixes and pre-grouped stems for fast results.

Each tempo folder includes multiple grooves and fills, with everything you need to build full tracks: kick in/out, snare top/bottom, hats, toms, ride,  room mics and sfx mics. So you can shape your own mix, keep it clean, or get that warm room sound — however you like to work.

Recording Specs:

All loops were recorded by pros in a high-end studio using premium gear, and captured in 24-bit/44.1 kHz quality. The sound is clean, balanced, and production-ready — with just the right touch of EQ and compression to fit right into your session.

Each performance includes a full set of loop variations that lock in together seamlessly. Build your groove section by section, or just drop in a loop and let it ride — it’s all about keeping the vibe flowing.

Pro Drums – RnB is 100% royalty-free, so you can use these loops in any project — commercial or personal — with total freedom. No clearance, no worries. Just authentic, heartfelt drum performances that give your tracks depth, emotion, and groove.
