259 | Zoro | Z HatStik | Just as its name implies, these grooves are built around the hi-hat and a cross stick snare hit. Use them on their own for a minimal, soulful groove, or layer on top of them, for a solid backbeat with lots of space for interesting fills and turnarounds. | Rock | 20 | 8 |
260 | Zoro | Z Rock A Billy | Rhythms in standard Rockabilly style--with deep Nashville influence, and a driving, punk Rock feel--these grooves are a little bit country, and quite a lot or Rock n' roll. | Rock | 151 | 0 |
261 | Zoro | Z Hops | Packing a snappy snare, booming kick, and funky hat rhythms, these mid-tempo grooves sound like they were lifted straight off an old Funk record, and chopped to just the right lengths for making beats reminiscent of the golden age of hip-hop. | Hip Hop | 66 | 14 |
262 | Zoro | Balladeer | Simple, downtempo drum rhythms perfect for crafting a soulful ballad, with plenty of complex fills for interesting turnarounds. Add reverb to create the perfect power ballad beat, or use these loops on the drier side for creating an intimate feel. | Ballad | 93 | 25 |
263 | Zoro | Big Rock | Elemental Rock beats varying in tempo from 90BPM to 120 BPM, with a distinct, eighth note feel, and complex fills that are ideal for building up tension. Especially ideal for tighter, smaller arrangements, with a distinct Rock edge. | Rock | 149 | 18 |
264 | Zoro | Crazy Eighths | Every loop in this GrooveSet features a rhythm based in a straight eighth note feel, with the hi-hat driving the beat, for a distinct, Funk feel. These loops are great for laying down a heavy backbeat or for modifying to create a bit of shuffle, and there's even some knocking cowbell on the quarter note, if you really feel like going deep. | Funk | 128 | 20 |
265 | Zoro | Grit Hop | Old school hip-hop style rhythms straight out of the 80's, with that classic swing and a triplet feel. These rhythms carry a big sound, with a dark snare tone, artfully-timed ghost notes, and booming kick sound. | Hip Hop | 148 | 20 |
266 | Zoro | Half Time Shuffle | Featuring sparse snare patterns over triplet hat rhythms, these loops in half-time have a 6/8 feel, while being soundly in 4/4, and are great for a wide wange of styles. Use the more sparse patterns for ballads, or use the tighter, more complex ones for building a hip-hop beat. | R & B | 266 | 20 |
267 | Zoro | Makin Love | Ballad-friendly grooves with a deep Funk feel, this GrooveSet features rhythms versatile enough to work well in an R&B tune, or an improvised jam. | R & B | 88 | 12 |
268 | Zoro | Meat n Taters | Hard-knocking elemental Funk rhythms, with a tight snare sound, and subtle ghost notes, make this GrooveSet very much the Meat n Taters of a Funky groove! | Funk | 140 | 18 |
269 | Zoro | Talkin Loud | Booming beats with a distinctly jazz-influenced shuffle, these rhythms nail the classic New York Hip-Hop sound from the early 90's, while still being versatile enough to sound equally at home in an R&B tune. | Funk | 69 | 16 |
270 | Zoro | Z Feel Da Funk | Swung Funk beats ripped straight out of the 70's, with snappy snare, plenty of crisp hi-hat, and tight overheads. | Hip Hop | 47 | 22 |
271 | Zoro | Z Get On Up | Classic 4/4 Hip-Hop beats with a dash of shuffle. These loops come with lots of big room sound, a cracking snare, and a kick that cuts right through the mix. | Funk | 42 | 16 |
272 | Zoro | Z Nawlins 2 | A rich tom sound with driving snare rolls make these grooves ideal for creating a classic big band sound, and just like their name implies, expect that characteristic Nawlins jazz feel. | Funk | 45 | 0 |
273 | Zoro | Z Trashy | Fast-paced thrash metal style rhythms with lots of interplay between the open hi-hat and the ride cymbal. These loops carry an aggressive feel, and are great for grunge throwbacks. | Funk | 48 | 9 |
274 | Zoro | ZBluz | Dominated by a slow shuffle paired with a straight snare beat on the two and four, these grooves are an excellent compliment to the twelve bar blues format, varying from slow and soft to a driving cut time feel. | Blues | 372 | 20 |
