Pro Drums RnB
Smooth Live Drums with Soul and Attitude
Product Description:
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:
Each BPM / folder consists of several drum grooves and fills and contains a mixed stereo drum loop, premixed groups, and all individual tracks as a dry version, including kick in/out, snare bottom/top, hi-hats, toms, ride, crash, overheads, and room microphones.
Enjoy the flexibility of multitrack drum recording, allowing you to control the mix and dynamics of each element.
