Lack Of Afro: Soulful Breaks – Classic Drum Breaks with Vintage Vibes

Loopmasters is proud to present Lack Of Afro: Soulful Breaks, a stunning royalty-free collection of live drum breaks that exude the soulful, vintage character reminiscent of classic vinyl recordings. This exceptional pack is perfect for producers looking to inject authentic, timeless drum grooves into their projects, be it Broken Beat, Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Downtempo, Breaks, Disco, or Soul Funk.

Following the success of Analogue Soul by Lack of Afro, the demand for more of his iconic drum loops has been overwhelming. In response, Loopmasters invited Adam Gibbons back to the studio to create a collection of fiendishly funky drum breaks that will set a new standard in drum collections.

“I’ve aimed to make this pack as comprehensive as possible, using the exact same process I use to achieve the LOA drum sound. With 62 unique beats, all enhanced with percussion, spread across 13 tempos from 80 to 140 BPM, this pack gives producers a wide range of options. Everything was recorded to tape and transferred into Logic for editing, with variations designed for maximum flexibility—allowing producers to mix and match according to their taste.” – LOA

Each of the 62 drum grooves features 10 variations, including:

• Full (heavy kick, snare, drum kit, plus tambourine, shaker, cowbell, and conga)
• Full No Perc (no percussion)
• Heavy Kick (kick only)
• Heavy Snare (snare only)
• Just Percussion (percussion-only)
• Just Kit (drum kit only)
• Just Conga
• Just Cowbell

In total, the pack delivers 1.83 GB of 24-bit/44.1kHz audio, including 62 Full Mixes, No Perc Loops, Heavy Kick Loops, Heavy Snare Loops, Conga Loops, Cowbell Loops, Just Kit Loops, Percussion Loops, Shaker Loops, and Tambourine Loops.
