Drum Beats, Loops and Backing Tracks for Songwriting, Bass and Guitar practice or for Jamming along with at any level.
JB here and I'm a musician, composer and...drummer.
During my career as a recording and touring drummer I've played a vast array of genres providing original drum beats for bands including RnB, Soul, Heavy Rock, Reggae, Funk, Country Rock, Indie Rock through to charting Pop music.
I've loaded all my drum and percussion sounds to my Roland TD-50 kit so everything I record is played.
I like to create percussion loops then create and play drum beats over the top.
Some tracks are basic drum beats that are cool enough as loops, but most are in song arrangement format with intros, verse grooves, mid sections, solos, choruses and Outros. All with a variety of fills.
Enjoy!

Iâve seen a few comments about creativity in the comments, and I just wanted to sayâif youâre feeling stuck, youâre definitely not alone.
These drum tracks are really meant to be a foundation for your ideas, not the finished product. And sometimes creativity doesnât come from something being complexâit comes from how you choose to use it.
If youâre writing or practising with these, here are a few gentle ways to open things up:
đ” Start simple
You donât need a big idea straight away. Even a small riff, melody, or rhythm is enough to get things moving.
đ” Try a different approach
If the groove feels obvious, go the other wayâplay something more laid-back, more spacious, or even slightly âagainstâ it.
đ” Give yourself time
Not every session will feel creative, and thatâs completely normal. Sometimes ideas show up when you stop forcing them.
đ” Explore, donât judge
Let yourself try things that might not work. Thatâs often where the most interesting ideas come from.
đ” Make it yours
Thereâs no ârightâ way to use a groove. Whether youâre practising, writing, or just experimenting, your take on it is what makes it creative.
At the end of the day, creativity isnât about perfectionâitâs about showing up, trying things, and letting ideas grow over time.
If these grooves help you do that, even a little bit, then theyâre doing their job đ
Keep creating,

Iâve had over 100 requests for an edited version of this R&B beat.
So hereâs a new version of the most viewed and used R&B drum beat. This time the triangle part is replaced by a smooth shaker partâŠvery tasty.
Its predecessor has (as of today) 762K views.
I hope you dig the smooth soul shaker on this track.
