Sloppy Drums sample pack from Song Athletics

Published 31/3/24

Laid-back collection includes loops, hits and stems

Song Athletics have announced the arrival of another drum sample pack that joins their AmBient and Some Drums offerings. Titled Sloppy Drums and accompanied with a tagline of “drunk drummers in late summers”, the third addition to the company’s range takes a far more laid-back approach than your usual loop collection.

The product captures drummer Chris Boot (Daughter, Lone, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Mamas Gun) performing a selection of beats on a Rogers USA ’72 Fullerton kit, with a purposefully relaxed attitude towards timing promising to lend a “lazy complexity” to users’ music. There’s no slacking on the recording front, though, with everything carefully recorded using a selection of mics from Sennheiser, beyerdynamic and Oktava alongside preamps and outboard gear from the likes of Universal Audio and Neve.

The pack contains a total of 40 loops and 60 one-shot samples, along with a collection of 30 stems that allow more in-depth mixing and editing of the looped parts. All of the content is royalty-free, and so can be used in commercial music. Check out the demos below to hear it in action.
