Beta Monkey releases Rock Hard Funk (WAV)

Beta Monkey Music has announced the release of Rock Hard Funk, a two-CD collection of funk and funk-rock drum loops and samples with over a thousand acoustic grooves. It mixes the improvisational mentality of jazz, the groove inventiveness of funk and the powerful drum sounds of rock.

Features:

• Versatile Blend of Funk and Rock/Funk Styles. Think Soul Coughing, G. Love and Special Sauce, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction/Porno for Pyros and countless other "hard to categorize" bands. Rhythmic invention (with a rock soul) is the key here.
• Fully-Sampled Drum and Cymbal Samples. The sample kit section includes multi-velocity samples of all the drums and cymbals recorded. The entire kit with nearly 200 MB of samples is included. Build grooves from scratch or use them to augment any of the 1000+ loops.
• Rhythmic Realism. Rock Hard Funk shows you what a live drummer can do - rolls, stick drags, cymbal flourishes.
• Cohesive Grooves and Sounds. All loops are taken from the same recording session (all grooves, fills, and samples are sonically-matched) so every loop should work seamlessly with any other loop in the collection.

Rock Hard Funk Two-CD includes:

• 1006 (980 MB) original, license-free 16/44 "ACIDized" .wav format drum loops and samples.
• 237 (172 MB) multi-velocity drum and cymbal samples.
• Apple Loops and REX2 formats available November 15, 2005.

Rock Hard Funk is available exclusively from Beta Monkey Music with free same-day worldwide shipping for $39.99 for a limited time.
