Authentic vintage sounding drum grooves, loops and hits
Retro Funk is an incredible example of vintage mics, warm analog tape compression and antique drums, all contributing to the funkiness of this collection. There have been many drum loop libraries produced in the past, but never before with the quantity, quality, flexibility and variety of Retro Funk. The authenticity in sound, feel and style is unprecedented!

Months of live drum recording
Normally, a drum loop library features the same drummer playing one kit, in one studio, all recorded in one day - resulting in the same basic sound throughout the collection. It may be good, but the lack of variety gets old quickly. In one of the biggest departures from other drum loop discs, Retro Funk was created from months of recording sessions with multiple world-class drummers - each recorded by different engineers in numerous legendary Hollywood studios like Capital Records, The Enterprise and O'Henry's. Retro Funk's focus is on live drumming with serious feel, vintage drums and a huge variety of original grooves and fills from four incredible drummers!

The sounds of four monster drummers
Retro Funk is the result of the awesome performances by a corps of heavyweight drummers: Gregg Bissonette (Santana, Joe Satriani, Don Henley); Bob Wilson (Liquid Grooves, George Benson, The Crusaders); John Ferraro (Larry Carlton, David Benoit, Albert Lee, Aaron Neville); and Eric Boseman (Liquid Grooves, James Newton-Howard). Producers Eric Persing and Bob Wilson went to great lengths to insure that every groove on Retro Funk was performed with maximum inspiration and is truly "the real deal."

Unique Groove control for just the right feel
And with Groove Control, Retro Funk's grooves are at your command, effortlessly blending their timing and human feel to match your music. Turn a GoGo groove into Deep House, a JB Boogaloo into Drum & Bass, a Fatback P-Funk groove into Alternative Reggae, or an R&B stomp into a Pop Ballad. With Retro Funk it's scary how quickly you can sound like a remix genius!
