Sloppy Drums FAQ
What type of product is Sloppy Drums?
It’s a sample pack. This is a digital folder containing sounds for you to use in your music making. It is not a physical product.
What do I use these samples for?
Loops are great to help start an idea for a track or to compliment something you’re already working on. You can use them as they come, or chop them up, mangle them or use specific pieces.
Stems are the individual parts of a loop, so you can mix them yourself or isolate/remove certain parts.
One shots are single notes or strikes - these are great from throwing into a sampler like Quick Sample in Logic or Simpler in Ableton and performing into your track with a keyboard.
Can I use these sounds in music I release commercially?
Yes! All of the samples included are 100% royalty free.
