Cheap but good drum loops / drum VSTs

Chuffola

I like to do a bit of recording for a laugh but I'm running out of the small selection of drum loops I've acquired over the years (usually from cover mounted CDs on Computer Music many years ago).

I've looked at EZ Drummer and the like and they look great, but seem expensive given that this is only for fun.

Any recommendations of cheap (or better, free) loops / vsts that I could consider?

Try the Loop Loft .. loads of loops some made by famous drummers. Register and you'll get special offers. I got 80% of one loop bundle. There's some free stuff as well.

I don't know if they still do it, but there used to be a decent free version of the Addictive Drums VST

The Music Radar site has all the loops that were on the front of Computer Music or Future Music here: http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/free-music-samples-download-loops-hits-and-multis-627820

Lots and lots and lots ... maybe some you didn't get first time round?

Ditch the loops and program them yourself. I used ezDrummer with dfh for a long time but havent look back since purchasing BFD.

@Chaffola - Use "SLASHED" at the checkout to bring it down to $21.70 / £14.00!!!!!!

BFD Eco has a pretty good workflow  and was £30 when I got it a couple of years ago. Although I must confess I use it to trigger drum kits in Kontakt these days.

Cheers everyone - that's my Sunday sorted!

Thanks. Wisdoms all round.
