Indie Drum Loops & Sample Packs

Build honest, groove-first tracks with indie drum sample packs and loops recorded by real players in real rooms.

Build honest, groove-first tracks with indie drum sample packs and loops recorded by real players in real rooms. From brush ballads, lo-fi textures, and felt-beater kicks to tight, punchy indie-rock grooves, every take carries human push and pull. Tracked through boutique preamps and classic mics, the kits breathe with room tone, cymbal bloom, and stick detail that sit like a record.

Each session delivers BPM and section-labeled loops with fills, breaks, and alternate patterns, plus multitrack stems for kick, snare, toms, overheads, and rooms when you need mix control. Layer tambourine, claps, and percussion for lift, or keep it dry and intimate for singer-songwriter vibes. Royalty-free, mix-ready, and DAW compatible, these indie drum samples drop in fast and keep songs moving.

Mix and match any eligible packs:
