I just wrapped up a new beat - "Snorkel Geyser." It's a groove that blends alternative rock with funk, landing at 110 BPM.
I wanted to create something that blends alt-rock experimenting with a funky bounce. The beat evolves through different hi-hat and snare patterns, keeping things interesting without losing the plot. It's pretty syncopated throughout, but you'll always know where you are in the measure.
One thing I tried differently here: instead of crashing on the one to mark sections, left it up to pattern changes and fills. It gives the whole thing a smoother flow, I think.
There's this two-hand 16th note pattern, and some snare work that kinda nods to 80s alternative tracks we all love. (well, some of us anyway😉)
Anyway, I had a blast putting this together. If you're looking for something to jam to or spark some ideas, give it a spin. Curious to hear what you might create with it!
Hope you're having a good time jamming with my beats. You're welcome to use them here for personal playing and practice. If you're recording or releasing something, you'll need a download, which is what https://jimdooley.net is for. It's also a great way to support my channel.
Downloads and licensing at jimdooley.net
I have a few free beats on the site so you can get a feel for things before committing to anything. For the full catalog there are two membership tiers. Here's what's available for most beats - check the beat's page to confirm what's there for a specific one before signing up:
Full-length beat - the complete original recording as a WAV file. A real performance with an arrangement, not a loop.
Drum loops - short excerpts from the full performance, usually one to four measures, cut to repeat seamlessly in a DAW. The building blocks for arranging your own song structure.
Multitrack stems - the raw individual tracks, one file per microphone. For anyone who wants to mix the kit from scratch. 24-bit WAV only.
16-bit WAV - CD quality. Standard for most recording and release work.
24-bit WAV - studio quality. Higher resolution, larger files.
MP3 - smaller file size. Same performance, easier to move around.
About my videos
There are two types on my channel: original beats, which are full recordings with arrangements, and 20-minute versions made from loops for longer practice sessions. The 20-minute beats aren't available as a single download, but grab the loops from the site and you can arrange them yourself - loop them as long as you want.
If you've been getting use out of these beats, joining the site is the best way to make sure there are always more on the way - and it's genuinely appreciated.
