Drum Patterns

About

Free library of drum patterns / beat loops, to be shared with others. Get inspired, brainstorm your ideas or groove to the beat. Designed to be minimalistic and hyperfocused. Don't expect it to have all the bells and whistles, it's just a tool for rhythm distribution.

Started as an effort to bring back now defunct website 808.pixll.de. After successfully restoring around 400 drum patterns, I decided to make a website to archive and share them with others.
