Especially
for the producers of computer based DUB, the
Dubroom has released a package of Drum Loops
created with the TR 808 Sounds. The 808 is a
vintage Drum Computer and it's electronic
sounds are highly popular in circles of
producers of electronic music like Trance
and Techno. But also in Reggae and DUB,
especially in the more dancehall orientated
styles, the drums are used as well.
The package, simply called "Dubroom
808 Drum Loops part One", contains four
different directories of rhythms. Each
directory has an introduction roll and two
fills as well as an avarage of five
different variations of the drum beat
itself. Some loops have to be inserted on
the second measure, others in the first. The
introduction roll will show this.

The four rhythms are:
- 133 BPM Steppers - A powerfull rhythm,
militant and yet easy dancable. Great
for constructing with a melodic bassline
and some vocals.
- 140 BPM Two Drop - Perfect for some
rub a dub style, some cool skanking.
With a monotonous bassline, this track
is ideal for some crucial Dub mixing as
well.
- 147 BPM One Drop - Often, in Reggae
the One Drop is played with a rimshot on
the snare. The TR808 doesn't have a
rimshot, but a very nice handclap.
Together with the snaredrum, you'll get
a pretty interesting "electro
roots" sound ideal for creating
some ire riddim.
- 158 BPM Half Drop - The "half
drop" is like a "two
drop" with the bassdrum on the
first and third count. In this one the
bassdrum is on the first count only.
It's the most dancable rhythm of this
loop collection.
All the loops are stored in one ZIP File.
When you unpack the file, the loops will be
stored in four different directories. the
ZIP File is just over 16Mb, and the loops
are over 30 Mb.
