Chris Polglase aka Jungle Drummer is a live drum & bass drummer from the UK. Within the genre he has worked with scratcher DJ Fu and drum & bass act London Elektricity. But he also performed with artists such as Grooverider, Timbaland, A Guy Called Gerald, and Coldcut to name only a few.
A man with a past, a very prolific one indeed, Chris teamed up with Loopmasters to release a drum sample pack that spans across genres from drum & bass to downtempo and many in between.
"Live Urban Drums" is a collection of grooves which cover many genres including hip hop, dubstep, beaks, downtempo, breakbeat and of course live drum & bass.
Jungle Drummer recorded the pack in several days using several kits and busted out all his favorite grooves which modern producers will find invaluable to add realism and dynamics to tracks which could benefit from a live feel.
You get 700 samples which comprise 567 loops between 90 – 180 bpm, and 132 single shot drum samples. Also included are 12 ready to play patches for Reason NNXt, Halion, EXS and SFZ compatible soft samplers.
Including sections of breaks which resemble some of the old funk loops, dubstep patterns, hip hop breaks and full on drum & bass - this is a complete collection of live breaks for modern urban producers.
