DRUMS ON DEMAND
Whether you're looking for a country rock groove or 150 beats per minute of driving metal intensity, you'll find lots to choose from in Drums on Demand InstantDrummer sessions. You'll get a live-sounding, high-quality drum performance for your song or project.
"When we were doing the jazz recordings, I brought in a 60s Gretsch drum kit, which is what they used to play that stuff on. Nothing sounds like it, and it worked great ... After recording, Randle spends about three days mixing in his studio, followed by six weeks of editing and fine tuning by Sorensen. Then, Randle and Murphy map out the sound of each Drummer ... making it all just work when you turn the knob ... I think [RiffWorks] is great for people who just want to play guitar and not delve into how it's all done." Todd Sorenson, Session Drummer, Composer and Producer, Drums on Demand

"I wanted to give RiffWorks users a wide collection of InstantDrummer sessions to pick from, not just my idea of the perfect parts. So I've recruited musicians and producers who make music that I really enjoy to create sessions of their own. Every session we make has a "Produced by" tagline at the bottom, so that if you like sessions from a particular producer, you can search for more." Hayden Bursk, Founder, Drummerheads

RiffWorks is brilliant and we're thrilled to be able to offer our drums and grooves in this platform so that guitar players can jam with such a diverse range of sounds we've captured all over the world.
