Drum loops for bassists
— lock in with a real groove.
A metronome keeps time. A drummer gives you something to lock in with. Loop real drum grooves at any tempo, watch exactly where the kick lands, and practice sitting in the pocket — no drummer required.
Built for locking in
Loop any groove
Every beat loops seamlessly under an adjustable click. Pick a feel — rock, funk, shuffle, Latin, hip-hop — and stay with it as long as the line needs.
Speed up, slow down, at will
Set an exact BPM, nudge it mid-loop, or let progressive tempo ramp it for you — start where the bassline is comfortable and climb to gig speed.
See the kick pattern
The grid and notation views show every kick, snare, and hat as it plays. Lock your right hand to the kick drum by watching it, not guessing at it.
Play what drummers actually play
Browse grooves real drummers create and post in the DrumShed community — filter by genre and difficulty, and hear any of them instantly.
Describe a loop, get a loop
Tell the AI beat maker what you need — 'laid-back funk at 92 with ghost notes' — and it builds a playable groove you can loop, tweak, and keep.
Practice the feel, not just the notes
Grooves carry swing and pocket feel — laid-back or pushed, straight or shuffled — so your bassline learns to sit where the drummer sits.
Why bassists practice with drum loops
Bass and kick drum are one instrument in a tight band. Practicing against a loop with a visible kick pattern trains that connection every rep.
A click tells you where the beat is. A groove tells you how it feels — ghost notes, hat patterns, and syncopation you have to play against, not just with.
Grooves in 3/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8 and beyond — practice that prog or fusion bassline against a drummer who never loses count.
