About Complete Takes:
Tired of piecing together dozens of loops to make a song? Do you prefer the flexibility of real, multitrack drums when you mix? Complete Takes is the drum solution you've been waiting for.
From the four stick clicks counting off the track, to the final crash of the last measure, Complete Takes provides you with 3 full songs, including 10 individual tracks of pristine drums and percussion recorded live at The Loop Loft.
Each session clocks in at 3-4 minutes in length and is pre-arranged in a traditional song structure (intro, verse, chorus etc.). Just drag and drop into your favorite DAW and start working with a fully arranged performance of multitrack drums!
Song #1 - Bundled Up
Remember those "Hot Rods" (stick bundles) that drummers always used on MTV Unplugged? Well, we busted out our Hot Rods and laid down this big, jangly track, in the name of Americana Rock (think Wilco, The Jayhawks and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers).

Song #2 - Brushed Ballad
Who said brushes are just for jazz? On this session, we stir up the drums and put brushes in the folk/alt-pop arena, all in tribute to early James Taylor, Elliott Smith, Bon Iver and Tom Waits.

Song #3 - Three Four
The title might say "Three Four", but this session can also be considered 6/8 and 12/8. Again, we utilize brushes to allow the drums to blend in with other acoustic instruments, and throw in a bit of light percussion (cajon, bongos and tambourine) to propel things forward.
