With over 3,000 unique grooves and samples, Pro Drum Works Volume Two is the largest collection of shuffle-feel drum loops ever produced, and is designed to work seamlessly with Pro Drum Works Volume One straight-feel loops. Like the popular Volume One library, every drum groove is performed and recorded live on three separate drum kits--Acoustic, Thunder and Trap--for a total of over 9,000 loops and samples.

Volume Two loops are designed to work interchangeably with Volume One loops, allowing musicians and producers to mix and match straight-feel and shuffle-feel grooves to create millions of realistic, professional-quality drum tracks.

The Shuffle Feel
Shuffle-feel grooves are widely used in Rock, Country, Blues, Gospel, R&B, Jazz, and other music, providing that essential swing feel that defines so many well-known songs in these genres. The Shuffle rhythm is based on the cymbal pattern playing continuous dotted eighth and sixteenth notes, which gives the beat a sense of forward movement.
