Looking for a straight up country stomp beat and I am not even sure if I described that correctly. basically I heard a song that had a simple but powerful strong drum hit on every beat in 4/4 and the song started out with just the drumbeat and then added a rolling banjo and it was just delightful!
I spent about an hour today sampling RealDrums and found some great ones but could not find anything like this. Any ideas?

Verbal descriptions of this kind of thing don't work. If you could describe it in complete and correct musical terminology, you'd already know what to look for.
Why not hit youtube, find an example and post the URL here?

I assume you are talking about the style of artists like Waylon Jennings and some others.
Songs like Good Hearted Woman and I don't think Hank done it this way....
Yeah, I've looked for that too and could not find anything close.
You could always make your own real tracks.... I have considered doing that.
4 on the floor kick and quarters on the bass.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

John3, This is fairly simple to set up yourself. All you need is a Kick sample. Simply paste that in your DAW at each beat. You can randomly shift the samples here and there very slightly to "humanize" it (you can do the same with a volume envelope - every so often, raised or lower the volume slightly so they aren't so constant)... OR... I have created a loop file from the Kick in the NashvilleOutlaw set that hits on each beat and can be used in your BIAB Loop folder. There is a zip file (Loop120bpm Kick-16beat.zip) at the very bottom of this page: http://floydjane.com/Songs/ChoirClapsLoop.htm Download the zip file (Loop120bpm Kick-16beat.zip), unzip it to the Loop folder (it is a single wav file - 120bpm - 16 beats) - instructions similar to the Claps - check Stretch box, set the beat (16) and the bpm (120) when you load it - and it should work for the tempo of your song (I tested to about 85) Let me know if you need further instructions... floyd

4 on the floor kick and quarters on the bass. Thanks Herb! That is exactly what I am looking for! Can't believe I didn't think of Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way as an example...it may be my all-time favorite Waylon song! I'll keep looking and let you know if I make one or find one. Thanks again and "Take it home"!

Thanks so much for the instructions and the loop file!! I will definitely check that out later today. I really appreciate your help!

As I was searching through RealDrums I also found this one, PopAmericanEV^, which works pretty nicely in my song!
