@IvanDuke, further to my last comment, thanks again. Looking for this beat was like auditioning a drummer - 99% of whom *cant* or wont play a straight beat. Stewart Copeland tells a good story of a drum clinic where he played a straight 4/4 beat with no fills or flams for 3 and a half minutes. Some people started heckling after a minute and drifted away. At the end of the 3.5 minutes he said to those remaining "Thats what a band wants and what most of you cant do!"
Thank You for the comments. The track was my friend Jeff Blackwell a great drummer who has passed. I posted these to because I did not see any simple grooves here and I thought it was a good place for my friends music to live on.
@IvanDuke, thank-you thank-you for these two loops. Its amaaaaaazingly difficult to find a basic loop to fit a 4/4 Indie / Rock track! Most loops are marred by crappy processed sounding drums, weird synchopations and crashing cymbals. You have succeeded where 99% of all other loops titled 'basic 4/4 beat' fail!!
