GRIFF LOOP 025: – "SALT"

GRIFF LOOP 025: – "SALTY"

FREE LOOP 024: Crunchy Sand

This one's dry. No reverb, no fluff. Just punch.
Playing the Parish kit on this one — the Cathedral snare has this incredible crunch to it. Gritty, textured, like hitting something that's been around long enough to have character.

Thick. Sandy. Heavy where it needs to be.

Free download includes the loop via Linktree. Link in bio.

GRIFF LOOP 024: – "CRUNCHY SAND"

BPM 85 FREE LOOP 023: Snap

This one’s tight.
Broom brushes on the kit, weird delay from Magic Dice by Baby Audio, and just letting it move.

Not heavy. Not overworked.
Textured, splashy, and a little unpredictable — but controlled.

Sometimes the smallest movements make the biggest spray.

GRIFF LOOP 023: – "SNAP"

BPM 110 GRIFF LOOP – 022: Whitewater

This one’s experimental.
Weird plugins, loose rules, and a lot of texture.

Not clean. Not polished.
Crunchy, messy, and a little unpredictable — but alive.

Sometimes the chaos is the character.

GRIFF LOOP 022: – Whitewater

BPM 110 GRIFF LOOP – 021: Shore Break
This one’s all about impact.
A loud, gated snare doing the heavy lifting — crunchy, simple, and straight to the point.

No overthinking on this loop. Just locking into a groove and letting the texture carry it. Feels like standing right where the wave hits the sand — raw, aggressive, and a little unpredictable.

Built for tracks that need energy without getting busy.

GRIFF LOOP 021: – Shore Break

GRIFF LOOP 021: – "ShoreBreak"

BPM 95 GRIFF LOOP – 020: Greenroom
This one is all about space. Wide, open, and room-forward.

The stereo rooms are carrying most of the groove here — lots of air, natural movement, and room to breathe. Nothing forced. Just letting the space do what it does best.

GRIFF Loop 020: – “Greenroom”

FREE Loop 019: “Offshore”

BPM 85 GRIFF LOOP – 019: Offshore
This one came together fast and instinctively — mostly overheads and kick doing the heavy lifting, letting the kit breathe and move like it wants to.

No overthinking. No stacking mics just to stack mics.
Just a solid groove, natural balance, and a touch of Galaxy Tape Echo to give it that push and pull — a little movement, a little haze.

It feels open, driving, and slightly unpredictable… like things tend to feel offshore.

Raw enough to shape, vibey enough to use as-is.

FREE Loop 018: “Real-World”

GRIFF LOOP – 018: Real-World
Didn’t have time for a full setup today… so I went with the most honest version of recording drums:
What do you have on you? An iPhone. Cool. Hit record.

No mics to place. No chain to tweak. No overthinking.
Just a groove captured exactly how it happened in the room.

And honestly?
I kinda love it. It feels human. Quick. Real-world.
The kind of loop you grab when you’re chasing a spark, not perfection.

GRIFF LOOP 018: - Real-World

GRIFF LOOP 018: – Real-World

FREE Loop 017: “One Mic”

BPM 166 GRIFF LOOP – 017: One Mic
Same groove as last week — but this time it’s literally recorded on an iPhone mic. No fancy chain, no outboard, no room mics… just the little microphone we all carry in our pockets.

Honestly? Kinda shocked how sick it sounds. Gritty, punchy, a little wild around the edges — in the best way.
Feels like something you’d track on the fly after a surf check at the pier.

GRIFF LOOP 017: – One Mic

BPM 166 GRIFF LOOP 016: – O-side Verb
A Juno-60 arpeggio cycling in a way that just felt… airy. Ended up pairing it with some wild drums, and yeah… that is an iPhone mic blended in.

GRIFF LOOP 016: – "O-side"

FREE Loop 015: “Rainfall”

BPM 65 GRIFF LOOP 015: – “Rainfall”
Caught a rainy surf session this morning — glassy water, quiet lineup, everything feeling kind of unreal. I recorded some of that rain and tucked it into this loop, plus a little melodic line from my Yamaha PS-55. Warm, textured, and a little nostalgic.

Still coastal at heart — like drops hitting the ocean before the wind wakes up.

GRIFF LOOP 015: – “Rainfall”

FREE Loop 014: “Backwash”

BPM 65 GRIFF LOOP – 014: “Backwash”
This one’s all room mic — I placed a mic down the hall in my kitchen and it picked up the wildest reflections. Gritty, messy, and soaked in a little saturation.

Still coastal at heart — like the sound bouncing off a jetty after a big set.

GRIFF LOOP 014:  – “Backwash”

FREE Loop 013: “Northside”

BPM 100 GRIFF LOOP – 013: “Northside”
A hypnotic, delay-driven groove built around movement and texture — inspired by the late-afternoon chaos under the north side of the pier.

GRIFF LOOP 013: – “Northside”

FREE Loop 012: “Tucker’s Loop”

BPM 105 GRIFF LOOP – 012: “Tucker’s Loop”
Tucker was my engineer and vibe checker for this one 🐾.
He signed off on some heavy grit and crunchy processing — this one hits hard but stays warm.

GRIFF LOOP 012: – “Tucker’s Loop”

FREE Loop 011: “Pacific Surfliner”

BPM 105 GRIFF LOOP – 011: “Pacific Surfliner”
A rolling, west coast groove inspired by the train that hugs the California coastline.

Warm, dry tones with a little room air — the kind of rhythm that feels like motion.

 GRIFF LOOP 011: – “Pacific Surfliner”

GRIFF LOOP – 010: “Fins Out”

BPM 105 - A gritty, tape-worn groove with bite — a little room glue, a little dirt, and that just-right swing.

GRIFF LOOP 010: – “Fins Out”

FREE Loop 008: “Driftwood”

GRIFF LOOP – 008: “Driftwood” A punchy, dry groove with just enough room to breathe — think gut-level impact with a natural, worn-in feel.

GRIFF LOOP – 008: “Driftwood”

GRIFF LOOP 008: – “Driftwood”

BPM 122 GRIFF LOOP – 006: “Boardwalk”
A straight-ahead, dry-pocket groove with subtle percussion for that sun-faded, coastal feel.

BPM 114 GRIFF LOOP – 005: “Hot Sand”
