The Rhythm Playbook is a one-of a kind drum library created with drummer David James and produced by Dotan “Tane” Bergman, diving deep into the textures of 50s–60s jazz. From swing and brushes to Latin and funk-jazz, these performances are full of feel, movement, and nuance, designed not for jazz purists, but for hip-hop producers looking to sample beyond the usual funk and soul lanes.

This pack delivers an extensive range of live recorded drum content: 150 jazz swing loops, 150 Latin loops, 130 funk-jazz drum loops, plus brushed patterns, hats, rides, fills, and rare breaks. You’ll also find 2 long-form swing drum improvisations that capture the organic flow of real players in motion.
