So many music styles have their roots in New Orleans; Ragtime, Dixie, Jazz, Marching Music, Rhythm and Blues, and some Funk to mention a few. Many great New Orleans musicians started off in Marching bands performing music for funerals and they would march through streets in Second line parades in the late 19th century. Those rhythms still live on today and have influenced many musicians in different genres. The Meters, Dr John, Bo Diddley – the list goes on.
And so, we decided to upload a couple of free New Orleans drum loops for your enjoyment. The loops are in standard MIDI format and are arranged for Toontrack, Addictive Drums, Steven Slate 3.5, Sonic Reality I-Map and General MIDI.
