I'm working on a laidback intrumental tune in 3/4 time and, while i don't often use drum breaks anymore, this track is crying out for one.
Has anyone got any good resources for 3/4 time breaks? Or a specific break in mind? I'm looking for audio but MIDI would be useful too. Preferably in the 80 - 90 bpm range.
Thanks,
Al

would it not be easier to use the sounds from your favourite 4/4 break and just write a 3/4 beat with them.
i've got a lot of breakbeats/drum loops and when i had a look for you i couldn't find any in 3/4 time apart from the ones i'd written and recorded.
i could up you some of them of course but they were me, not a real drummer.
sorry for not being very helpful, someone else might know better.
cheers,
steve.

Yeah i've tried this but with limited success. The break always seems to lose its flow or something.
Maybe this is the answer and i need to be a bit more careful with my editing.
I would like to hear some of these breaks if you don't mind giving them to me. Anything around 80 bpm really.

Al

Any use?
This is more a polyrhythmic thing, starts off in a 3/4-ish groove, slides into a 4/4 groove and back, but it's easy enough to do a pure 3/4 time groove

no problem. i'm at work at the moment but i'll up a few later on (off hand i reckon i have about 5 in 3/4 time) most of my drums end up being about 80/90 bpm so although i can't remember tempos off hand, you'll be able to stretch them fine.
as you say, not a real drummer so they do loose a bit of flow but they might be useful to you.

3 loops in 3/4 time, as already stated they are me, rather than a drummer, so they don't have much feeling. all 80bpm.
swingish loop
medium heavy loop
heavy loop
probably not useful really.

Yes those are well done, also try to make 3/4 beats at > 150bpm if you're not too old for that 
3/4 and 5/4 work nicely, if you go into the x/8 variety, the slow tempo might work better.

Why not write your own?
