If there is one thing we have always appreciated,
it is the kind words of our customers. We know
everyone has a lot to do - personal lives and
professional lives as well as our musical ones.
So, for anyone to take the time to let us know
how much our products have done for them, then
we feel we are doing a lot of things most companies,
big or small, just don't seem to do anymore. Great
prices, great grooves, great services - that's
why we outsell our competition.
On to the kind words of our customers...

Hey Christian,
I just got my Drum Werks VI and loaded it into Logic... I am so impressed with the quality and versatility of these loops... wow. Talk about bang for the buck! My teacher is going to be so happy that I finally have some proper drum tracks to use for our BLUES lessons! Just wanted to thank you for the excellent product.

I have Double Bass Mania I as well as a number of other metal loop libraries. Yours is
unquestionably the best in my opinion.

"All I can say is... phenomenal service. Wow." -- Michael Hacker

Hey Chris,
I'd like to say thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I researched you folks on the internet before purchasing and I found nothing but praise. And I can see why.
I'm impressed. And I've only touched the sample pack so far. I'm excited for the real deal.
Thanks again!
Joshua Davis
Man you kill me! Good product and good business practice..... are you sure you are located here in America? Well put it this way..... if I had Pure Country vol 1.APPLE... sadly there would be nothing left for me to buy. Then I would go into a slow decline, with bad loop withdrawls......neurotically checking the website 3 times a week for new drugs..... I mean drums. I am not addicted.
Yes I am.....
Dude thanks again. I'll be looking forward to your new stuff. Keep up the awesome work !
Long live the monkey
David Gill
Christian,
Thanks again for all your help. And I love this stuff from Beta Monkey. Working on a track now and looking forward to sending it to you when I am done. I will respond as soon as the download is done. Again, thank you for supplying the drums for my music. This stuff has truely blown me away.
Beta Monkey user for life,
- Joe Gontarek
"Thanks for making everything cooool! The stuff is GREAT! You have in me a faithful buyer... The Natural volume is Excellent! Plenty of usable tracks. -- James Amelia
You don't know how relieved I am to finally have something good! I've been frankensteining other loops to get an almost believable track.
Thanks again,
Lisa Simons

Hi Chris
Just received my Pure Country (III Nashville Brushes), and I am some kind of impressed with your product! Excellent stuff. I am fairly new to Mac/Apple and using Garageband (after being a Cakewalk/PC user for years, what was I thinking?). I am a songwriter but also play out with backing tracks once in awhile, and could never get the right brush sound for the country material. You've solved that problem for me. Being that I play all kinds of music, I'll be buying several more of your great library in different genres in the coming months. Keep up the great work.
Mike Philbin
Hail satan and.... whatever! Great fuckin' instant drum loops - just add riffs and mix ;)
Bless you Chris!
Can't wait to put 'em on the new shit...
THANX man!

"I got them all downloaded! Thanks a ton! You really went above and beyond! Thanks again!!" - Steve Harp
"Download worked great and loops are awesome. Thank you for the outstanding service!" - Justin Valente
Thank you so much for everything. The download was flawless. This is a really great feature and certainly played a big factor in me buying your product. It is definitely something that sets you aside from your competition... musicians can't make curb their creativeness for 5-10 days while waiting for it to arrive... I really appreciate your quick response to my request and I will certainly recommend you to fellow musicians.
Thanks again,

"Just finished with the download. Thanks a bunch. I'm really looking forward to working with these grooves. You guys rock!" - Gary C. Brown
Thanks for arranging this. The downloads have been successful.I had a quick skim through the loops last night as was really pleased with the range and quality. Hopefully this will kick start me into getting more of my songs properly demo-ed. I will definitely look to explore some of your other products.
Have a good break over the Christmas period.
Thanks again,
Gareth Mills
" I intend on getting the attention of artists and labels alike with this. I am VERY pleased with your loops, they will bring inspiration for me with alot of different ambiguous timing changes and patterns are possible with them, and that is my next move with my music. Anyway thanks for the awesome sounds" - Blaine Gilder
"
Christian you're the man!!! Thanks again so much you've made my day, I look forward to getting stuck into them with Reason tonight as soon as I finish work !
(still blown away that genuine metal loops of this quality even exist!) - Wayne Langlois

Hi Christian,
So I have to tell you that the loops are SMOKIN! Solid enough that I just ordered the punk disc. If you wouldn't mind making them available for download, you'd rock even more than you already do, which is a lot!
Cheers,
Rob Silva
How you guys doing? Great loops by the way! Used in conjunction with Drumagog, your guys' loops are the absolute bomb! They also make to make the creative process that much more creative. I've always said "The thing that inspires me most as a guitarist is a rock solid drummer." With Beta Monkey your samples have done just that! I've been so grateful for these loop CD's that I've placed a few banners supporting and promoting a fine product!
Thanks a million!
Bart Leggiero "L.G."
I am really happy to inform you that I received the Beta Monkey Drum Werks Volume XI: UpTempo Rock Grooves CD in the mail today, and the first impression of the loops are really astonishing. I was working with the loops from the other two Cd's I got from You late this night, and I must admit I was a bit impatient to get the opportunity to also use these faster rock loops, endings, fills and one shots. I was really in the mood for playing some serious heavy and fast rock.
Now the CD is here, and for the moment I'm trying to figure out which groove I shall use for my next song. There are so many to choose from. Pure luxury.
Thank You very much once again
Morten Hjollo

Chris,
I have purchased grooves from you in the past, and bought some last week,as well as I will be buying some in the close future.
You say in your reciept, thank you for the purchase, but I say to you thank you for the product! You and your team are a God send.
Once again, thank you for the creative inspirations!

Hello Chris,
I just wanted to drop you a quick mail to say how much I love the drum loops.
I'm a guitar instructor at www.Guitartricks.com and I've been using your drum loops in my lessons. Man! do they make an impression. Members are often asking me where I got such great tracks. Ya gotta love the monkey, he brings in some mean beats lol
They really bring my lessons to life and I'm getting a lot of positive comments about them.
Thanks for making such great loops year after year.

Hi Chris,
First let me say that the quality and methods used in recording your loops are great! I’ve bought several of your drum loops and have emailed you about needing Country Loops. I’m so happy you have come out with this CD and can’t wait to get it in my grubby little hands. I’m really happy with them!
Keep up the great work!
David J. Machac
Just wanted to thank you for the excellent product, good shipping speed, and superb customer service. These loops are exactly what I was looking for, and I am now able to continue recording.
Thanks Again,

You rock! Thanks so much! This is like my 13th title from you guys, I just can't get enough Beta Monkey! These are, without a doubt the best drum loops available anywhere!
That was way over the top, Bro! Thanks for those loops! This is why I love doing business with you....you have a great product and you take great care of your customers.
Have a great holiday weekend!
Regards,
Jim

Beta Monkey,
Wow.... Thats all I can say. You guys kick ass! I ordered on Friday, order was processed on Sat I think, and then I received it on Monday! Impressive none the less. The shirt was well worth the five bucks since I would have paid that much for shipping. The little effort such as handwriting on the receipt and all the feedback emails really impressed me. That's the shit people notice!
I ordered Double Bass Mania I, II and Drum Werks I. So far I'm floored, I have more content than I can shake a stick at. The content is organized very well also (I'm a coder, and you've been able to go above and beyond what a lot of the people who spend their life in front of a computer do!).
Thank you!
I'll def send in some of my shtuff when it gets there. I'll definitely be a returning customer. The tone on DBM II is perfect for what I was looking for.
Oh btw, I figured I'd mention where I saw you guys from just to spread word.

Chris,
I've been recording from the DB Mania (I and II) Loops CD's for a couple of months now and I've never enjoyed composing as much as I do now. People that hear my new recordings just don't see how I can put together such incredible sounding music without hiring a drummer to play on the tunes. The DB Mania CD's have not only inspired me to write and record again, but they have challenged me musically in many ways. That being said, my style of music/recording leans toward a progressive metal and off-time sort of feel. Are there any plans for a Double Bass Odd Time Loops CD? I've toyed with the idea of purchasing the Odd Time Meltdown loops from you guys, and I still may, but my music relies heavily on the Double Bass drums... Thanks for creating such awesome loops!!!!
Sincerely,
Joel T. Benton
"Awesome! That is fast service - I've heard you were the best, now I see you ARE the best !! Can't wait to replace the tired old samples in my collection with these. I will be buying Double Bass Mania 1 and 2 very very soon ! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!!! -Scott H

Thanxz for the great service. The drum loops are being used in a Boss BR16 digital recorder with a wav function. They work great and seemless. I am looking forward to buying more products from you guys!The 2-CD set Rock Hard Funk is sweet sounding - I am going to get those next. I am sort of going with a 311 type sound fused with heavier stuff, like fear factory. THE Double Bass Mania disc is great. SCREW DISCRETE DRUMS. YOURS are BETTER and SOUND BETTER.

"I just got DBM II and I love it. The loops are awesome. I spent about an hour or two browsing them and I must say they’re much better than the others I’ve heard." - Scott Crapo
First off, I want to thank you all at Beta Monkey Music. I've got Double Bass Mania, Odd Time Meltdown and Rock Hard Funk, and I am very pleased with what I've been able to pull off with these drum loops. You guys have made some killer loops! I have only one complaint. The majority of loops you guys have created and the majority of other loops I have feature a closed, very tight sounding Hi-HAT, there are a few but not nearly enough OPEN HI-HAT beats on these loops. Alice-n-Chains "Them Bones" type stuff is what trying to find.Some people got to have "more cow bell" I got to have more OPEN HI-HAT! Let me know whats up.
And thanks again for the awesome professional way you guys do business.

Awesome! That is fast service! I've heard you were the best, now I see you ARE the best!! Can't wait to replace the tired old samples in my collection with these. I will be buying Double Bass Mania 1 and 2 very very soon!

Thanks!

Just wanted to let you know that I received my Extreme Double Bass 2 CD and it arrived fast and in perfect condition. All of the tracks are excellent and I love it!!! I have a good friend in Florida who emailed me some metal riffs and I hooked them right up with some drums from your CD in Ableton Live and sent it back to him and he was amazed at how cool it sounded. I am very, very satisfied with my purchase. You have answered my need for a sample CD like this. True metal drums that are played in the way that I want them. I love it!
Now I have something to practice my bass guitar skills and work on my guitar chops and write songs. I am not writing this to blow smoke up your ass but dude this CD kicked my ass into gear. Thank you...and Thank you for creating this product. I am sure that I will be making another purchase in the future. Keep creating and kicking ass.

check you out. I would like to know if you are coming out
with anymore double bass, "metal" drums, you know

If you could let me know that would be great.
that way I won't buy any crap from somewhere else. Keep
up the great work and keep us metal heads in mind.

I'm a HUGE fan of your loop libraries. I hopped up online today (

offer's still up online? Are you still offering that deal? Please let
me know, as my credit card is in hand...
Thanks for your time and for a GREAT series of products...

Hi Chris.
I'm a home recording instrumentalist and have used BetaMonkey loops for a little less then a year now. For me, quality drums are a fundamental ingredient for a song being complete. I find BetaMonkey loops invaluable to reaching this goal.
I responded to a question on a recording forum about alternatives for creating rock drum parts when a real drumer isn't an option. I advocated your product and provided a link to one of my songs as a sample of what can be done using these loops. Another forum member, claiming to be an acquaintance of yours (unfortunately, I didn't get his name), suggested I send this song to you.
I've since learned you accept user submissions. If you feel this song is a good demonstration of the flexibility and potential offered by these loop, Let me know and I'll happily let it be used for that purpose.
“The Way Through” -
http://www.darenwoodall.com/songs/TheWayThrough.mp3
Some details:
I recorded this song in my home using Pro-Tools LE 7.1 and Acid 4 for arranging the drum part. The collection used for this tune came from the Drum Werks V - 90 BPM - Straight Rock and Pop Grooves with an assortment of single hits including cymbals, open hi-hats, kicks, etc.
Though I have a sizable collection of BetaMonkey loops (about 9+ CDs worth), but I need to diversify this collection a bit. Look to hear from once I’ve solidified in my head what I’m after.
Thanks for the great product,

Wow! Those are some really awesome metal jams! I’m very impressed. I’ve been on your site for last few hours just listening to samples, and I like everything!!. I’m also very impressed with the Punk and Odd Time Signatures CDs. I’ll probably get more that 3, like you suggested, because it would be cool to have access to many styles.
Thanks a lot for your help - you guys rule!

Hi Christian! FYI, I was just licensed again for MTV reality tv, several songs used your loops......cool huh? I attached one for you to check out with your drum work. I also wanted to throw you two songs I did a while back with your drums (I think I'm one of your earliest customers??). These tunes made the cut and were featured on MTV's Road Rules/Inferno 2 back in 2004/2005.

Chris,
I got turned onto your product from the Future Music 2006 Buyers Guide drum loop disc. My band, Soul Ephect, is in the process of buiding a recording/rehearsal studio, so unfortunately until then we have no place to rehears or record. So my bassplayer and I decided while the whole studio thing is going on that we'd lay down some demos on Pro Tools Le 7 (also in order to learn how to use the DAW and the MBox2), and your product came to mind quickly for me because I was very impressed with the loops on the Future Music disc.
My band's music has been played in Cleveland on Randy Allar's "The Fusion Show", and in Rochester New York on "The Academy Of Shred" radio show hosted by Steve Bauer, manager of former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland's band OHM: , with Robertino Pagliari (who has also played with Frank Gambale), and legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker's son, Kofi Baker. Both Randy and Steve have become good friends of mine.
So your product will definitely be a plus...a MUST actually, in producing our demo recordings, and perhaps might wind up being on our next disc as well. Also, I am planning on purchasing the "Off Time Meltdown" disc as soon as possible because I think it will be of great use in the music my band records.
When I get something down on the Pro Tools DAW, I will send it your way to check out. Thanks for producing these great products and for so little in return monitarily.

your drum loops on about 20 of the songs. They will
appear on the dating show called "Next." The contract
allows them to use the songs on all of their networks
which include VH-1, Comedy Central, and Nick at Night."

"That's great!!! Thanks a lot for that. The other cd's are awesome. The funny thing is, there's so many grooves to choose from, even from just the handful that I have, that I actually find myself spending a butt-load of time trying to decide which I like for a particular tune. Add the single hits and a ga-jillion ways to arrange them, and i'm usually m.i.a. for days. So, to answer your question, they've been invaluable. They all sound great and they really sound "alive" in the songs...if that makes any sense to you. I guess that's why I keep coming back for more.
Anyway, I'm actually working on a couple of tunes right now using the grooves I got from you. Once they're completed to my satisfaction, i'll shoot you a copy. Hopefully they do your product justice. thanks again bro...and keep up the great work!!!

I have not come across any other product that even compares with yours. I was glad to see the double bass mania samples on the last issue of Musictech DVD. Keep up the awesome work!!
I also would like to say that you guys are by far the greatest when it comes to rock, hard rock, and double bass drums. The quality of the CD's are awesome along with fairest pricing in the biz. When I first loaded up my double bass drum CD I was blown away at the quality work
and also at finding something out there that will fit my music styles. Hard and heavy. I have turned several of my guitar friends on to your product.
Keep up the great work. I will be making more purchases in the near future.

Received them on Monday. Been arranging and working with them since then. Very good material here to use. There are so many good loops, I am having trouble deciding which ones to use. Where I would use 2 to maybe 3 loops per song using Sony's drum loops, I am finding that I am using 8 to 10 loops, mostly because of all the good fills and the way the loops are organized in the disks. Thanks again for the prompt delivery and response.

"I am creating a 12 song CD using your loops only. Honestly, I would never use a real drummer again unless it was to tour. No attitude, no lack of communication, no PAY, just real deal drums. For me as an artist its no compromise, and that is the ultimate freedom."

I've got to say----- I love 'em. I appreciate all the work you do in putting these together. Excellent sound-----all kinds of options-----ALOT--packed on to these discs.

Thanks Again,

Christian, I did just as before -the order came very quickly. You guys are doing a great job, and the T shirt fits perfectly! DBM1 is really cool, I think I dig DBM2 a little more but they are both awsom. Are you planing on doing a third one anytime? I love the sound of the sets on DBM2, even if you did sort of a refill thing for DBM2 with tons of new fills etc. that'd be great. Anyways keep up the good work, and I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again.

"Hey Chris, Received my order last Wednesday (Odd-Time Meltdown) and it's awesome. My style spans a lot of areas, and these loops will definitely fuel some kick-butt fusion and progressive rock inspirations. Just to give you an idea of how crazy it can get, here's my first jam. There will definitely be a lot more where that came from, as the disk I received has a lot of possibilities. Thanks to Beta Monkey Music. I will be back.
Sincerely, Joe Vazquez - www.soundclick.com/vazquez
P.S. Thanks also for the referral to Natural Grooves. Snagged some of the Brooklyn mixes (I grew up in Brownsville), and got busy with that too! Sweet!!!
This is the sixth set of loops (and definitely not the last) I've purchased from BetaMonkey and they are by far the most usable loops I own. Each bpm has such a variety of grooves and fills that building drum tracks becomes inspiring instead tiring. Especially combined with the single hits available for each kit. I have more expensive sets that just don't have variety necessary to complete a suitable drum track.
Thanks again for the follow up on my order,
Mike Vaughn

- Great products are One Thing, but Great Service too? Or, Where is Everyone Hearing About Beta Monkey?! New Feedback for Fall 2006! |

Chris,
I gotta tell you, these loops totally kick ass! Instantly out of the box, I have used them on every single one of my new demos for my orchestral Christmas show that I am working on right now. Seriously, I am a total fan and you can count me as one of your fan/endorsers if you want. I can’t believe how useful they are as well as great sounding!
I do have a question, though. :-) I am working on a tune that need the DBM treatment all over it (Carol of the Bells, actually), but I don’t believe the libraries have any 3/4 loops do they? Any thoughts on this as I am in total need of the same feel but just in 3/4.
Thanks so much and let me know if there is any solution for the 3/4 thing.
Thanks!

Beta Monkey Note: If you haven't already, you OWE it to yourself to check out Neil Zaza. Unbelievable guitar player, musician extraordinaire, flat-out great human being. His music and skills are truly expressions on another level for us mere mortals. We are humbled he found a use for Beta Monkey in his latest works. Hit one of links and prepare yourself to be inspired.
"Thank you, I am very pleased with your business, I am glad I chose BetaMonkey over other the other cookie cutter drum loop libraries. I look forward to hearing back on DBM2, and DBM3, DBM4 yet again. Thank you.
-Shaun
"Chris, yes, the drum sounds are Beta Monkey samples from
the Jazz CD. You can get exactly what you need
sensitivity wise because of the multi-velocity hits,
unlike samples sold elsewhere which tend to sound like
the guy hit the drum with a baseball bat."
Thanks,
John Judd
"Thank you Chris for the Over the Top Service!!!
You have a BM advocate right here.
Hey...please send the Led Zep files...that rocks!!!"

"I tried the new "Double Bass" loops and they are awesome." -Aaron
"Hey guys I received the loops today. Thanks a million. I'll be ordering more soon! And the loop discs I've ordered from you earlier this year are awesome, excellent stuff, so I have no doubt this new DB Mania disc will kick some serious ass too. Awesome product and great service."
Andrew Kapalka
"Your loops are killer and the music [commercial spots] worked out fine." -Ben
"I just wanted to let you know that I received the CDs today! This proves that patience is sometimes the key to pleasure.Thank you for your help and the extra CDs. I'll be sure I'll continue to purchase and support Beta Monkey."
Sincerely,
Vincent Fillon (France)
"Your stuff is very fine. One of the things I like about it is the fact that it is natural-sounding. When I want reverb, compression, whatever, I like to choose what it is.
But don't be over-influenced by guys like me...stick to your core audience, and you'll be fine."
cheers/Ray
"Man oh man. I’m lovin’ these loops. I randomly loaded up some loops from the Classic Backbeats in Cubase SX, laid down some bass, then some guitar and midi keys and within a couple of hours this is what I did. I feel like I’ve got Buddy Rich backing me up. Thank you guys so much for these loops. I hope you enjoy the tune."
Thank you,
Michael R. Fitzgerald
"Awesome product, by the way! Beta Monkey drum loops are really fun and they all sound great! (no I'm not sucking up to gain favor. I really DO love these loops!)
Regards, Jim
"I'm loving the Double Bass Mania I & II and Drum Werks IV collection I just received. Thanks - BC
"Hey Guys just wanted to say thanks for sending me another set of Drumwerks 2 and including the Punk Drums in there as well ! Good to see people are still running honest businesses out there. These loops rock ! I'll have to send some of my songs along once they're done....Thanks again !
Kind Regards,
Grant Marshall
"Thanks dude! Pedal to the Metal with Beta Monkey!!"
Janne Gylling (Finland)
"Chris,
I just placed an order with you for 4 disks. This is my 2nd order with you (I already have Drumwerks 1-!V, Natural Grooves, Classic Backbeats 1-2, Country 1). Your stuff rules, and the sounds have been getting better and better."
Thanks,
Abraham Teitz
"Wow, I'm definitely impressed by the quick and personal handling. On a side remark, I feel a bit like a cheap bastard, fishing for a discount when you've already got such great and affordable products. Yet, the joke about musicians being poor, there's some truth in it, music rewards me a lot, apart from the financial aspect :-D
Thanks, it's been a pleasure to deal with you so far. I'll definitely submit an mp3 as soon as I get hold of your loops.
Best,
Leo (Denmark)
"Hey Chris,
I know you probably get swamped with millions of email's and don't remember me, but I'm the guy in the army from Afghanistan that ordered your Drum Werks 7 and Natural Grooves loops cd's.
I am back home, in my studio and WOW!!! Dude....I can't say how easy it is to compose to your drums. Drum machine? What's a drum machine....lolThanks, you guys have a new custumer. Looking forward to getting the Country CD."
Peace out!!
Darren
p.s. Keep the grooves comin!!!
"Just wanted to let ya know the discs arrived this a.m.! AMAZING turnaround!
Wonderful Loops!
GREAT Company to deal with!
I will be a repeat customer!!"
Thanks!

"Hey Chris,
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the extra effort in putting the REX files up. It's rare to have guys like you so willing to go the extra mile and especially to do so for such a quality product. Thanks again!"
-Patrick Cross
"The punk rock loops are great. How about a reggae/ska disc? I love my Sly Dunbar loops using Drumcore. There are too few of products of this genre out there so anything in this vein will be appreciated. Thanks for the great and affordable stuff."

- Double Bass Mania II: The Return of the Beast Brings Out the Beast in Everyone! |
Double Bass Mania II is fucking AWESOME. I own quite a few of your discs and this is by far the best.
(unless of course your trying to write country or something).
Not only is the playing kick ass but I think this has the best produced sound. Better balances between the drums and better sounding drums. These loops are actually inspiring to write to.
So whoever is playing the drums and doing the recordings I would suggest you keep using them. (at least for the heavy shit) Keep up the good work.
Now quit sitting there and get to work on DB 3, 4, 5 etc.
Thanks
Scott Seegert
"I thought Double Bass Mania was the single most awesome, skull crushing set of drum loops in existence. Then I heard Double Bass Mania II... Once again, Beta Monkey, you have outdone yourselves.
I can't wait to unleash some killer tracks with this as the foundation."
Ryan Weiss, CHEMIKILLER
"Here is a new tune I wrote with the Double Bass Mania CD I got from ya. This track is still in demo mode so I’m not sure if I will use it on my new record. But I thought you might like to here and use it on your site. I remembered to write down what loops are used in the song this time. The loops are constructed with Acid Pro 5. Acid - it makes song construction with your stuff dead easy! And, as always, thanks for being the best!"
Rosario Panzarella
"Hey this is Cory. I just got my Double Bass Mania CD. Holy shit man, that's all I can say. I don't know where to start. I've already laid down my intro and riff to my new project, and I just got it under an hour ago. The layout is awesome on the disk. there's so much to use and its easy to find. Thanks alot man, I feel like I robbed you. $30 for all this, it just don't seem right. Thanks man, brutal beats, at a beauty of a price
Cory
"Hey man the package arrived yesterday and it's awesome! The drums sound amazing. Well done on another awesome release!!"
Grant Marshall

"FUCK YEAH!!!! DBM II is bad ass!!! Thanks for another great
product!!! I can't wait for DBM III and DBM IV. Keep up the outstanding work!
Joe Hamrick
Thanks for the kind words to everyone - we knew Double Bass Mania II was good but it is still great to hear the passion and fire in these responses. There are more grooves to come and definitely more metal to come as well. - Chris (and, yes, we will get back to work now!)

- The Personal Touch! |
While a great deal of our interaction with customers is usually in the digital realm, nothing beats an old-fashioned letter or phone call to really make an impression. For this month's featured feedback, we thought we would let you see and hear what Beta Monkey customers experience in their own words.
Praise via Phone Message - Mark Johnston Audio Message
- A Letter from John Williams (stationed in Afghanistan)
- A letter from Diego Cordoba (from the perpetually beautiful Switzerland)
- A letter from Dave Woods (from right here in the good old U.S. of A!)
It's just great to see that, despite all the wonders of technology, nothing beats the truly personal touch. It's this kind of stuff that keeps us going and <sniff> even brings a tear to our eye!

"Without
a doubt the best drum loops available anywhere.
Beta Monkey’s drum loops have not
only grown along with my music, but have
also led me down different musical paths
I may have not taken on my own. I’ve
been with Beat Monkey since the very beginning
and they keep getting better and better.
Keep up the great work!"
Darren Hodroski
"Thanks
a ton! You
are indeed a cool guy and I've always
liked what
I have
ordered from you, so I will do more
in the future! Hope
you have a great week! - Marc
"Thanks
Christian. I used
the loops this morning ... producing a soundtrack
for an animated film "Crosswalk
Man" they sound fantastic, exactly
what I needed! I'll try and send you a
DVD when the film is wrapped up.
Best,
Gina Kamentsky (Pixeltoon.com)
"I
like your loops a lot. Ever
considered doing a "just brushes" set?
[maybe a mix of jazz, oldtime-ish
country/blues beats and latin]
I know Big Fish has a brushes disk but
I bet you could do it better and cheaper.
Best,
Jonathan Pytell
(Jon, we will have a brushes disc out
by October!)
"The
samples arrived on Saturday. So far, I'm
extremely satisfied with the product. I've
almost completed one drum track, and so
far, it sounds great!

for the info. I
am going to go ahead and grab Drumwerks

new stuff to come out.
Thanks for the info and the heads
up on the new volumes. I love BetaMonkey

just got the DVD today, June 26th.
It was dated at 22th from the states.
I can't believe it how fast (this time)
it arrived. And the sounds are awesome."
MANNYYYYY THANKSSSSS !!!!

"Hi
Chris.
Just a quick message to say thanks. I
have just received my loops and
sample disks today and I am more
than happy with the material on them.
I am currently writing and recording
an album for release on the internet,
I hope it sells, fingers crossed.
I just wanted to say keep up the
excellent work.
I will send you some of my work when
it is finished. it might take longer
than I anticipated as you have given
me too much choice."
Take care mate

- A Little Late Spring Feedback! |
"Chris,
you know most products for home studio
musicians
and digital computer recordings from the
low end stuff even to the high end stuff
pretty much suck. Their products
are made to part me from my money and give
me disappointing
sound reproductions. The exception to the(
part me from my money) rule: Beta Monkey.
100% worth every penny. In the beginning
I bought Smart Loops and anything I could
get my grubby hands on. __________ loops
suck! Plain and simple. I wish I could have
used
that money to buy your whole catalog of loops.
Live and learn. Anyway I'm not trying to
kiss ass or suck up, I'm just tired of home
studio products I purchase with my hard earned
cash only to be disappointed. When you guys
are huge and #1 in the business I hope you
don't forget about us poor slobs sitting
at home in our little studios playing and
writing out guts out."
Thanks,
Dave Murray
AKA Prisoner One
"Chris,
I think I have 8 of your loop CDs
and am looking forward
to ordering more. They
are just great and so easy to work
with.
That particular song I kind of
wrote a basic drum track first
and then came up with the music
so it's almost like collaborating
w/your drummer in that respect.
It makes me think of riffs and
rhythms I normally would not play
,so thank you. I am working on
a CD of original and cover songs
right now and the songs I use your
loops on I will definitely put
your website et al in the liner
notes."
Regards,
Scott Seabock
"Hi
Chris, I'm
a fan of your products.... All
the songs I have are "BETAMONKIED"!
A lot of people compliment the sound
of the drums in my songs. I'm a betamonkey
user FOR LIFE!!!!
Glad
you enjoy the song."
Later,
Phillip Fernandez
"I
purchased Drum Werks Vol 1 (among others)
a little over a year ago; a recommendation
from a close friend. He knew I was frustrated
because no drum machine on the market could
satisfy my desire to hear real drums on
my recordings. That was the problem- BetaMonkeyMusic.com
was the solution. After receiving one of
your email blasts, I decided to get busy
and send this song to you. It is the first
song recorded for a project I am overseeing
for the worship pastor of my church in
Arlington, Texas, Pantego Bible Church.
Along with producing the song, I personally
performed the guitar, and various electric
keyboard parts. As I look through your
list of submitted music, I do not see any
songs in the style category of Praise and
Worship / Christian Contemporary, so here
is one for you!"
Enjoy and thanks again,
Thank you,
Rob Hines
Look for Rob's music, along with a host
of others, in the User's Music Section.
He wrote some killer stuff - we were all
really atekn aback by his efforts. Just
top-notch all the way (not to just single
Rob out because we got all types of great
and varied stuff - his just was in a style
we hadn't heard Beta Monkey in before!)
"Thanks
for the updates! I see some ‘Odd
Time Meltdown’ and ‘Rock Hard
Funk’ in my future… Chris, I’ve
attached a couple of short demo clips here
using your loops. I didn’t do any fancy
editing, so they’re probably not worthy
of posting. These clips were done just to
demo a guitar FX pedal I was selling on a
classifieds website. Funny thing is that
everybody who heard the clips responded something
like this: “Yeah yeah, nice pedal.
Who’s on the drums?” J I sold
my pedal eventually….
As a business Chris, you’ve got the
best of everything in one package: great
product at reasonable prices, fantastic customer
service with courtesy, humour (pardon the
Canadian spelling), and a personal touch.
Nice knowing there’s a real person
on the other end of my emails!"
Thanks for keeping me in the loops!
Best regards,
Greg…
