Overcoming Beat-Block: A Guide for Music Producers With Free Drill Sample Packs

Every music producer who creates music has encountered the so-called beat block. Beat block is a state in which you cannot come up with a new melody or drum arrangement for dozens of minutes, or worse, for several hours. So, if you’re stuck in your home studio seeking inspiration, here’s a few tips to get over beat block and get you excited about beat making again.

So, if you’re stuck in your home studio seeking inspiration, here are a few tips to help you get over beat block and get excited about beat making again.

1. Just take a break from music. Try changing your surroundings, go for a walk, or simply engage in something else, for example, wash the dishes :)
2. Go to the gym. Hitting the gym is a great way to stop thinking about your unfinished project. Additionally, working out releases endorphins that can positively impact your creativity.
3. Clean up your studio. Turn on your favorite music and tidy up your studio. In a well-organized workspace, it will definitely be easier to unlock your creativity.
4. Return to the project tomorrow. A good night's sleep will help you organize your thoughts and rest. A fresh mind, strong coffee are a good start to creating a new project.

If, after a series of walks and spending a couple of hours at the gym, you still find yourself lacking inspiration for a new melody, we have a solution for you. We've prepared a list of free drill samples that could offer great inspiration. You don't have to use the melodies in their entirety in a "copy-paste" manner. You can modify or slice the loop in a way that something entirely new emerges. This technique is known as sampling. R-loops.com provides a list of free drill sample packs that can inspire you and help you create a new hit!


R-loops.com features 11 excellent free drill sample packs, which include both WAV and MIDI. The latter format is perfect for unleashing our creativity, as the melodies from MIDI files can be edited in any manner and assigned to any VST instrument. Each of the WAV files has been carefully prepared to make your work easier.
