In this video tutorial, Joshua Casper shows you everything you need to know to get started with the newest version of the Loopcloud DRUM VST plugin by Loopcloud. DRUM is now available as a standard VST Plugin on exclusively Plugin Boutique without the need for a Loopcloud subscription. It also has a host of brand new and updated incredible features.
About DRUM | Unique Drums in Seconds
When it comes to creating drums, every producer is different. Whether you create kits from scratch or intricately edit loops, Loopcloud DRUM will enhance the way you work with beats. DRUM turns samples into expressive kits, bringing together pro-quality sounds and unique rhythm combinations to inspire unexplored grooves.
Building beats from scratch?
DRUM’s 16 powerful pads have everything you need to create unique loops and kits. You can use DRUM to sequence, trigger, or play in rhythms easily. Patterns can be programmed and edited quickly with nudge, timing, and velocity controls available at every step, mixing each sound on the fly with adjustable parameters on all 16 pads.
If your drum library is a little light, DRUM’s 1000 sounds and 30 kits will instantly inspire. And when you’re ready, Loopcloud’s extensive catalogue is ready to open up a world of sound. Every sample comes with the Loopmasters stamp of approval. If it’s not professional quality, it doesn’t make it into the Loopmasters library.
The intelligent Kit Generator inspires fresh ideas with every click. Set an instrument per pad, hit ‘Generate kit’, and 16 pads are instantly filled. Complete kits or individual sounds can be swapped instantly. To create your perfect kit, keep pressing ‘Generate kit’ as you search and preview samples in real-time, locking the pads you like. DRUM works with any sample, whether it’s loaded up from Loopmasters’ huge collection or your own personal library.
Creating and chopping up loops?
DRUM is your very own loop factory. Every time you shuffle kits, patterns, or samples, you’re creating new rhythms and loops to explore in your tracks. Simply export the audio or MIDI directly to your DAW and save it for future sessions. DRUM remembers every kit in its history, allowing you to rework and revisit rhythms that have the potential for future productions. DRUM will inspire the current tracks you’re working on, or you can use it to grow an ever-expanding loop library that will inspire you across genre, BPM, style, and beyond!
When your rhythm is ready to add to your DAW, drag-and-drop audio or MIDI files straight into your session, or route individual drum sounds to specific tracks with DRUM’s intuitive multi-outputs. Every element of your percussive patterns is yours to control.
Need to organise your samples?
Tagging is an essential part of managing your samples and loops, and when DRUM links with Loopcloud, all the hard work is done for you, automatically. Veteran producers will love the intuitive workflow for tagging, organising, and getting creative with your samples. Loopcloud uses its advanced AI-powered tagging technology to add instrument tags to all your content. No more manual sorting and organising - just smoother sample searches and a faster production workflow.
Add a tag to any folder with label and genre tags. Label tags mark your personal sound folders - for example, ‘Modular Synth Samples’ - so you can quickly locate specific samples to create custom-made kits. Genre tags keep your genre-specific samples in check. Want to make a kit just using House and Garage samples? Just filter the genre tag you need. DRUM will find your sounds whether they’re on your laptop, hard drive, or in the cloud.
If you want to strengthen your library, more sounds can be added directly from the Loopmasters library. With 20 years of music production knowledge and expert sample curation, millions of expertly designed sounds and kits are at your fingertips. Find every sample from your personal collection alongside your Loopmasters library: tagged, organised, and ready to go.

Amazing!! Anything comes instantly and sounds great✨ love it❤️
nice!!! they’re so many plug ins like this out now idk which one to choose
Good work Joshua thanks
Impressive!
Thank you for the Multi Output part. I was doing everything EXCEPT putting the monitor to IN.
Glad you got it figured out! - JC

Taking the time with Drum and all I can say is it's fantastic. Lots of potential. Love the store built in and you can just purchase the library right there with points! Fantastic.
Loopcloud, suggestion: the pattern editor would be nice if we could see all the drums much like in Groove Agent's pattern editor. Seeing only the one drum at a time makes it a bit clunky to write patterns. Also the pattern editor and the keyboard pattern player should be on the same screen. I get confused moving about. Just some thoughts. Still fantastic drum module.
I prefer it the way that it is. Less is more!
ready fot beatport fame
Amazing! I can see in PB each bundle cost $79. But, what is the price for DRUM + the 3 drum packs?
Bout to blow my phone speakers talking lol
How do you get Drum to search through a specific sample folder that you have uploaded to Loopcloud? Version 1.5 had an option to browse by My Samples. Version 2 thats gone
how I know which key I can use when locking tuner?
Is it possible to set the grid to 32nd notes or higher?
Interested but love to know what are the standard kits that come with the vst, it is nowhere listed.
I have just counted them... The Loopcloud DRUM installation currently comes with 44 different Drumkits across a huge range of genres - each Drumkit has 1 Preset pattern with multiple variations - up to 8 variations in some cases, labelled as patterns A through to H. It's a good start but you'll probably want to add more genre-specific Drumkits and Patterns.
Where can I change key of the overall Loopcloud Drum plugin?
Hey @JoshuaCasper... is there a way to import patterns? midi? a source for more patterns other than the packs? - Is there a setup for using a midi controller and playing in patterns?
i have this same question
What Ableton Live skin are you using?
It looks sweet!
second that, any answer?
Great video but instead of showing the key for tuned samples mine shows DIFU or FSOU or ISR
I have a loopcloud subscription and use Drum a lot. Is there an option to buy sample pack bundles without the licence for Drum?
Hello Andrew, at the moment the bundle's are only available via the Plugin Boutique purchase avenue, however, we are working on making them available to Loopcloud subscribers. - JC
How do you take the samples out and add them to a drum rack? Is that feature no longer possible?
You can drag and drop samples into DRUM and use the export function to export anything :) - JC
@Plugin Boutique
May I clarify? Do you need a monthly paid Loopcloud account for Loopcloud Drum or is this completely stand-alone for PB account holders? TIA!
If you buy this version from Plugin Boutique, it is just like any other plugin and you do not need a Loopcloud subscription. Hope that helps :) - JC
I have a Loopcloud subscription and have already purchased many kits for drums. If I discontinue my subscription will I still be able to use those kits in this paid version of Drum? Also would like to be sure if it's the same for Loopcloud Play.
Hello. Please, send your question to support@loopcloud.com and they'll let you know the specifics for you :) - JC
Just to clarify Re: the 2 Loopcloud apps you can buy (currently only available from Plugin Boutique) - Loopcloud DRUM and Loopcloud PLAY - neither of these require a subscription - you buy a license to use them forever and can just buy sample packs if and when you like. These apps will also add ALL your previous Loopmaster and Loopcloud purchases to your library (just sync the apps with your existing Loopmasters account), again without the need for a monthly subscription. Hope this helps!
I recommend you download the kits you purchased to your hard drive before you end your subscription just to be sure you can still access. Joshua shows how to do this in the video - highlight them all in the loop cloud app and select Download in Background.
@@Peter-gu9ph Thanks a lot. Very helpful.
Joshua is this like loopcloud do I have to be online to use it or is this like any other vst.
I think you just drop it onto a track & use it like any other VST. If you use the Drum plug-in as part of your Loopcloud subscription it has to go online to access your account & make your kit sounds available.
Thank you for clearing that up. I was interested then thought I hope this doesn't have to be online every time to work. Thanks
@@jameshutchins7042
From the Plugin Boutique Drum product page “The Loopcloud application is installed with Loopcloud DRUM. It is required to be running on your computer for Loopcloud DRUM to work.”
I take it then that you don’t have to be online because the Loopcloud app will automatically open when you put Drum on a track in your DAW.
You will need to be online the first time you use it. Loopcloud Drum downloads samples as you need them, so you would need to be online for that.. However, if you download your entire library from Loopcloud on your first use, then everything will be available offline. - JC
Question, you can generate a totally random pattern by pressing one button like Instacomposer?
You can load patterns from other presets to do something like it. - JC
Yes you can - just click the grey GENERATE button in the bottom right corner of the Sequencer panel (i.e. not the blue Generate button which randomises the samples assigned to the pads). It will create a new variation of whatever instrument's pattern is displayed in the sequencer (i.e. the instrument's pad currently selected).
@@Peter-gu9ph ahh cool. That's where I was going wrong... I was driven to the blue button :D
i seem not to get the vst to work in either bitwig 4.1, flstudio 20.9 or live 11. it keeps crashing. it seems not to be able to load the first kit and then freezes. other people similar problems? can only find a threat on this from 2 years ago. loopcloud states no issues with major DAW's... jaja
Hello. I'm sorry to hear you are having an issue. Please, contact support@pluginboutique.com and they will help get you sorted out :) - JC
Looks awesome, but can I add 3rd Party Sample Libraries? I have hundreds of them in folder structure on my HDD (as will many other producers). Is it possible to add these folders to Loopcloud Drum and have it automatically work out and tag the samples for use within the engine? I'm used to using Atlas 2 which can do exactly this. However, if Loopcloud Drum can do the same I would be interested in purchasing it as I like the look of the interface and workflow for quickly creating and generating new midi ideas.
I'm curious if Atlas tagged those samples, so then I assume those tags are kept in its own database, which then what would be nice is if the Atlas and Loopcloud database are compatible with each other, perhaps in a simple form like a .json or probly .db file
@@Nomo_Popo Sorry my use of the word “tags” was slightly misleading there. Atlas doesn’t tag the samples loaded into its database. At least not in the same way Loopcloud Drum appears to do so in this video. What Atlas does is scans any Sample Library folders you point it to, and then algorithmically works out what each one is (I.e. Kicks, Claps, Shakers, Hats, etc…). So all you have to worry about as the user, is which sample pad/box on the interface you tell it to load a random sample into, and it just works. (E.g. you hit the “load random” button on the kick pad button and Atlas loads a random Kick out of the 1000’s of Samples you’ve got sitting within the folders that you’ve specified it to look through). Hope this makes sense.
@@Nomo_Popo Oh, unless what you’re wondering is whether or not Atlas actually does tag those samples on the back end? Like in a metadata sense - so those tags could then potentially be loaded into Loopcloud Drum? If that’s what you’re meaning then I’m not sure, but it’s an interesting thought 🤔
Yes. You can import any of your samples into DRUM. They will be copied to Loopcloud and Looplcoud will tag them all automatically with its AI. You can then go into Loopcloud and make edits or add tags as well.
@@JoshuaCasper Awesome, thanks for answering that question for me Josh. When you say “they will be copied to Loopcloud”, does that mean I have to have a paid Loopcloud membership, or do you simply mean they will be copied to the Loopcloud application locally?
Hey
When I render to midi and import into my daw there’s no sound? Anyone have this issue? I’m in flstudio
Hello. MIDI needs instruments it doesn't produce sound on its own. You you will need to use some other drum rack/instrument. Hope that helps. - JC
When drum is loaded as a VST, it launches loop cloud, can this be turned off?
At the moment, no it can not as Drum uses Loopcloud to function. - JC
I have a Loopcloud subscription but I can't find the packs you used in the video anywhere in the Loopcloud or Loopcloud Drum store, am I missing something? I have the latest version installed
Thanks in advance
I couldnt either
The 3 Expansion Packs are currently only available at Plugin Boutique - these are House and Techno Rush, Hip Hop and Trap Flow & Bass Music Adrenaline.
Do you need a loopcloud subscription (monthly costs) for this?
No
No. This will have full functionality without a Loopcloud subscription when you purchase via Plugin Boutique as a VST Plugin. - JC
@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial What are the kits you get with the standard 55$ VST? can you list them or have a video walkthrough? Can you later on buy (in a store?) the Trap, Bass kits etc?
@@Kris_jellybeard I have just counted them... The Loopcloud DRUM installation currently comes with 44 different Drumkits across a huge range of genres - each Drumkit has 1 Preset pattern with multiple variations - up to 8 variations in some cases, labelled as patterns A through to H. It's a good start but you'll probably want to add more genre-specific Drumkits and Patterns.
@@Kris_jellybeard OK quick update - I just checked again and Loopcloud just added 6 more FREE kits to my library - so now there's 50 Drumkits that came with the Loopcloud DRUM VST (i.e. the non-subscription plugin bought from Plugin Boutique), each kit has at least 1 preset pattern. Here's hoping they keep adding free kits...
A very frustrating way to search for samples - with just an arrow randomly searching.
Now if only LC can make it stable. Very buggy in all kinds of ways. Sad because this vst has the potential to be a serious contender to other drum modules out there.
Hello
Hello!!
@@JoshuaCasper Hello!
Hi
HELLO!!!!
Cool!
Now even all those that can't compose and built a good track will sound like a good EDM musician...
I am not sure that's a good thing, but...
Warning. These plugins are abandonware they do not work on new macs. This is lame software that did not get updates
Not true. Im currently using it watching the tutorial.
cheat , noobs will abuse this hard
