Grammy-nominated producer Mario Luciano founded Polyphonic Music Library to give beatmakers drum breaks with the tone and feel of the records they dig for. Our Breaks collection features original analog drum breaks and one-shots inspired by 60sā80s Soul, Gospel, Jazz, Funk, Library Music, Film Scores, and rare grooves from around the globeāItaly, Brazil, Japan, Turkey, Peru, and beyond.
Every break is played live on vintage kits and captured with the gear of the eraā1960s Electrodyne consoles, tube compressors, ribbon mics, EMT 140 plate reverbs, and Scully and Ampex tape machines. Each pack delivers distinct swing, fills, and ghost notes, so no two breaks sound alike and none of them sound like a click track.
Every break and one-shot is 100% ROYALTY FREE with no strings attached, no matter if you're working with a major label or releasing independently.
