Introducing "Library Breaks”—an original collection of royalty-free drum breaks from Polyphonic Music Library, created by Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum producer Mario Luciano.
“Brasil” is a set of 15 original analog drum breaks exploring everything from traditional to standard Brazilian rhythms such as Samba, Afro, and Bossa Nova. Drawing inspiration from Brazilian jazz, psych, and funk records, this collection captures the authentic warmth and feel of mid-’70s drum recordings. With over 130 kick, snare, hi-hat, percussion, and tom one-shots—processed through analog tube gear, ribbon mics, spring reverbs, and tape machines—you’ll get the raw grit and texture reminiscent of a rare mid-’70s Brazilian cut. Perfect for sound designers looking to break free from the standard 4/4 pattern, these breaks offer fresh cadences and rhythmic ideas.
