The four rhythms are:

• 133 BPM Steppers - A powerfull rhythm, militant and yet easy dancable. Great for constructing with a melodic bassline and some vocals.
• 140 BPM Two Drop - Perfect for some rub a dub style, some cool skanking. With a monotonous bassline, this track is ideal for some crucial Dub mixing as well.
• 147 BPM One Drop - Often, in Reggae the One Drop is played with a rimshot on the snare. The TR808 doesn't have a rimshot, but a very nice handclap. Together with the snaredrum, you'll get a pretty interesting "electro roots" sound ideal for creating some ire riddim.
• 158 BPM Half Drop - The "half drop" is like a "two drop" with the bassdrum on the first and third count. In this one the bassdrum is on the first count only. It's the most dancable rhythm of this loop collection.

All the loops are stored in one ZIP File. When you unpack the file, the loops will be stored in four different directories. the ZIP File is just over 16Mb, and the loops are over 30 Mb.
