CUSTOM RIDDIMS

Custom riddim Order Form

Built for Your Song

Commission an original riddim built for your project. Tell us what you want and we'll build it: Reggae with live drums (One Drop, Rockers or Steppers), or Dancehall with programmed drums.

Seven Instruments

Drums, bass, percussion, bubble, piano skank, guitar skank and keyboard overdubs, played live and delivered as 24-bit multitracks. Add pick guitar, horns, solos or riffs.

Exclusive or Shared

Exclusive ($700): the riddim is only yours. Shared ($500): riddimBank may also add the instrumental to its catalogue later. Your vocals and your song always stay yours.

Built Around Your Voice

Sing your song to a click and we build the riddim in your key, at your tempo. We talk through the drums first; about two weeks, with one round of changes.

Custom riddims

Order a custom riddim

An original Reggae or Dancehall riddim built for your song, delivered as 24-bit / 48 kHz multitracks. $700 Exclusive or $500 Shared; half before we start.

How it works

  1. Record yourself singing your song to a click, and tell us about it below with a few reference tracks. The more you send, the closer the first version gets.
  2. Within 2 business days we send an invoice. Half is due before we start.
  3. Drums first. We build the drum track and send it to you. Once you approve it, we add the other instruments.
  4. You hear the full riddim, about 2 weeks from payment. One round of changes is included.
  5. Pay the balance and we send the multitracks.

You and your song

Not sure what you want yet?

The quickest way to show us is a song with drums you like. Add it under References below as “Drum feel”, and we take it from there.

Still stuck? Schedule a free 15-minute call (fill in your name, email, artist and song above first). You can finish this form after we talk.

Sing it to a click *

This is the most useful thing you can send. Play a metronome out loud at the tempo you want (this free online metronome works, or any metronome app), then record yourself singing your song along with it. A phone voice memo is fine. From this we hear the key you sing in and the tempo you feel, and we build the riddim to fit you.

The riddim

Genre *
We build the drums first and send them to you. Once you approve them, we add the other instruments, all played live.
Original or remake? *

Instruments

All seven are included in the price, played live (the drums are programmed for Dancehall). Untick any you want left out; the price stays the same.

Extras (cost more: we quote each one)

References * (at least one; several is best)

This is how you show us what you want. Send a song for each: the overall feel, the drum feel and the chord progression.

Who can use the riddim?

Your music stays private

Your files upload straight to riddimBank's private storage, and only we can open them. When the job is finished we delete the online copies and keep an archive copy on two of our own drives, which are not connected to the internet (ask us any time and we will delete it too). Either way, we email you a deletion receipt.
