Rock Beats.
Rock beats are band-style instrumentals with live-feel drums, electric guitar riffs, bass and room-mic ambience instead of programmed 808s, mostly sitting between 100 and 140 BPM. BeatStore's rock catalogue covers alt-rock, indie, punk-leaning and rap-rock hybrids, and works for vocal tracks, sync placements and montage-style video edits.

A Band in a Room
Rock beats are arranged like a band playing together: live-feel drums with room mics, electric guitar riffs, bass following the guitar's rhythm, and dynamics that come from performance rather than automation. Most sit between 100 and 140 BPM.
- Live or convincingly sampled drums with natural room ambience.
- Electric guitar carrying the riff, doubled for width.
- Bass locked to the guitar rhythm rather than to the kick.
- Dynamic shifts driven by playing intensity, not volume automation.
Rock for Vocals, Sync and Rap
Alt-rock and indie beats leave room for sung melodies; punk-leaning arrangements move fast and reward short, direct hooks; rap-rock hybrids pair the guitars with programmed drums so a rapper can sit on top. The live feel makes rock a strong choice for montage and sync work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What BPM is rock music?
A: Rock generally runs between 100 and 140 BPM. Mid-tempo alt-rock centres on 120 BPM, punk pushes past 160 BPM, and rock ballads drop to 70 to 90 BPM.
Q: Can I rap over a rock beat?
A: Yes. Rap-rock has a long history, and beats that pair guitar riffs with programmed drums work particularly well because the drums stay on a grid you can lock a flow to.
