GCSE music drum loop plagiarism???

For my gcse composition I used some pre-made drum loops on LogicPro (as my drum composing skills are sub par at best); is this allowed? I edited them by changing some of the notes and merging multiple loops into a larger drum beat and layered them quite a lot but im wondering if I'll get disqualified? I dont mind losing a couple of marks for it, I still have a week to change them too if need be. Pls help!

I highly doubt you will get disqualified as you edited them and changed some notes, and merged into larger drum beat. Since it’s just a drum beat, it won’t be very recogniseable either. You can change it if u want but i don’t really see the need to :smile:

Wow, you're lucky that you can use logic. We have to start from scratch is sh*tty Sibelius lmao
You probs won't get disqualified!! It's the skills in there that they mark, not what is copied!!

That's a relief, thank you :smile:
We had the choice of using logic or sib but I physically can't compose with sheet music so I picked logic lmao, hope your composition goes well!

Thanks! I've already had my marks back for my coursework, I got 75% overall :/
Hope you get the marks you want, I don't think there's any need to worry about your composition :smile:

I'm sure it will be fine. The grade boundaries will be pretty low hopefully
