UK Dance Drums MiDi

Team ARCADiA | 11 September 2025 | 2.28 MB

FROM GARAGE TO JUNGLE.

Drum MIDI inspired by UK dance music. For decades, the UK has been at the very forefront of producing new and innovative acts, playing a defining role in shaping the sound of electronic dance music as we know it. In this MIDI pack, we throw ourselves headfirst into its vast magnetic forcefield of monotonously trance-like, syncopated and offbeat grooves. Expect a collection of raw beat material that touches on all the signifying traits of anything from drum & bass, dubstep, jungle, garage and grime. This MIDI pack was created primarily for use with our more electronic-centric EZX and SDX expansions and, as such, may render some off-kilter instrument choices and note stacking if played back with a regular set. However, as always with MIDI, you’re in the driver’s seat – slice, dice, mix, match, move and rearrange to come up with your very own renditions. Comprising 40 “songs” and more than 350 individually created parts in tempos ranging all the way from 90 up to 185 BPM, you’ll have no shortage of options. Prepare for an eclectic collection of grooves and breaks that covers anything from the slow, pulsating and bass drum-throbbing to the energetic, bouncy and all-in wild.
