Black Metal MiDi PACK

P2P | Oct 18 2017 | 6.85 MB

Efraim Juntunen of Swedish black metal pioneers Naglfar takes you on board for a journey down the long and winding rapids of black metal drums. From the steady doom-like beats to the rampant, grinding tirades and violent outbursts in fills, Juntunen steers his vessel with one firm and central idea: keeping it simple and to the point. “To me, a steady and consistent beat is key. A lot of times, I hear drummers go off and completely lose track of the song. Especially in a songwriting scenario, when all you’re looking for is the perfect beat, something too busy can be a real hurdle. I have intentionally left all of that out and made a collection of grooves tailored for songwriting,” he commented.

The tight, trustworthy staple drums you can never get enough of but always come up short on. Rock drums. Nothing more, nothing less. Basic Rock MIDI. No frills, no fillers, just down to earth rock drums. Yes, this pack comes with exactly the types of grooves and fills that you can never get enough of and that you always seem to come up short on – the tight, trustworthy staple drums that shouldn’t be missing in any rock songwriter’s toolset. “I have always been into drums that don’t get in the way of the song but rather build from the ground up. I think this pack will be extremely useful for a large group of songwriters looking for solid drum tracks”, says drummer Martin Kristoffersson.

Basic Rock Fills MiDi HYBRiD

FANTASTiC | 02 October 2016 | WiN: 4 MB | OSX: 5 MB

Basic Rock Fills MIDI is a follow-up to Basic Rock MIDI and focuses entirely on the one thing you can never get enough of: fills. The little twists and turns that accentuate, ornate or make for smooth transitions in your songs – the bits and pieces that make your music elevate and transcend. “I sometimes find that drummers over-complicate things and dramatize their fills too much. I am not a complicated drummer and never aspired to be. I don’t want to get in the way of the song, just make it lift off where it truly needs to and harness it in between”, says drummer Martin Kristoffersson. Works with EZdrummer, EZdrummer 2, Superior Drummer 2 (optimized for 1 kick, 1 snare, 2 toms, 1 floor tom, 2 crash cymbals, 1 ride cymbal).

To stay out of the beaten path, to go your own way, to always question the frayed, prevalent mindsets? With the Indie Folk MIDI pack, Stephen Belans delivers a wide and useful range of grooves and fills for songwriters that are looking to expand their horizon, go outside their comfort zone or rethink what role the drums can play in a composition.

Basic Rock 2 MIDI picks up where the smash-hit, first pack left off. Meaning, it has more of the traditional, down-to-earth rock beats you can never get too many of.
