Working on more grooves to add to the upcoming Metal MIDI Drum Loops Groove Pack 1 – adding more syncopated and broken patterns (as well as anything else that comes to mind that is heavy and slamming).

Here are a few new ones from today’s sessions:

A few more added since the original post. We are working to include more 4-bar patterns – sometimes 4 bars of a similar figure and sometimes a 4-bar pattern with a particular phrasing. What’s nice about the longer patterns especially is the fact you could always grab a bar or two that works perfectly for what you are writing. More flexibility is good – we hope you agree.

Interesting Observation – The preceding four-bar MIDI drum loop has 135 MIDI notes. Now, we suppose you could program that – anything’s possible. The question: do you really want to?!
