Worked perfectly with a few nü metal type songs and integrated seamlessly with Logic Pro/EzMix
I feel like I’m playing with somebody in the room. This is a great pack and an absolute steal! I initially got the free pack, and watched the videos and was sold. It’s got tons and tons of great content and more! Buy it!!
Really good. The midis go in order of verse, pre chorus, chorus, second option chorus, bridge and bridge second option with rolls. There a several per folder for bpm. Outstanding work.
How it works
MIDI is the performance, not the sound, so the grooves play through your own drum kit.

Who made these
Hi, I'm Naman
I have been playing rock and metal drums for more than 15 years. There were not many good metal MIDI packs out there, and most were programmed by guitarists rather than played by a drummer. So I started making my own.
I hope these packs help you write more metal, even a little. If you have a question, mail me at naman@whackstudio.com.
