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!!
-
I have been playing Guitar for over 25yrs, I have spent so much money on midi packs that sound like pure shit, but finally the Good Lord blessed me and led me to WhackStudio, these are 100 times better than all the other big names on the market. These midi packs are the best and If your stuck writing new riffs and ideas, I promise these will break you from that. I will buy any new pack that whackstudio releases!! Thanks. Jon
-
These are some of the best metal and rock midi drum files I have come across. I downloaded a few of the free ones and knew I had to buy the mega pack. They map perfectly in EZ Drummer and they are a nice combo of creative and dynamic without trying to do too much.
-
It's an awesome package and fits perfectly to my others, especially the death core pack is kicking your ass seriously.
-
Again I am super satisfied with my newest purchase. I really enjoy Namans drum ideas and usually they perfectly fit my own ideas. Again highly recommended! This won’t be my last midi pack by Whack Studio!
-
Very easy drag and drop, makes all my ideas come too life. Best ideas from this pack.

Was soll ich sagen, als absoluter Noob was Schlagzeug angeht, bin ich begeistert! Damit kann ich endlich besser Metal Produktionen machen ohne ständig nach Drummern zu suchen die mir das einspielen oder programmieren können. ------------------ What can I say? As a complete drummer, I'm thrilled! This means I can finally create better metal productions without constantly having to search for drummers who can play or program them for me.
-
Wow. The Breakdown Midi Pack and the 100+ drum tracks are awesome. I obviously haven't heard or used them all. There are so many. Truly inspiring. Riff and song ideas just spark and flow when listening to these drums. There is life and feel in the playing. Outstanding. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thank You.
-
This is a dream come true! Ive bought plenty of drum files before. Out of the 200 files you find 20 beats that are useable. These metal packs are a immeasurable value. laid out in a theme building format every single beat is usable. I crap you negative. im buying the everything bundle my next paycheck.
-
Big package in such a small order(free), and I have to say I couldn’t be more impressed. The grooves are unique and have their own individual characteristics and serve their own purpose. Very fun and filling and I’m blown away by the quality and lack of generic quality. Very good stuff sir!
-
Absolutely solid bundle all around. As many of us musicians know, writers block is a very real struggle. I loaded up one of the grooves and within 5 minutes I had a a solid riff laid out. Also, as a complete noob with this whole digital software stuff, this was extremely easy to use.
-
Well executed natural sounding grooves with some personality. I’m actually using these on an iPad for now, so I’m limited to editing in the DAW (Logic Pro), which makes the reference samples extremely helpful in my case. Very satisfied!
-
Really amazing drums! super useful for saving time programming drums and also really useful for getting inspiration for parts. Couldnt recommend enough, will definitley check out the paid stuff when i can.
-
It's a MIDI drum pack that's very well made. Not only is it completely free, but you can also use it and adapt it to your song, whether by adding, removing, or changing each MIDI beat. It's great!
-
Really solid midi pack, with tons of different patterns in various BPM. The reference files with audio are also super helpful. Simple to create good beats and map them with your favorite plugin.
-
I signed up for the free Metal Drum Midi Tracks to learn how to write parts a little better, as I'm not a drummer and these grooves will help me learn. It's great.
-
Great breakdowns! I've already used them in a couple of tracks and they work for a ton of different uses. Very versatile! Thanks again.
-
What an amazing pack of excellent grooves for metal drums. Both audio and midi files are most useful for my productions. Thank you!
-
This pack is incredible! Both MIDI and WAV files are so well done. Just dropped them in my DAW and ideas came flowing. Thanks!

Incredibly good and easy to use, this makes your track go to a whole new level and inspire you to make them better. Rock on.

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the free midi files. Definitely exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Lot of useful breakdown/drum track to choose from and help improve or boost your creativity, that's really neat !

Awesome pack. It has helped me visualise drum patterns and elevated my music production to the next level
-
I am not a drummer, so this pack helped me tremendously to achieve the vision I had in mind. Thank you!

Very nice selection using ableton and modo drum all mappings were correct without need to edit anything

I use ezdrummer and GGD, and these midi patterns are amazing, a welcomed addition to sound bank

Incredible and believable midis, the grooves are fluent and fun and easy to place and play to.
-
I wasn't expecting much - midi files were simple to drop into a daw and chop up for ideas.
-
These grooves are pretty amazing. They have that real human feel to them just as promised.
-
Great grooves for anyone seeking new ideas and some creative fire! A guitarists must have
-

-
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!!
-
Songs are organized by song structure! And I only bought it once.
-
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.
-
This is exactly what I was looking for. The nu metal beats aren't completely inundated with double kick. (Which is cool, but not all the time.) Glad I found this.
-
As a guitar player this is a dream this is exactly what people like me need to keep creating I wish I found this years ago. It fits perfect with ultimate heavy drums. The guy is killer and drum tracks are killer. 10 out of 10 will be getting as much as I can. Love.
-
Really digging this breakdowns pack and looking forward to trying out more from Whack Studios. They really help to pull me out of writing block, as they integrate along with my other groove packs seamlessly.
-
Already started a song with these, cant beat a breakdown as your intro and very easy to map with the notes provided in the folder
-
Good selection of drums, and in ableton using modo drum all mappings were correct with no need to edit.
-
great stuff, accessible and easy to implement.. looking forward to more...
-
These drums are amazing. Some really unique and realistic drum beats. Tons of rolls and fills. Even segregated breakdown midi. Metalcore collection is my favorite so far. Definitely made with a metal musician in mind. 🤘🏻
-
What an excellent way to spark inspiration! This free bundle contains a huge amount of incredibly useful and easily-workable MIDI files which are exactly the jumping-off-point I need on occasion to get the riffs flowing.
-
I love the variety of the drums you get for free and how easily transferable they were to my programs and DAW (studio one). Highly recommended for beginners in the recording world like myself! Thank you :)
-
Good pack works with ugritone stuff. do wish midi names were a bit more descriptive.

-
Free metal breakdown mini pack is fire. Very inspiring and heavy! Thanks!
-
I've been on the hunt lately for some Drum beats and came across Whack Audio. As a guitarist I don't like spending hours programming drums so Whack Audio had a free content pack of breakdowns so I tried it out and was immediately impressed! There is so many companies that provide midi drums at a price and being able to sample them before hand will also be my go to route. We all hate spending our hard earned money and getting crappy quality stuff. Whack Audio definitely has my attention now!
-
So many beats to choose from! These packs are helping me complete my ideas much faster than figuring out how to think like a drummer lol
-
Top-notch catalogue of midi files. Currently trying to build some songs that were started more than 10 years ago and these packs have been a godsend. Keep it up!
-
Awesome for a guitarist. It helped me improve my songwriting!! Perfect!!!
-
Killer drum breakdowns so many inspiring beats and ones that will fit somethings I'm working on. Great for coming up with ideas finishing ideas and creating skeleton song demo's. Really helping me map out the songs in my head will be buying more midi packs in the future.

I own 4 Midi packs for Doom and hands down, these here are the absolute best (at least for me)! I was and is a pleasure using them and breathe life into my ideas. Great job, Naman!
-
Actually, the first MIDI pack I found, specialized in intros & outros. Great stuff delivered from Naman / Whack Studio. I can fully recommend it.
-
As a guitarist the last thing I wanted to do was spend months trying to teach myself how to midi drums decent enough just to write riffs. These drum midi’s are studio quality and sound phenomenal in my daw! They sound great and at any BPM btw so scaling up or down is very clean! Tremendously valuable for anyone!!
-
Briefly looked at the contents and looking to use in an upcoming project

Love every pack I have gotten so far. Can't believe I missed these! They are studio quality and unlike anything out there. I even use them in some of my Bass plug ins and they work great!

Frequently asked questions
What are MIDI packs?
Drum MIDI packs are a set of grooves recorded by a real drummer on an e-kit. These packs usually follow a constant theme and are a great source for speeding up song writing.
Why shouldn't I just program drums myself?
Programmed drums can end up sounding extremely robotic, with a machine gun effect. All the Whack Studio MIDI packs have been played by a real drummer and keep the feel of a real drummer behind a kit.
Drum programming can take a huge amount of time. That time is better spent making more music instead of clicking individual hits with a mouse.
If you are a guitarist, playing and getting creative on the guitar is your forte. Similarly, drumming is my strength. With these MIDI packs you get a wide variety of grooves played with a lot of creativity.
What will I need to use the MIDI pack?
An audio editing program (DAW) like Cubase or Ableton, and a drum VST like EZ Drummer, Superior Drummer, GGD or any other.
Are the MIDI packs compatible with all drum VSTs?
Yes. The MIDI packs follow the common GM drum map and can be easily mapped to any drum sampler.
How do I get the exact mapping?
Once you download the MIDI pack and extract it, you will find a text file with all the mapping.
How do I use it?
Once you extract the zip file you will find a folder of MIDI files. Drag and drop the files into any DAW to use them.
Licence and what you get
100% royalty-free MIDI files that work with any drum sample library. The pack does not include audio loops; it includes reference drum files so you can cycle through individual grooves quickly without setting up your VST. The MIDI files follow the GM drum map, all mappings are included, and each groove is BPM labelled.
Delivery and refunds
Delivery is instant, by email, as a digital download. Since this is a digital product, refunds aren't possible.

Who created this?
Hey there! I am Naman and welcome to Whack Studio! I have been playing rock and metal drums for over 15 years now.
I am very passionate about drumming and made these MIDI packs to be the perfect writing tool for musicians.
