There is some 3 to one blasts on either the new pack or the first one, which I will use because I need the blasts as well, but everything else is 4/4. I looked all through the new LOTE and everything is 4/4 on there. This beat is there if you use triplets, but then the ride or high hat or whatever, is in fours, not sixes.ĭoes anyone know where there is a midi library with these kind of beats? Again, these are very common beats (at least in the type of music I listen to), and I cant believe that they just got ignored or forgotten. Haake has 2 grooves that do it (if you put the speed up to 2X) using triplets, but if the main part of the song is using this beat, you need more than two versions (especially if one of them is very distinctive and sticks out). Not sure where the kick would go (I am not a drummer).Īgain, variations would be nice, but this is still a very basic beat and I cant find it anywhere. Of course, variations would be nice, but just very simple stuff. OK here is an example: Think of “Post Mortem” by Slayer. So, if this comes out looking like garbled nonsense, I will repost and try to explain in words.

I dont know how the post will look after I hit submit on the forum thing though.

I will try to do a little drum map to demonstrate. I am looking for just the most basic beats. They dont use them as much any more, but listen to an early At the Gates (Slaughter of the Soul for example), and practically every song is in 3/4 or 6/8 or whatever it is. I am suprised that I cant find any of these beats anywhere,as the whole Gothenburg-type melodic death was kind of based on these beats (At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames,etc,etc). Hoglan has a few in the Metal Foundry but his style is so unusual, there arent a whole bunch that I can use all the time. I own practically every Toontrack drum thingy (all the midi packs and metal stuff) but I cant really find any. I am not sure which forum to put this in, so I will use this one as I am using Superior.
