Metal Essentials Vol.1 is a collection of must have grooves if you are making music in the Progressive Metal, Power Metal or Death Metal genres. With over 260 different grooves, you can stop wasting time trying to figure out how to write great drum parts and focus on everything else you need to do to make a great song. Metal Essentials was designed to allow songwriters to quickly create drum parts fit for most situations. They can be used as the final drum parts for the song or as a blueprint for your drummer to jump off from. All grooves and fills were performed and captured by session drummer Mazen Ayoub to ensure you get the realistic-sounding drums your music deserves. Combined with Extinction Level Event, it makes what is already the most realistic drum library on the planet even better with the touch of a world-class drummer. NOTE: This MIDI pack only contains the MIDI files, no sampler/library is included. The MIDI files contained are compatible with all popular third-party samplers.
