MIDI Drum Patterns for EDM

Programming beats using MIDI with Ableton Drum Rack (or any other drum machine) gives you a degree of customization and flexibility that using pre-fab loops can’t match. When you’re starting to produce in a new genre, though, it can be difficult to figure out exactly where each drum in the MIDI pattern should go. Use these basic dance music drum patterns to get your beat started; once you’re comfortable with programming the MIDI beat, get creative by adding triplets and ghost notes, changing the velocities of the drums, stretching the beat out to a full eight bars, and adding variations to the drum pattern. You can download a zip file containing MIDI clips of all the beats from here, and grab a JPG of all the drum patterns here.

Midi Drum Patterns For Session Drummer. It’s a really well organized collection of drum grooves and I like how each included MIDI sequence comes with a preview WAV loop, so there’s no need to blindly load each MIDI file in your DAW in search for the right drum groove for your project.

Drum Jockey has announced the release of Drum Jockey’s 100 d&b Beats, a free collection of DnB drum loops in MIDI format, with additional preview WAV loops based on the samples from the Premium Drumz drum sample library by BHK Samples.

The included loops are organized into nine different folders by type. For example, there’s a folder for buildups, another folder for break beats, fills, etc. It’s a really well organized collection of drum grooves and I like how each included MIDI sequence comes with a preview WAV loop, so there’s no need to blindly load each MIDI file in your DAW in search for the right drum groove for your project.

The MIDI drum sequences included in this pack are really cool, there’s loads of variety to them and you should definitely check them out if you’re not too fond of programming drums from scratch. You’ll find loads of different DnB drum grooves inside, as well as some cool fills and buildups, ready to trigger the drum hits in your favorite drum sampler.

While the included MIDI sequences are very useful, I must admit that I’m not too impressed with the loops in WAV format. They’re definitely intended for previewing the MIDI grooves rather than for use in music projects. Some of the included drum fills do sound very nice, but most of the loops are too generic. You should definitely go for the MIDI files instead and use them to trigger your own drum samples.

On a somewhat related note, BHK Samples have announced that they will release the updated version of their brilliant NASTY sample library as a free download if enough people share and like this Facebook post. It is a great collection of sounds for use in DnB tunes, definitely worth a bit of extra effort to get it as a freebie!
