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.
We’ve got 24 Bit audio drum loops, as well as MIDI drum patterns, bespoke drum kits and custom made sampler patches - featuring all the nuances, dynamics and swing your drum track needs. Our drum loop samples come as straight upbeats, separated drum components and individual hits, with essential drum rolls and fills for building the tension.
