Oct 13, 2013 Each sound has been uniquely designed, mixed and mastered to be ready to drop straight into your production. With over 200 MIDI drum patterns, over 160 drum and FX one shots, over 200 24bit WAV drum loops and 40 bonus audio loops, ‘MIDI Focus – Trap Beats’ will be your go-to pack for all your drum. 35 free drum loops is a collection of loops aimed at hip hop, pop and rock music and is provided in both WAV and MIDI versions for more flexibility. We know it’s a long time since the last FLSM freebie, but with this release, we just started a new series of sample packs, tutorials and 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!
