Toontrack Drum MIDI: The Metal Foundry

Three Drummers, One Package

Three world-class drummers in one, massive MIDI library. Expect anything from classic rock to the farthest left on the scale of extreme metal.

This collection of MIDI drum grooves and fills comes from the Superior Drummer sound library expansion The Metal Foundry SDX. It includes performances from three drummers: Gene Hoglan, Dirk Verbeuren, and Peter Tisell (formerly Fredander). Combined, the performances in this package paint a comprehensive picture of drums covering anything from traditional, basic hard rock to extreme metal.

Gene Hoglan, known from Strapping Young Lad, Testament, and many others, presents a full-on metal assault: frenetic double-bass drum work, intense skank beats, and over-the-top fills – perfect for death and thrash metal.

Dirk Verbeuren (Soilwork, Scarve) lays down some of his patented blast beats, carpet rolls, and skank beats but also delivers some classy tom grooves and crushing mid-tempo. A solid, versatile performance, ideal for modern metal in any shape or form.

Peter Tisell's part covers the more traditional side of the hard rock spectrum – basic grooves and fills, leaving out much of the double-bass frenzy. A collection of solid, in-the-pocket grooves for any basic rock or metal song.

Combined, the three drummers in this MIDI collection showcase a cross-section of modern rock and metal drumming at its very best.

Works with EZdrummer, EZdrummer 2, Superior Drummer 2 and Superior Drummer 3 (optimized for 2 kicks, 1 snare, 3 toms, 2 floor toms, 3 crash cymbals, 1 china and 1 ride cymbal).

Please note that this is the same MIDI as included in The Metal Foundry SDX.
