Velocity detailed Jungle Midi Drum breaks with human swing and groove.
Over 60 MIDI Drum Patterns featuring Human Performed Authentic Grooves: Perfectly crafted for Jungle, DNB, Hip Hop, and Breakbeat genres.
Capturing the nuances that make drummers groove!
This product captures the subtle details that make sequenced drums sound real - the snare hits, the ghost notes, and the natural swing. Although crafted with Drum and Bass and Jungle in mind, these can be slowed down to create infectious grooves for House, Hip Hop, or even Jazz. They can even add a unique rhythmic twist to Soul and Pop tracks.
Inspired by legendary breaks such as Apache, Funky Drummer, the Big Beat, and of course, the Amen. Each MIDI drum pattern has a humanized performance including varying note lengths, Velocities, and Human timing. Ideal for producers who want complete control.
The MIDI allows easy rhythm edits, arrangements, better mix control, more options with FX, and greater sound design opportunities than the drum loop techniques standard in current drum and bass and Jungle productions.
Of course, with MIDI, the rhythms will work with any tempo; Try using 160bpm + for Jungle and Drum and Bass, 130bpm for House, or 80bpm or lower for Hip Hop.

This breaks kit was created as a MIDI Drum Pack, the loops that come with it are the result of testing the MIDI files and sampler. Although very usable, they have had little processing, this was not created as a drum sample pack.
Compatibility:
Compatible with any digital audio workstation (DAW) and sampler on the market, including Ableton Live (Sampler), Cubase (Groove Agent), Nuendo, Studio One, FL Studio, as well as third-party samplers such as HALion, Kontakt, Stylus RMX, Maschine and Simpler. I would highly recommend using and sampler and library that use multi-velocity samples, so you can hear the articulation and syncopated detail.

Tips and Tricks for Using MIDI Drum Breaks
- It's important to use a sampler and sample library that utilizes multi-velocity samples. Without multi-velocity, you will miss the Snare, Hi Hat, and Kick articulation. Getting this right can really make the grooves shine.
- For Jungle try choosing short samples and use the amp envelope (ADSR) on your sampler to shorten the sustain and release. Heavy Jungle and DnB drums can even sound gated at times.
- Kontakt Player 7 comes with a free drum sampler; The Urban and Funk preset works well with the pack.
- Test muting some Kick or Snare hits and Cut up the patterns to build drum progressions and arrangements.
- Try mixing and matching the different percussive instruments from the MIDI drum loops.
