A collection of hip-hop drum MIDI variations that are off for all the right reasons. When it comes to timing, there’s no right or wrong. Some rush the beat, others stay behind it – a few, like Hampus Sjöstedt, venture off into completely new rhythmic landscapes. “For me, I’ve realized that real groove is when I let go of all inhibitions, lose myself in the beat and just let music be music,” he commented.

A JOURNEY IN DYNAMICS.From subtle to the most explosive outbursts. A true journey in dynamic drumming. A post-rock song is all about dynamics, about starting from from an open soundscape and adding layer by layer until the track explodes into a violent crescendo. It’s about thinking outside the box, about raw emotion and unadulterated creativity. And that is exactly how Icelandic drummer Arnar Gíslason approached the recording of this drum MIDI. He started with the most stripped down groove imaginable and then let each variation take its own natural course towards an absolute peak – from the most subtle, nuanced patterns to violently forcing every element of the kit to fit in probably some of the most energetic and creative drum beats ever recorded. This collection of true off-kilter rhythmic ideas will undoubtedly put a new, interesting spin on your next track. Expect the unexpected.

The two engines feedback both into themselves and into each other, creating concentrated and constantly varying patterns in time and in space. Remnant also features a fully vector, resizable interface that pushes the boundaries of traditional audio plugin design.

Jazz is the art of musical storytelling where the instruments all speak their own language, but with one coherent voice. Welcome to the chapter about drums.

NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED.EZkeys MIDI that will make your skin crawl. How do you musically narrate a nightmare? A ghostly figure that suddenly appears in someone’s mirror image?

MELODIC MELANCHOLY.Piano ideas for songs that emote, provoke – and uplift. In music, there's something about melancholy that strikes a chord.
