Groove Content and Drum Detail

The MIDI files are designed to sit in a rock arrangement across the song structure. Hertz Instruments describes the pack as suitable for crushing intros, main beats, intricate fills and powerful outros, so you can build a full drum part from the same collection.

The grooves include separate parts for left and right hands on the toms and for left and right bass drums. The snare is articulated with seven distinct sounds, which gives you more control over the performance when you edit the patterns in Hertz Drums 2.

The pack also includes waltz-time and progressive patterns alongside straight rock beats, so it covers more than one feel within the same style.

Who It Is For

This pack suits rock and alternative producers who work with Hertz Drums 2 and need a large, varied library of starting points. The range of tempos makes it useful for songs that move between slow, heavy sections and faster, driving ones.

Because the pack requires a full copy of Hertz Drums 2, it is an add-on for existing users of that drum instrument rather than a standalone drum library.
