Handy Grooves: highly-usable Metal drum loops

Handy Grooves: Highly-usable Metal drum loops

You don’t want a drum loop that sounds like a firecracker had gone off in the drummer’s pants.

This collection of Metal drum beats starts from the very basic and builds on that foundation to bring you an exhaustive assortment of highly usable Metal grooves.

 

For wusses and madmen alike, these Metal drum grooves cover all grounds. 

As with all drum loop packs from the Handy Grooves collection, the Metal Drums are …well, handy!

They snap together beautifully, particularly when you meld
the appropriate genre-flavoured grooves with their respective kits.

COMPUTER MUSIC

The grooves are very usable, the MIDI obviously editable,
and the price pretty modest given what’s on offer.

A turnkey way to stay focused on your creativity and songwriting
without worrying about the details.

Injected with Human Feel

Zoomed in view of midi note off grid indicating human feel

Mathematical perfection is not desired in music, more times than not. Slight deviations from the rigid grid make a drum groove “swing” or feel natural.

 

While these Metal drum loops contain a perfectly consistent feel through the grooves, those grooves are not robotic as they do not conform to the equal mathematical grid.

Expertly Edited

Expertly Edited

What matters are the end results: great-sounding metal drum grooves.

 

Merely recording even a world-class Metal drummer on an e-drumset doesn’t guarantee the results will translate to an acoustic-like performance.

 

We carefully edit or program each note so that what you hear sounds as close as possible to what a great drummer would sound on acoustic drums. We then ensure that the feel is consistent throughout and that the grooves loop seamlessly.

Micro-Dynamics

Demonstration of dynamics of midi files

We, human drummers, play drums dynamically. In addition to playing entire song sections softer or louder, every bar contains micro-dynamics.

Micro-dynamics are the differences between accented and unaccented notes. Without them, a perfectly natural drum groove ends up sounding robotic and fake.

 

Handy Grooves Metal Drums contain completely natural micro-dynamics. They playback as if a human drummer would play them.

“In the Pocket”

“In the Pocket”

Together, human feel, proper articulations, and consistent groove make these Metal drum loops sound this good and “in the pocket.”

 

If you can’t get the world’s greatest metal drummer to lay down your drum tracks, these drum loops will be your next best thing. Remember: with great power comes great responsibility. Use accordingly.

Practical time-saver

Someone once said: “Programming drum loops is as fun as having a root canal done”. 😂

Avoid the pain when you use one of our midi Metal drum loops as your starting point.

 

With the main beat, dynamics, and human feel already in place, customize them by muting, dragging, changing the notes, or even drum kits while preserving the original human elements.

Variable Hi-hats

Variable Hi Hats- What Are They And How To Utilize Them Within Handy Drums?

Variable Hi-hats

Variable hi-hats allow you to easily adjust how open or how close a hi-hat is played. Handy Grooves METAL DRUMS loops were created for Handy Drums plugins, which accomplish variable hi-hats in the most practical and easy way possible.

 

The hi-hats utilize only two midi notes: one for the edge and the other for the tip sounds and you can regulate the openness by utilizing the CC4.

 

This approach streamlines something that was previously more of a time sink of assigning notes to each articulation.
