Toontrack have released The Hip-Hop Handbook MIDI pack, available for €29.00.
Few genres have groove etched into their DNA like hip-hop. Born from lifting breaks and loops off records, it has turned repetition into an art form – taking just a few bars and twisting them inside out to come up with all-new rhythmic narratives. In hip-hop, groove isn’t something you add later. It’s where it takes off from.
For this pack, session ace Bill Burns played his way through three defining eras of the genre: the 1990s, the 2000s, and the 2010s. Get ready for a journey spanning 30 years of groove evolution – from loose, break-driven swing to tight pockets and repetitive patterns, all performed with that naturally swung, imperfect human feel intact.
In hip-hop, groove is the blueprint for any effective beat. With this pack, you won’t skip a single one.
What’s included:
- Drum MIDI inspired by three decades of hip-hop: the 1990s, the 2000s and the 2010s
- Touching on styles like boom bap, West Coast, G-funk, trap and more
- Played by session drummer Bill Burns
- A total of 15 “songs” and more than 490 individually played files in total
- 4/4 in straight feel with tempos ranging from 80 BPM to 134 BPM
The Hip-Hop Handbook MIDI pack requires EZdrummer or Superior Drummer.
