Toontrack have released Smooth Grooves MIDI pack, available for €29.00.
If you’re looking for slick grooves with that inimitable session-grade studio drummer feel, this collection offers just that. In this pack, session drummer Darby Todd revisits the golden era of ’70s and ’80s West Coast, FM and yacht rock to capture the essence – and take it further.
Expect subtle shuffles, deep-in-the-pocket backbeats, laid-back halftime grooves and patterns infused with just the right touch of paradiddles and ghost notes – delivering that unmistakable session drummer finesse.
This pack is perfect for anyone after smooth, refined grooves across pop, rock, soul or funk – as well as for songwriters looking to expand their creative toolkit with a fresh batch of go-to rhythms for any style where the drums sit back but still drive the song – all delivered in a laid-back, lush and lavish style.

- Drum MIDI for smooth, in-the-pocket grooves
- Inspired by pop, rock, Latin, West Coast, FM and yacht rock
