Have not had a chance to really get into all of what is there but what i have is pretty cool beats i can use and the songs too

Robert M.

Have purchase MIDI grooves from Groove Monkey before. Really liked the past ones I've gotten, and this one did not disappoint. Worked seamlessly with the Beat Buddy. Highly recommend any of the beats sold by Groove Monkey.

Kraig K.

Very Happy! Great collection of songs. Worth the buy.

Robert M.

Love it!!! Love it!!!

Juha

great midi loops These loops are really high quality . Full songs are interesting for studying drum arrangements. Individual loops are easy to use and to modify. I’m using them in Logic with various drum plugins.

Alan M.

excellent 70s grooves, easy to use in logic pro x if you're a fan of ufo , thin lizzy , zz top you'll love these

Michael M.

Nice but limited While I love the other GM drum packs I use (RE1, RE2, Country, Retro Funk), you should know that this one's a little different in that it's based on 16 distinct well-known classic rock songs. Yes, there's a lot of usable stuff in there, especially as starting points, but it's hard to use any of it. The copy did say it was inspired by specific bands, but I didn't realize it was basically all the drum parts of these 16 songs. Now, that said, you can find find a lot of uses at different tempos, but a the nominal tempos it's hard to think of those beats as anything BUT the original songs. In the long run, I have to say I love GM in general, and actually prefer a lot of they have to the more expensive packs sold by the maker of the software drums I use.

Andrea C.

Great drum midi files! totally compatible with SSD5

Klas W.

Classic Rock MIDI Drum Loops Excellent, better than Toontrack's own stuff.

Geoff R.

Such good value The loops gave me a great place to start from, in customizing the drums for my tune. And the Extras pitchlist made my day! Huge time savings. Will definitely get more loops here.

Nick L.

Very good value for money Very good value for money MIDI Drum Loops

Mike O.

Nice addition but.. Lots of useful beats, particulary in uncommon time signatures. Not really a fan of the completed song format. I'd rather decide for myself how to use the loops.

Stan K.

Awesome stuff Will come back to buy more for sure

Miles J.

Groove Monkee drum loops rock Whenever I need inspiration I open EZDrummer, audition GM loops, find something fitting, compose out my basic song structure and I’m off! I love the natural groove and non-robotic feel - thanks GM! Keep up the good work!

Charles V.

Classic Rock Midi Drum loops! As always, amazing and makes life a lot easy!

Brian T.

True Drum Staples These are fantastic classic rock staples. They come from recognizable songs, but the drum parts aren't so iconic that you can't do anything else with them. For example, When the Levee Breaks is so iconic, I don't know how well it would work in any other song. These, however, can work in a whole host of different songs and styles.

Rob H.

Great grooves! Exactly what I have been looking for! Some straight up Rock grooves without a lot busy, “show off” beats going on. I’m using it primarily with Addictive Drums 2 and it sounds great and very natural. Love it!

Vincent M.

A Welcomed Relief From Groove Monkey The midi drum loops I recently purchased from Groove Monkey proved to be an excellent addition to my growing drum loop library. The loops are relevant, and distinctive, as well as being offered at a surprisingly modest pricing. These drum loops from Groove Monkey, installed easily, with no problems. I use EZ Drummer 2 as a drum platform, and these drum loops integrated seamlessly with the platform, producing intros, fills, pre- chorus and endings, as if they were the platforms accompanying loops. I intend to continue to purchase drum loops from Groove Monkey. As a singer/songwriter, recording artist, whom performs all the instruments, vocals, and harmonies, I am much appreciative to be free of the "drums, beats" problem. Thanks guys!!!!!!

Gj U.

Classic Rock Drum Loops Nice beats and fills. Use them often for songwriting and demos in Pro Tools and FL Studio.

Matthew B.

Plenty to work with here I am very impressed with the selection of content to work with in this loop package, especially around the different drum roll and tom patterns to choose from. This has been an area that doesn't seem to receive enough attention in other products and packages.

Mario D.

Best MIDI drum loops IMHO GrooveMonkee's MIDI drum loops are the best on the market. I have 20 different MIDI packs from GrooveMonkee and I would rate them all with 5 stars.

Jd O.

Classic! Rock! Groove Monkee! Really cool stuff. Great for some classic jams, but just as awesome to use for all kinds of tunes. Get it! You won’t be disappointed. Never enough stars for GM reviews! :-)

Paul K.

Most high, most excellent grooves. Using Groove Monkee with Addictive Drums 2. Finding the parts to be so well played and perfect feel..they're setting off tracks brilliantly for me and playing along with electric guitar begets ideas that start whole new things. Ease of application and quality of product ..most high..most grooving. Thank you.

Ed S.

Classic Rock MIDI Drum loops As a writer, I tend toward this style of music. This set of loops has helped me to put down some basic changes to new material. Since they are primarily "song based" I can't do quite as much as I like with them, but with the other loops that I have downloaded there is plenty to choose from for writing.

Stuart H.

Great value midi tracks that Great value midi tracks that impart a ‘human‘ drummer groove to home recordings

Chris M.

superb as always excellent drums highly recommended by me.great buy

Rich C.

Great Variety- Great Price I just recently purchased two packs from Groovemonkee and I really wasn't sure what I would be getting, but the samples on their website sounded good and the price was right. When I did finally upload the packs into Addictive Drums, which was a breeze btw, I discovered how much was actually in each pack. There were countless usable drum beats in many different equally usable forms. This stuff is great and easily rivals packs twice the price! I will be purchasing more packs from Groovemonkee!

Tom H.

Awesome quality! Awesome quality! Great drum midi files. Working perfectly with my vst drum software

Andy F.

Heaps of usable beats. Heaps of usable beats.

Frank P.

Great all around drum beats I started with the free midi pack, then purchased this. Great variety of grooves and fills. Get's the creativity going! I will be purchasing another pack again soon!

Jun Y.

cool! The data was very easy to use.

William H.

Good but not what I was hoping for Before buying this pack, I did not realize that it was basically recreations of classic rock songs with beats that are specific to those songs. I thought that it would be beats "inspired by" classic rock. Having said that, the quality and ease of use were good.

Dominic M.

Always Quality Products I own many of the midi Drum packages from Groove Monkey and they never disapoint. I love how they are generally put into song structures Verse, Chorus, Pre, Bridge, Intro, and Outro ect... My Only recommendation is that you guys add more. Not saying you need more per package that is generally fine and at a fare price. I'm saying more packages. I would love more funky stuff, like a funk/rock pack that would concentrate on things that are on the lines of Chili Peppers, I Mother Earth, Primus(anything Claypool really), you know the more resent funk based rock. Thank you for your products and I look forward to you guys putting out new packages soon.

JIM T.

MIDI Drum Loops Clicked the installer and it loaded them right into EZDrummer2. Easy to use and they sound great!

Michael S.

Perfect Everything is organized in such a way that building a song is like building with LEGO. You can feel that a real drummer played the loops. When looking for inspiration musically I turn to Groove Monkey drum packs and let the rhythms guide me.

Douglas K.

Great MIDI Drum Loops I've been using Groovemonkee midi drum loops for years - I think they are excellent - and the fills really make my songs come alive.

Olivier B.

Recent customer Hello, I bought Groovemonkey midi files to extend my drums midi files library. I used BFD but changed recently for Stevenslate which i find much more simple and useable. I am not a professional composer and use Cubase 10.5 in my homestudio. I am a guitar player with fifty years of practice. I would be pleased to find generic piano midi files in rock and pop styles usable without the need of a specific player (See Ezplayer commercial strategy with their specific file format). Best regards.

Bingo F.

Extremely helpful foundation for understanding how to program realistic drums I got the Classic Rock midi pack because it's got some great drum beats. Not that I particularly want to play classic rock on Ableton, but I'm hoping to use bits of these files so I can incorporate realistic drumming in my music.

Alex S.

Awesome! Just what I needed So much variety. This will really help my drum parts groove. Of course, now I'll have to look to improve my bass lines too - oh, you've got midi files for that too :)

David B.

Let's Rock like "HUMANS" Excellent rock grooves that fit many rock styles. I love the human feel of the grooves and use them before I use the DAW or Drum AU/VST presets. Keep them coming Groove Monkee.

Lasse R.

Very usable. Personally I would Very usable. Personally I would like to have some stop breaks as well.

Groove M.

Classic Rock MIDI Drum Loops Another great product from GM. Happy I purchased it. Speaking from years of personal experience, I can say that this Company has always delivered the kind of product I wanted, at a fair price. Their friendly help and advice has also been very much appreciated.

Robert L.

GREAT DRUMS!! EAsy to use and sound awesome!!

Michael A.

Classic Rock MIDI - the whole ball game I've recorded guitar and keyboards at home for decades, and invested considerable amounts of time, energy, and money into MIDI loops for building rhythm sections. The latest Classic Rock MIDI Drum Loops is excellent to the point that I no longer bother worrying about alternatives to Groove Monkee... and especially now that it has full length songs included. This it big! I'm not actually a drummer, so piecing together all the separate parts into a song has been painfully hit and miss up to now. The 16 full length song examples are golden to illustrate how everything should fit together. I know what sounds good when I hear it, and expertly crafted drum tracks are available in this package for use or reference. Just sayin', Groove Monkee is as good as it gets.

Pete P.

Spices Your Drums Adding a variety of Classic Rock MIDI Drum Loops to your drum programming adds character and spice to the mix. It adds a more human element for non-drummers programming their drum track.

Kevin B.

Excellent, well done G.M.! There is a lot that can be done with your midi tracks. It's interesting to just listen to the tracks and instantly follow along in your mind and know the breaks coming up are right on point. But to use these well played tracks on client projects, mix and match segments from other files from Classic rock as well as others are simple magic when assembled. I mainly use Slate SD5.5 now, and assembling an arrangement goes very smooth, along with editing and shaping to perfection. Totally authentic performances. Thank you G.M.

Phil S.

Wonderful Loops Wonderful Loops

Jon K.

Really Good! I like this library.

Jean B.

Wonderfully happy with your BB Wonderfully happy with your BB loop. Thank you for the good job

Jonathan M.

Great value for money I like the organisation so it makes it easy to build a track, literally and build the momentum and intensity putting one slightly busier loop after another and they match perfectly. I use EZ Drummer 2 in Reaper, the mapping is perfect. I've bought loads of midi from GM, my favourite is the Hard Rock pack, which is spankin'!

Michael W.

Great Beats Very usable, I always find some great grooves that help me with songwriting. Thanks

Antonis A.

Great product! Very inspiring, I already use it for the drumming parts of many song of my new record!

Stephan F.

Great product but fiddly install Fantastic midi files but fiddly to set up for various DAWs and ez drummer/bfd eco

Jf D.

Great grooves, woudn't work on Great grooves, woudn't work on music without them!

Anthony T.

Classic Rock MIDI Drum Thoughts It's a good mix for the money but there seems to lack of good feel or flow in the variations. Maybe it's just me, I'm not a drummer but a lot of those repetitive snare hits are useless to me and need editing. I do get a few useful grooves but they do take time that is best spent playing my instruments so I'm not so sure if I would purchase the larger packages.

John R.

Excellent for use with best Excellent for use with best buddy, but right after I bought many loops it was added as part of beatbuddy offerings in 2020. Had I know, I would have bought a different larger set from beatbuddy.

Billy B.

Excellent! Excellent loops. Organized perfectly!

Aaron L.

Easily installed and works great! Finally! I had been looking for a solution for more grooves in order to avoid more work-intensive and expensive solutions. The grooves from GM are great, and they come in more than just 4/4 time signatures. Versatile and professional! Tested them in Native Instruments' Studio Drummer and they work as advertised - had them installed and listened to them within 20 min of purchasing. The install tutorial videos were very helpful.

Ruben G.

Good assortment of clasic drum loops I prefer Groove Monkee loops to any other loop provider. The drumming is excellent and the loop variety is excellent.

Classic Rock MIDI Drum Loopa Awesome MIDI set! Very verstile.

Jeff E.

Classic Rock Great set of loops. Don't be fooled by the rock label. There are a few classic hip hop beats among them.

Eric T.

Classic Rock selection, purchased August 2019 Hi folks, I have tried the some of the above mentioned loops with a new composition. They are very nicely done, sound very professional but the rhythms are somewhat complicated and have a strong character which can overwhelm a composition, especially if it is in an early stage. I have to modify them to achieve a rhythm that I find fits the composition well and I don’t find this particularly easy. I have in the past generally used very generic sounding loops or built up the parts by hand. The results were good but sometimes a bit boring. On the whole the Groove Monkey loops are impressive and useful as a starting point. Also it’s interesting to see how the slight inaccuracies in timing make the rhythm more interesting.

Guy P.

Sounds just like I remember Like being in a studio with (competent) musician friends. Great to knock out those ideas and give them life - franken.music if you like.

Jim S.

Take-Off or Cover? Your Choice! Some pretty on-the-money tracks that could work either way. I would love to see the folks at GM take requests for the next couple, THAT would be great! I am using this collection with Session Drummer 3 & the Platinum Samples kits....quick easy setup & use for sure. I own all the GM sets, there are none better IMHO!

Robert M.

BobMichigan Quality, easy to use, A+

Heath Vinyard

As Always, Top Notch! Love all the GM midi packs, and this one captures the essence and feel of the classic rock drum patterns perfectly! You can't go wrong with ANY of the Groove Monkee products!

David A.

Great Loops! I love all of Groove Monkee’s products. They are the next best thing to having a great drummer in your studio. (Maybe better, since this drummer shows up on time and doesn’t hit on your girlfriend.) As advertised, these are the drum parts to a bunch of classic songs from the 70s. I came up with some great parts by using the loops in new songs. I also had a great time dialing in a Plexi sound on my amp sim and blasting some of my favorite songs. Keep up the great work GM!

Tom T.

excellent excellent

Gregory N.

Just OK. Barely Lots of similar variations on only a few songs. If I had seen a listing of what was actually in the library I think I might have passed. Not really worth it if you have the other rock libs.

Bryan J.

Classic rock midi drum loops To me.... this is the best one yet. Lots of mileage out of it for daily use! Thumb up!

Dennis G.

Groove Monkee Midi seems to have more usable drum arrangements than some of the other drum giants for a much less They keep the simple steady solid drum arrangements while presenting you with fabulous Drum rolls

William P.

Helpful Helpful For Learning Those songs

David R.

Classic Rock MIDI Drum Loops These loops were exactly what I was looking for. I am never disappointed with GM Loops.

Katja O.

Nice Nice

Sven C.

Works great It's nice to have these quality midi files available to Studio Drummer in Kontakt. Suspect I'll be using all of them over time.

Takeyuki K.

Those are very cool! Those are inspired me writing songs.

Larry R.

Very easy to load I use Beat Buddy. And it is a plus to have these mapped for this product. I like creating my own beats from scratch too, but challenging. Keep up the good work on providing. BTW, Your free surf beats are awesome too!

Carl S.

More great grooves! I recently picked up "Classic Rock MIDI Drum Loops" and I've been enjoying them quite a bit. Even though these loops are all from major classic rock songs, I grab sections and grooves to use in my own writing. Well done!

Kim S.

Great Midi Drum Loops I use your loops more than anything else
