Ballad MIDI Drum Loops
If you're having problems with the demos, you can listen here.
Less Is More
Ballads are all about space and proper dynamics. We kept things relatively simple and less "busy" - with a lighter touch.
No Frills Fills
"Short and sweet" fills usually get the job done. Plus, the fills are tailored to the verse and chorus sections for easier song creation.

Best value for the money - clean with a human feel. All Groove Monkey products work perfectly with my SD3 & Addictive tracks.
Corey K.
Best ballad drum midi beats I've found yet and I've tried many. These are great.
Tom L.
Great ballad grooves, Will use it in the future for sure.
Jucinaldo S.
I didn't install well. Because I just can see a little beat no more than 10????,,
Carl R.
Excellent loops. More like this for acoustic groups.
Dean R.
Great beats
Verl H.
The most professional sounding ballad grooves I have found. I don’t think anyone has as many quality grooves at this price.
David D.
I love this pack, it sounds like a real drummer. Will be buying all their packs in the near future.
Rick D.
1. The beats in Ballads all sound like hard rock to me. I was hoping there would be some simple, lighter examples.
2. The names aren’t helpful. Maybe it would help if the beats were named for a popular song they would work with.
3. Cakewalk used to have something called Session Drummer which categorized beats by musical genre: mambo, swing, calypso, etc. I would like to see something like this.
Bradley H.
I’ve enjoyed using the midi sets so much that I wanted to share them with a friend and, seeing as I believe in paying for what I use, I purchased this duplicate set to gift to him. Thanks for your continuing support.
EDSON L.
Dos kits que adequiri, até agora esse é meu favorito. Componho muita música com estilo clássico, e esse kit tem quase tudo que preciso.

Russ R.
I like these midi drum tracks a lot. I've been using other recorded drum files, but they lack the editability and feel of these.
MICHEL D.
Ce sont les beats qui manquaient à ma collection pour pouvoir produire de bons enregistrements.
Merci Groove Monkee
Paolo S.
To me is the perfect tool to create your songs.
ANDY J.

Darryl M.
Can't wait to see some gospel grooves and wider selection of rnb, hip hop, etc. Great price range and very good grooves.
Don't work without it. Thanks guys.
Ralph N.
Liked the Demo song #1, have been talking to Russ about info on the midi files used on the Demo if he can any on his computer. It might generate more orders if you had a list of the midi files used on Demo songs to help inspire new users.
PHIL L.
Another great pack from the team, thanks!!
Frank Y.
One can put the drum midi together much easier
Tim F.
Amazing tools. All incredibly useful and useable
Kevin D.
Groove Monkee midi files are an excellent source of inspiration for all types of music. These ballad based grooves are superb, they certainly beat spending a long time getting a starting point for a song.
Alexander W.
Good set of softer beats
Patrick P.
The ballad grooves where perfect for what we had to do. Our drummer couldn't make it, so we had to bring in virtual drums for our gig. We coupled them with Native Instruments Abbey roads 60s drummer and it worked so well, I'm not sure our drummer has a job anymore!
Giuseppe F.
The midi file are really very well done...
Steve S.
Great midi-files. Highly recommend based on quality and value.

G.M.'s Ballad MIDI Drum Loops! AWESOME!
Ballad MIDI Drum Loops turned out to be a great purchase for me. I'm not a pro song writer or musician, but they came in handy, for what i needed. I'm actually working on a Latin song at the moment, and I use EZ drummer 2 with GM midi Ballads, and a fellow musician friend of mine like what i was working on and asked me, who's song is that, and what drums did you use, I like that ballad style, i just smiled and grinned, and I told him about GM and what they sell, he called me about an hour ago, and told me that he just bought a program called addicted drums something like that, and he was gonna buy this pack, and some other ones that he liked. but the ballad midi pack was his favorite, so you're gonna love ballad midi, they are amazing, it's so good that my friend who has been playing drums for 15 years loved it and he's a rocker, and has toured with some big acts, and he loved the pack. So i value his opinion and this midi pack is super awesome it's bad ass. I highly recommend it, any of GM's midi packs this is a bad ass company who makes really good midi packs, and if you are a first time buyer, and work on ballad type music, this is the midi pack for you, I highly recommend it. I hope this little review help you out. Oh and by the way, Merry Christmas to the GM family and all shopper and buyer and Happy New Year too, take care and be safe and God bless you all.

Straight to Jamming
This is about as a good as it gets next to having a real drummer to play with. As a guitar player, I don't want to spend a lot of time programming the drums on my tracks. These midi patterns are huge for getting the most of your jam time at home. 10/10 for quality and ease of use. I will definitely be picking up other GM packs in the future
David T.
sounds great but having a little problem
Great sounding tacks and very usable racks vs. others that are too complicated. Have a problem inserting them into studio one but hopefully will figure it out.
Tom T.
Great balance
These patterns are so well done. The dynamics are correct and not over played.
George S.

Buenisima coleccion para inspirarte
Lo utilizo con Groove Agent, y no he tenido ningun problema con el GM, todos los instrumentos están en su sitio y puedo trabajar rápidamente con ellos.
Recomiendo 100x100 las librerias de Groove Monkee

Ballad Drum Loops
In most cases I use these loops to generate ideas for my live drum tracks, however at times I do use the loops themselves in the final production. They are that good!!

Excellent patterns and great service
One of the problems I’ve experienced as a singer songwriter who writes predominantly acoustic material, is that most MIDI drum loops (and drum loops in general) seem to be written for electronic compositions and sound unnatural in a more traditional song setting. However, I really like this collection. There are lots of variations to inspire and they sound natural in Reason using a basic (id8) player and its acoustic drum set up. I’m also impressed that I got an email a day or so after purchasing the loops to ask how I was getting on and to offer support if necessary. I will definitely purchase more from Groove Monkey.
Jim A.
Very nice
The only problem is my singing. The drum loops are great.
Alva R.

Finally some good ballad drums
I've got quite a few libraries that include supposed ballads but they're just way too busy. These hit the spot for what I was after.
Dave Byers
Ballads that are good for ballads...
Sadly, I've got a TON of MIDID drum loops and many of the ballads are crazy over played. I was in need of sparse ballad midi loops and came here and BINGO that's what I needed. Thx. I like the non-quantized real feel also.
R H.

A nice collection of slow grooves for sure:+1::+1:

Great Drums!

Ballad midi drum loops
Excellent product I highly recommended it
Francisco A.
Ballad
Three stars because there is little help as how to proceed. Granted you get videos to chose your preferred tool but it would be immensely helpful to be abe to audio each song without having to go into the folders. You end up fishing an fishing. Loops are good.
Tony J.
About as good as it gets.
Top quality product. This will certainly be my "Go to" company for the future.

Drum Freebie Pak - Very impressive!
I liked this free midi software so much that I just had to buy more from you. I bought Ballads and Jazz Buddy. This is even better than Toontrack's (EZ Drummer 2) own software! I'd love to buy more from you.
Michael Parson-McNamara
Ballad MIDI Drum Loops
After installing the Ballad loops and being quite pleased that I have them available for my AD2, Groove Agent 4, BFD2, Session Drummer 3 and Studio Instruments (I use Cakewalk by BandLab), Abbey Road '60s AND SSD5 (the freebie), I started grabbing patterns and fills. It didn't take long and suddenly I had my drum track arranged quite nicely and I started laughing at how easy and quickly it went.
So being able to buy something that makes my workflow painless... nope it actually made it fun and saved me a lot of time. How can you beat (ooops drum pun) that!
Thanks to Russ and the Groove Monkee crew! I'll be checking out more loop packs while the coffee is perfect! LOL
Theodoros K.
Perfect midi packs

Perfect for that love song!
Did you write that love or longing song song? Then these midi loops are what you need!
David B.
Great beats and a great value
The Ballad pack has all the tools you'll need to slow it down and put your heart into the groove. Great value and always a great price. Thx Groove Monkee again.
Ed M.
Loving it
So far I am loving the packs I have purchased. And thankful to find some that are not all centered around rock or hip hop :) Country and Folk peeps use electronics too :) :):)

Hello,
I ordered quite a few drum loop collections from Groove Monkey and are very happy with the quality of the loops for use with the BFD3 software. The choices are diverse and really aid in my musical creative process.

Robert L.
GREAT DRUMS!!
Works superb with EZ Drummer 2! Love them!
John R.
Excellent
Realistic beats with fills and intros that aren’t needlessly complex. These loops are meant to support the rest of the live performance not dominate them.
Guy B.
Ballad mid drum grooves
As usual, Groove monkee has delivered a solid and intresting grooves library.
Thanks
Wesley H.
Great product!
Excellent product(s). Sound good, easy to use and well organized. For non-drummers, the loops really simplify the process of creating backing tracks!
Yongnuo Z.
Nice product
I purchased 3 packs: big easy,ballad , Jazz buddy. They are easy to use , compatible with most popular drum VSTs. Great sound in my project. But I found that Jazz buddy is a little bit limited in style choices, need to add more stuffs like basic brush sweep for cool jazz ballad, more variation for medium swing.
Joe M.
GM Drum Midi Files

I'm no Drummer
I used 2 sets of grooves in first 2 days. I can program drums which groove but why bother. This is way better.
Kyle W.
Great midi loops!
These are the best commercial midi loops I’ve used ever! Great variety and human-ness in all of the loops. I love and use the Jazz loops in my studio work! Bravo
Wayne S.
Very Usable Beats
