Viking / Folk Metal drums

[Blodhemn]

Any chance of you guys doing some Viking / Folk Metal drums for use with Superior Drummer 2.

Stuff like Moonsorrow, Korpklaani, Bathory, Tyr, Finntroll, and More Moonsorrow. You can never have enough Moonsorrow m/ ;)>

I have got the Library of the Extreme midi packs, but they don’t really fit the stuff i’m writing. EPIC Drums are what I need, And as i’m without a drummer, Superior Drummer II is priceless, it does as I ask, and does not put random fills all over the place and it doesn’t drink all my beer. Its a win win for me 🙂

So if you guys Do make a Viking / folk metal midi pack & EZX I would DEFINATELY purchase it.

Fingers crossed x m/

Is this the NBT because lately I keep coming across references to it? Listened to a bit of it on YouTube, Finntroll was a standout, and am intrigued by most of it. The promotional videos were quite entertaining and the well recorded clips from live performances stood up very well. Seems like you could combine some edited files from the Rock and Extreme MIDI packs for the performances; maybe use Jamstix to help make them more your own and do some appropriate processing.

Hey there Optofonik, cheers for the reply.

Not sure if its the NBT, I have been listening to Viking Metal since about 1986 when Bathory started doing it. It has definitely got a lot more popular over the last few years though. Along with Folk Metal. Ill check out the Rock Midi packs see what they offer, but would really LOVE to see TOONTRACK do a dedicated set for Viking / Folk metal 🙂

I guess MIDI patterns is what I am after, as the drum sounds I have already are awesome, and I plan on buying the Metal Machine & Metalheads addons soon so got the drum sounds covered pretty much, just need better patterns more suited to the VIKING METAL.

I don’t suppose there are any drum tabs available online. If, however, there are you could use http://2112design.com/ to convert them to MIDI files. It would be up to you to humanize them although Jamstix might be able to help in that regard.
