Hi Im new here, I have never posted in a forum, so I dont even know if im doing this correctly. Im having a lot of fun with SD3, but I find it very limiting to my writing style. I play Death metal, what you might call “old school”, but no…its Death metal. Kids are playing “new school” these days. Anyway, haha, I have library of the extreme I, II, III, Metal head, Drum beats, and Metal for midi packs. I cannot find beats under metal that in 3’s? I am no music theory person, so Im gonna take a guess it might be called 3/4? That chugging double bass that has the rhythm of a steam train? all I can find are 4/4 beats. where is there a bigger selection of more none robotic square beats? If you are familiar with death metal, im talking about beats like the double bass in Morbid Angel Ratures beginning? There is a 3/4 selection under the beat time signature above, but it changes the time of the beat to where there is an odd gap at the ends and no longer loops. any suggestions for good metal packs? I do not do “Djent” or any new fancy tech stuff. I cant even find that super basic dave lombardo break down beat with 1/2 time kick/snare and x2 ride??
Hey all!
I’m bumping this since I have a similar question.
I purchased SD3 + the Metal Machinery SDX but don’t have many slow 3/4 grooves for metal.
What other packs do you recommend for this? I guess I could manually punch something in, but having a library of grooves to choose from is hassle-free and the reason why I got SD in the first place…

In the Grooves tab, enable Show Webshop MIDI, and you can preview all MIDI that Toontrack has released!

Thank you! I don’t think I was aware of this button!
I’m still unable to find simple yet strong/heavy grooves. I guess I’d have to make one from scratch…
Does anything of this sort exist in the libraries? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB1iKWUNcnc
Did you try entering something into Tap-to-find to see what it comes up with?

Bought EZD bundle today to save time drum programming. Only found one 3/4 metal groove 🙁
“That chugging double bass that has the rhythm of a steam train?”
I’d say you’re talking about 12/8 here – although you could also describe it as 4/4 with a triplet feel. Try searching for midi either of those in Toontrack’s midi grooves (you can browse and audition them all for free via SD3 (or EX drummer presumably) if you’re online.
