Melodeath Essentials is a drum MIDI pack for ’90s Swedish melodic death metal — the Gothenburg sound, balancing aggression and melody; the field itself namechecks early In Flames, At The Gates and Dark Tranquillity as the spirit it chases.
Over 170 beats, over 20 fills and sixteen basic grooves, all played live — fast double kicks, tasteful blast beats and mid-tempo sections. Load them into any DAW or MIDI-capable software, point them at a drum instrument you already own, and the performances play through your sounds. The pack uses General MIDI mapping, and the beats range around 135–195 bpm.
At a Glance
- Over 170 beats a floor rather than an exact count — the field states it as “over”
- Over 20 unique fills stated the same way, as a separate figure
- 16 basic grooves stated as sixteen and named as sixteen on this page
- 135–195 bpm the stated span, which the field writes as “around”
- General MIDI mapping no proprietary drum map to install; no specific drum plug-in is named
- MIDI, not audio no drum sounds are included — you bring the instrument

03MIDI Is Not Audiobefore you buy▾
What the files holdPerformance data — which notes are played, when, and how hard. There is no audio and there are no drum sounds in the pack
What you needA DAW or any MIDI-capable software, plus a virtual instrument — a drum plug-in or a sampler — for the notes to make a sound
System requirementsNone are stated. The files are platform-independent and run on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems
FormatMIDI
The downloadOne ZIP archive of 142,719 bytes — the weight of performance data rather than of recorded audio
A MIDI pack is bought for its timing, not for its tone. These files carry the performance; the sound arrives from whichever drum instrument is already open in your session. The notes are mapped to General MIDI, and the beats range around 135–195 bpm.
