NWOBHM Essentials is a drum MIDI pack for the New Wave of British Heavy Metal — the late-’70s and early-’80s British sound of galloping beats, driving 4-on-the-floor patterns and thunderous tom work.
Over 130 beats and fills across thirteen basic grooves, all played live. 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 97–210 bpm.

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 86,661 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 97–210 bpm.
