Anyone recommend any good drum loop packages. Thrash, Hardcore and Punk loops preferable, Metalcore and Grindcore ones would probably have some useful loops as well. Cheers.
FLStudio + EZDrummer + Drumkit From Hell = badass metal drums.
I usually use EZDrummer as a plugin on the mixer in FL Studio and make a midi in track in the sequencer. EZDrummer comes with a nice selection of pre-made drum loops but I find its better to drag those midi patterns into the sequencer to make any necessary changes. I play bass in a progressive/thrash/death metal band with an invisible drummer and this is generally how I go about it.
Or if you're feeling fancy you could get Superior Drummer 2.0 but its so massive I still havent even begun to play with it yet.
