#3: Unison Essential MIDI Drum Kits
Drums are the rhythmic element of your track, but sometimes you can’t find intriguing patterns that inspire you as a music producer…
Well, that’s where The Unison Essential MIDI Drum Kits come in!
Unison MIDI Drum Packs are the best way for you to instantly create perfect drum patterns and make your tracks addictive!
It’s not only helpful for building foundations, but for discovering associated chord progressions as well.
With this free MIDI pack, finding a jump-off point has truly never been easier; whether you produce trap drum loops or work in hip-hop, it’s key.
Drum and percussive elements are key when it comes to spicing up an existing drum part, adding variation, or making it your very own.
And the drum kits featured in this free MIDI pack are top of the line and professionally crafted to impress even the pickiest of music producers and free sample pack critics.
NOTE: Remember, drums determine the genre of your track (like hip-hop or future house music); chords and melodies are just along for the ride.
Also, rolls do not need to remain exclusive to hi-hats and claps/snares… creating them from a low-end kick or super-short 808 is where they truly shine.
When re-triggering a bass element repeatedly at a high speed, it gets triggered faster than the Speaker Cone can return to its resting position.
This creates an intriguing ‘thump’ like no other.
I refer to them as ‘gunshots’ that hit you right in the chest.
They are enhanced only when playing back through a system with a subwoofer, or on a car stereo.
This Pack Includes:
- Kick MIDI Lines (5x)
- Closed Hat MIDI Lines (5x)
- Open Hat MIDI Lines (5x)

2 Important Things To Remember
Before we proceed, there are 2 very important things to remember, especially for hip-hop producers
#1. When pitching any sample (especially of the hi-hat variety), don’t veer too far away from the original pitch. Unwanted artifacts are bound to occur.
#2. As you pitch the hat up, the duration of your sample becomes shorter; as you pitch the hat down, it will be longer.
That is unless you’re using a ‘Stretch’ Algorithm, which compensates for alterations in sample length/time when the pitch changes.
I recommend pitching hat samples up/down a MAX of 6-7 semitones.
