Here is a list and links to the best free midi drum loops on the internet (from external websites) that I have found – so far. This free content comes and goes and sometimes disappears altogether – so it’s best to snag it whilst you still can.

There’s a few commercial ones further down the page too.

If you are looking for free midi drum loops, midi drum patterns, midi drum beats or midi drums then the links below will be valuable to you.

Please consider supporting the developers and website owners that give this free stuff away with purchases, after all they have bills and have to eat too! If you can’t afford to right now, they would still appreciate you emailing them and say “thank you” or signing up to their mailing lists.

In return, they will keep you “in the loop” with their new products.

Try Reason:

If you are new to music production do have a look at Reason by Propellerhead software. There is tons of content (called Refills) for Reason and most of it is fantastic and life changing – you can trial it here:
