All Them Beats Sample Library (MIDI / WAV / REX)
All Them Beats, is the definitive beat resource with 430 MIDI rhythm and beat files and over 1,000 acidized wav loops and rex files for today's producers and drum software aficionados.
This extensive beat library is expertly produced and organized in regional (African, Caribbean,) and stylistic (Blues, Rock) folders for easy access.
Plus, there is a “Greatest Breaks” folder with midi files of some of the most used drum breaks such as the Funky Drummer, The Amen Break and Walk This Way, among many others.
All of the MIDI files were recorded live with an electronic V-Drum kit, assigned to General MIDI files, and exported out to loops using representative samples of each style, making it accessible to users with or without drum libraries. And because each beat is assigned to a MIDI file and short text description, auditioning beats is simple and user-friendly.
All Them Beats also features a bonus selection of drum loops culled from PowerFX's award-winning samples. Users can choose real played acoustic beats and grooves in various styles like the original Motown Beat played by “Pistol” Allen, one of the Original Motown Drummers, or funk master drummer Jabo Starks, as well as country, blues, rock, world beats, and stylistic electronic and hip hop loops.
The versatile collection of samples and rhythms serves as an essential resource for musicians, producers, DJs, composers and engineers who own multi-sample drum libraries and drum software like EZ Drummer, Addictive Drums, BDF or Imperial Drums.
“Whether they create jingles, film scores, or commercial recordings, producers now have a definitive resource of drum beats to suit any situation,” said Bryant. “If you need a Zydeco Shuffle, a Polka, a Reggae One Drop, or the Mexican Hat Dance, it's all here.”

What it is:
An incredible varied collection of well played midi drumbeats from around the world for users of products like EZ Drummer, Addictive Drums, BFD, Guru, Session Drummer and other drum sample libraries and software. The same midi files are exported out as wav and rex files, making it easy to use in sequencers or audition files. Plus, the PowerFX archive beats in genres are a real asset with real acoustic played drums and expert drum programming.
What it is not:
There is no particular focus on a certain beat or style, so you do not get many variations on certain drumbeats or styles with intros, fills and endings.
