Thrash Metal MIDI pack (€25) is a collection of MIDI grooves and fills that takes a head-first plunge into the deep realms of thrash metal music from the late '80s through to today.

Get the classic rampant two-beats and all the pummeling mid-tempo grooves to go with them, but at the same time a creative take on intros, tom grooves and fills. Force, ingenuity and sheer brutality – this collection comes up short on none.
