Toontrack on Tuesday released Songwriters Drumpack 3, a new collection of MIDI drum grooves for musicians.

[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]These MIDI grooves aren’t like the old hand programmed grooves of years ago. These are played by a real drummer in the studio and captured for use with ToonTrack’s Superior Drummer and other drum samplers.

Toontrack turned to Ricard “Huxflux” Nettermalm to play the drums for this drum pack. He was also the drummer for the original Songwriters Drumpack.

Songwriters Drumpack 3 includes over 500 individually played grooves that are categorized into different songs. The songs are sectioned into intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, fill sections and variations in each song, making it easy to build a song.

Songwriters Drumpack 3 costs $29 and is available for immediate download.
