- A year in the making but it's finally here. One of the most versatile, pre-processed and mix-ready drum libraries out there. I'm so excited that it's finally released.

This has been an absolute game-changer for my writing and demoing. Finally the drum sounds that I want to hear in an extremely versatile instrument.
I genuinely hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do!

Thanks for the positive feedback. Can't wait to hear what you guys do with these drums. Please send me your demos and mixes!
where should we send them dude? would love for you to hear what I've made with your dope drums!
My favourite part about Josh dropping something like this are the riffs he showcases 🔥🔥🔥
@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial lol, lets see you write better bro, his riffs are amazing.
The riff at 0:20 finished with the pinch is tasty as hell.
Josh Midltone, the name already kicks ass😂
Let's be real, we've all been waiting for that word play to be used
@@monkeyaskswhy true that - that´s been flying around patreon, twitch, etc. for quite some time now - super cool, he actually used it. But then again, why would you not go for it if your lastname is that close to the obvious word play :D
@@valentinzwick5408he used to do guitar lessons under that name years ago
Do I need it ? No as I am useless in mixing and programming drums.
Do I buy it ? Hell YESSSS !!!! Just to support musician like Josh 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks! If you're useless at mixing and writing drums then this is ideal. Tons of pre-mixed presets and there's a MIDI grooves library included too!
1:52 min. damn that "5 Minutes Alone" sound!
Absolutly
Sickkkkkkk finally. Sounding great! 🎉
HOLY SHIT finally what i have been waiting for, thnx for this awesome tool :)
Holy shit…this sounds insane
Josh thanks for making this! Appreciate your hard work and plan on buying it. Thank you for making it affordable and simple so I can focus on writing instead of processing!
Thanks! Hope you have a lot of fun with it
THIS IS DA BEST DRUM VSTI IVE EVER CAME ACROSS ,THANK YOU VERY MUCH MDL TONE N DA TEAM....I JUST WISH THERE WAS DRUMAGOG VERSION OF DA SAPMLES AS WELL JUST LIKE DA TCI FILES...
This is an instant buy Josh! It sounds gorgeous and super balanced. Not easy considering the endless product offer in the drum library universe market actually. Would really love to see the insights of the mixing processes for the demo song on this video. That intro sounds killer. Hope you can share this. Keep up the good work dude!
Awesome Stuff, thx Josh
I hope everyone's enjoying these drum sounds!! Please drop this channel a follow too as there will be a lot of content going up here as well
4 year URM alum checking in. You nailed this (no pun intended) and I'm buying. This will be my go to in my template
Watched all the videos and listened to the audio samples, just bought it 🤘 , every product you put out is incredible!
Sounds incredible, the customisation and transient control looks great
Sounds insane Josh! Will be purchasing asap. Stoked to get making some music with this drum library.
Sick product! I'm glad I waited for this!
Thanks so much. Hope you get a ton of satisfaction from it
Really loving these drums! Thanks Josh
These drums sound massive! I'll definitely be investing! the cymbals, toms kick and snares sound great. Awesome features too!❤🤘🏽
Thank you Josh, just ordered this. Now part of my library with your STL Tonehub packs and Kemper packs.
Oh my god, holy shit this sounds so good! The snare is the best, those cannon toms and cymbals are a breeze!
Was so close to already getting a drum pack until you mentioned on the AJFA episode this was coming, so glad I waited, this is such serendipitous timing!
Sounds awesome and I can’t wait to check this out. Good drum tones straight out of the box is exactly what I’m looking for as a creator.
Sounds great!
This sounds fucking awesome. I have always been a fan of your records... this is great. Also, that "My Own Summer" spot... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I was excited to hear you announce this a few videos back!
I'm in a spot right now so can't buy it unfortunately, but I've got it bookmarked for the day that I can. Great work!
Thanks to people like Josh, we are able to live in the very best time in history for the aspiring (metal) musician. Thank you for all you do, man. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words! Really appreciate it
Knowing how Josh is with guitar tone you know this has to sound killer. 🤘
Bought it and love it!
Sounds great out of the box.
You've hit the nail on the head!
Thank you! I honestly am so stoked with my demoing and writing more than ever
This sounds really good. Great job! Im buying asap
Hope you enjoy!
I’m glad I listened when you said to hold off on your next drum library purchase and you were right. This sounds AMAZING
FARG Man!!! The sound is damn insane!!! As soon as the bank account allows it will be mine!!!!
Sounds brutal, really, really brutal. We need to try it
Holy crap these are absolute gold!
Hellyeah josh🤘🏼. Finally a drum pluggin that I’m interested in. Thank you so much🤘🏼
Enjoy!
Bought this already, love the sound, absolutely massive. Wish there were more options with the cymbals, but the rest of the kit sounds amazing with plenty of variety, mix ready drums for sure, sounds straight out of a syclosis record!
Hey man, would you know if it will work with Reaper or is it Kontakt Exclusive? is through Kontact just for licensing? I really don't want to use anything other than Reaper as this is the only DAW I record other VST shit on.
Yeah that’ll work. Goto the Insert top menu, choose “Virtual instrument on new track”, choose Kontakt, choose No when Reaper offers to create a bunch of extra tracks, then load the drum library.
@@ScottChesworth Cheers for the advice Scott. I bought the Plugin last night and fired it all up through Kontakt, The issue I had was Kontakt 7 seemed to keep doubling up the single hit on my Yamaha DTX through Reaper on Midi even after remapping and trying to tinker with all the settings. I found a setting which monitors the exact note hit and even the release of kickdrum was registering as a note. I finally found that I was meant to use Kontakt itself and not version 7. Fucked if I know what happened there but it works now
@@justinsuitor1907 yo dude hopefully you got it working fully now! if you managed to link up kontact 7 into reaper ( im using reaper too) and do all the installation instructions sent on the email once you buy the drums, it should work pretty smoothly, so far i havent had any issues with it, honestly I love the drums, nice and simple and sound amazing, so many cool features.
Cheers Josh, looking forward to picking this up. Shredding in Reading 🤘
Already playing the JM-II while using the JM Tonality suite, been contemplating Bogren’s Krimh drums.. but now this comes out?? Sounds so good too. I don’t know maybe I need both! I just wish neither used Kontakt but it seems worth it.
LETS GO!!! Buying this 100%
Ohh so wild! Usually, every drum kit plugin has a weak point for me! It may be snare sound or toms or artificial cymbals or the sound of low power kick!!! At first look, this drum kit is very powerful and versatile! The large number of toms and their warm sound and strong snare and extreme kick were among the things that attracted me at first sight🤘
More power to you Josh! 🤘🏻
Not gonna lie, this is perfect timing
Was actually looking for a new midi drum plugin
This is a godsend
Awesome!
Let’s goooooooo!!!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👹👹👹👹👹
This looks great! Any details on the mapping section and velocity layers?
this sounds absolutely insane
Came for the awesome drum sound, stayed for the riffs 🔥🔥.Riffs for the next Sylosis record maybe ??? 🤔🥹🤤
Nice. I'm sure I heard Pantera and Deftones fills in there too. Maybe Easter eggs? 🤙🏻
5 minutes alone and my own summer
@@dots93 yep!
I’ve never jumped so quickly at a drum library…
Dude I’ve been waiting for someone to fill the deathier part of the affordable drum sampler market well - and you guys did just that!!
Stoked to try this pit
Thanks so much! I think so too!
amazing. can't wait to buy it. I am assuming it has drop in grooves ready to go?
It does have a bunch of grooves included. More MIDI packs are on their way too!
Really sick!
Here we go!!!
holy shit dude. I'm getting master of puppets vibes from this. these sound insanely good.
🎸🎸🎸COOL☠️☠️☠️
Powerful work 🔥🤘
sounds really good!
Excellent stuff man! Next on the purchase list! \m/
Sounds good
Damn!!! Sounds awesome!!
uhh.. YES PLEASE
I really love this concept. I've been running into the same problem of not being able to find the sounds that I want and some other little options that I used on my kit. I need to find a company to talk to I guess lol. I've got ideas.....dammit 😂
Sounding sick
Sneap vibes. Right up my alley.
this +1
Congrats Josh
Goddamn man... I don't need ANOTHER drum library but shit this sounds good.
yes. you. do. 😎
So freaking good!!!
fuck yeah ima cop this! been writing to drum tracks but this will help so much with workflow. Josh tha 🐐
Hell yes! I will make a video soon on how I have my demo writing templates set up. At the moment, my go-to is the 'deathy kit' preset.
6:18 Please don't waste that riff and do something with it in the future. It's sounding incredible!
Reminds me alot of Territory by Sepultura
@@corrupted_realm Who hasn't listened to Sepultura? I'm 40 years old, been listening to them for at least 28 years, This part here reminded me of Territory immediately. Not saying he's ripping it off but it's a good little vibe there and its more the chuggy riffs on the open string that reminds me at around 6:24 ish
@@corrupted_realm Ahhh sweet as, thanks for clearing it up. I've been tinkering around with the plugin today, finally got it to work properly, so much potential for some killer content from everyone on this.
Sounds Great! 🔥
Oh, I’m so into buying them!!
Awesome, we your faithful fans count with us to get it….
From 1:58-2:07...I heard that 13 Steps to Nowhere, lol. TGSTK can't hide from me.
Can't believe i missed that! Also threw in the "5 minutes alone" beat from the opening.
Just purchased last night. Right away they sound killer. Can it be installed on my laptop and pc?
Wow. Must have.
That snare sound.. Holy sh!t..
Well TBH I was always hoping for a Toontrack library from Josh, because although I love EZd3 & SSD3 for writing, soundwise none of the TT libraries satisfied me 100%. This Kontakt instrument matches the sound in my head when I think of Metal drums. So I guess I will just use EZd3 to program drums and route its MIDI out to MDL Drums. :-)
oh, it sounds so good, not kidding.
Sullivan King could eat these drums up 🖤
Are you playing your Kemper in this demo video? Thanks
I bought them and absolutely love them. They literally fit perfectly in the 3 existing sessions i had without any extra work. Any recommendations on midi velocities for snare?
Awesome! Absolutely love to hear it. Every snare’s different and has a different characteristic or processing. There are usually 6-7 layers. Either 2-3 layers of rim-shots from 100 up. Just have a play around with the velocity. You definitely wont struggle to make very realistic snare rolls with all the articulations 👊🏻
@@JoshMiddletonOfficial awesome man, appreciate the reply!
SICK! 🤘
Take my money !
any chance of loads of midi groove packs to come? would be happy to buy them.
There are MIDI grooves included with this. But more MIDI packs to come of course
I stared watching this video and instantly thought here is another musician pushing another plugin drum lib... I almost clicked away. But the features listed really seem well thought out, especially the ability to load one shots + the secondary kick. I wish more plugins added more flexibility like this.
Thanks Rohan. Appreciate it. I am a loooong time user of drum libraries. As a consumer/user first, I’ve thought about all the frustrations I’ve had in the past to make what I think is a really user friendly and versatile library
Yesssssss🎉🎉🎉

Sounds awesome Josh! Though I love the type of music this library seems to mainly be going for (sylosis, Maschine head, pantera, Testament), the music that i write is rather on the Architects, Spiritbox sie of things. Any kit or presets in your library you can recommend for that stuff? Btw. The naming is awesome too
This kit has everything covered. Load up the ‘modern metalcore kit’ and you will be very happy! Keep checking back on the channel for other demos and styles. There are presets based on Green Day, Deftones, Jimmy Eat World, BMTH. Check the website and listen to all the examples on the audio player. I have a lot more demos that aren’t on the site to come soon as well! Follow my instagram too as there will be posting across platforms
@@JoshMiddletonOfficial Did that this morning - there´s also some that remind of of sleep token I guess. Overall what I can say is this library sounds very, very tight which I love. And I saw what you did there with the 90´s arena metal kit and your twist on through the never ;-) - looking much forward to further demos, reviews and deep dives. I´d be interested in how much a preset could be a starting point and then say swop the snare. Great work man, and I gotta say - as much as I love routing out my GGD Drums and have full controll over EQ, Compression, etc. to tweak it to the moon and back, it eats up quite some processing in my writing/tracking template
can you please give us information on the guitar rig in the video? like the sound around 6:15ish. your the man for this sound, no more endless tweaking!
I'll do a video soon walking through the mix on that one. It's my STL plugin 5150
Cant buy if i dont know if it works with my e-kit, Did that mistake with ggd
*i love ezdrummer*
Sounds so sick! Gonna buy this one! Is the guitar Tone your plugin?
Yeah it’s my STL plugin on all these
Finding that the EZD midi mapping preset does not function well with toontrack midi files.
Do I need this? Probably not, but got it anyway and after a quick half hour throwing together some riffs I think this one might be my go to for demos and writing now because it just sounds great without having to dick about for hours.
Hey Josh, should the kicks -> one shot samples be included in the download to import? I can't find them when trawling through the Kontakt file tree, or if I search ".wav" on my Mac. Complete Kontakt noob here. I can see folders "Instruments, MIDI files, Samples, Snapshots" as my optional folders but nothing like the list of folders you have. Incredible depth of sounds in this pack, already using in my demos otherwise!
Sick.
That riff at 2:40. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkk
Awsome
Before purchase, Is there any drum maps included? Its so annoying buying a drum vst and not have any maps for my roland kit
Sounds soooo good! Godamn, I don't need this, I don't need this....
