What artists are saying
-
“I love Loudstakk MIDI. Ron D has a way of capturing the essence of Metal grooves, that elusive Metal feel and groove that just can't be replicated by hand programming MIDI. Loudstakk helps keep me inspired and creative and focused on the song itself.”

“Loudstakk MIDI Grooves are great for inspiration and for jump starting ideas. The thing I find them most useful for though, is breaking out of old patterns by testing all kinds of different beats and rhythms against the same idea to find near infinite potential in every riff.”

“Loudstakk MIDI Grooves provide the right amount of dynamics to make them sound more natural. Most other packs I've tried leave very small amount of dynamics. While on the road, I like to load these MIDI Grooves into my session knowing they will satisfy my taste when composing.”

“I purchased my first Loudstakk MIDI Groove pack and immediately spent the next couple of days almost effortlessly writing nearly 30 minutes worth of music. It feels like writing with a real drummer… I guess because the grooves are all played by a real drummer! Highly recommended for my fellow songwriters, Loudstakk products are inspiring!”

“Loudstakk MIDI Grooves are an essential part of my songwriting process. Just drag and drop into your favorite DAW or standalone player, and you're off to the races. Real, modern drum sounds with that classic, old-school feel at your fingertips.”

“Loudstakk MIDI Grooves have been an essential part in my recent songwriting and pre-production for Fury of Five. Although being the drummer, sometimes I don't have time to set up all my recording gear to track a 45 second drum loop for a guitar riff and Loudstakk has been crucial in delivering the right kinds of drum parts for Fury's riffs.”

“Loudstakk MIDI Grooves are a great tool. Been using them for 6 months or so. These have become my go-to for getting natural sounding grooves and beats for capturing ideas and writing music. Great dynamics and just has the right overall feel. Would recommend these to anyone who writes music in Metal/Rock/Punk.”

The Interview
Behind the Hardcore Grooves
Ron D. Rock
Founder of Loudstakk · Drummer
01What is your approach to Hardcore drumming?
"Hardcore drumming is packed with subtle nuances—like those perfectly placed China cymbal accents or the intentional drag just behind the beat that gives Hardcore its signature violent groove. It’s a deceptively difficult genre to play well. You're not just keeping time—you’re conducting the chaos.
There’s a certain intensity and timing that separates a set that feels like a riot from one where the crowd stands still in a polite horseshoe. Your playing is either the spark that ignites movement—or the reason nothing moves at all."
02Which drummers inspired you?
"Yuval Dekel from Irate, Roy Bates—the original Cold As Life drummer—Dennis Merrick of Earth Crisis, Arttu from Cutdown, Timo Erkkilä from St.Hood... I could go on and list countless others, but each of these drummers brought something unique to the table.
Their playing has left a real mark on me. Whether it's groove, aggression, timing, or feel—these drummers shaped how I understand and approach Hardcore. I wouldn’t play or write the way I do without their creative influence."
03How did the idea for a MIDI Groove pack come around?
"When it comes to Hardcore drumming, I’ll admit—I’m probably the pickiest. If it doesn’t feel exactly right, it just doesn’t do anything for me. So it made total sense to get behind the kit and play the parts the way I naturally would, knowing they’d be used in future projects. It wasn’t about overthinking—it was about capturing the feel I know works."
04Who should use MIDI Groove packs?
"These grooves are made with songwriting in mind—raw, direct, and built to get the ideas out fast. No endless programming or over-polishing—just real, usable parts you can drop in and start shaping riffs around. Whether you're writing for your band, tracking pre-pro, or just slamming out ideas after work, these beats are here to keep the energy moving.
They’re not meant to replace your drummer—but they hit a hell of a lot harder than a click. Way more fun to riff over, and way more in the zone with what Hardcore calls for: urgency, attitude, and feel."
