J Dilla Drum Loops (Unofficial MIDI Drum Pack)
Check out our free, unofficial J Dilla drum loop pack, MIDI drum loops inspired by the legendary JD. Known for his off-kilter, soulful approach to drum patterns, these unique MIDI files/loops that capture the essence of J Dilla's style. This unofficial loop pack encapsulates the feel that made Dilla's beats so iconic.
Also check out our app, Kit Maker, which lets you drag and drop your drum sample packs (or Maschine Expansions) and instantly creates tons of organized drum kits for you!
You can make MPC drum kits, Ableton drum kits and many other formats. Kit Maker is not required to download our MIDI loops.
The MIDI loops are best when using a tempo of around 85-95 BPM, a sweet spot for that laid-back vibe Dilla was famous for. Whether you're a seasoned producer or just starting out, these loops are a useful resource to add some Dilla-inspired magic to your beats. Download them, tweak them and make your own head-nodding classic.
These are not audio drum loops, but MIDI drum loops.
The MIDI files can be imported into any DAW that accepts MIDI data (consult your manual if you are unsure).
