Deathlike Fusion MIDI

Product Description

Deathlike Fusion MIDI is a MIDI pack from Toontrack, performed by Sean Reinert. Drummer of Cynic, Æon Spoke and Death, and a pioneer of technical death metal. The pack includes hundreds of individually played grooves and fills suitable for technical death metal, progressive rock/metal and fusion.

Death metal is more than blast beats and artillery-like bass drums in rampant tempos. It's about subtle finesse, technicality and grace as well. Already back in the early 1990s, Sean Reinert's limitless playing introduced a sound that forged trudging brutality with a nuance reminiscent of a jazz or fusion drummer, a style where the drums were allowed to paint with all-new colors and much broader brushes than what was customary in death metal up until then.

This collection of grooves and fills is loosely based on Sean's discography and further draws from several decades of his experience as a drummer, musician and composer. Expect the subtlety of jazz and the technical finesse of fusion merged with the hard-hitting attack and brutal onslaught of metal, all seamlessly meshed to a coherent blend where only one thing is holy: groove. This is indeed death metal, but with a twist and some extra sophistication. In short, it's probably best described as a deathlike fusion.
