Sorry to impose upon u pulsarians for help again.
But I am not a drummer.
So if you have any killer jazz drum fills/patterns in midi file form that I can gain inspiration from. I need really good drum solo fills urgently.
Please please could you send them to my mail remix_me@yahoo.com

Thank you very much in advance

Not sure if they are jazz based but you could try here:

Methinks midi jazz drums are a very steep uphill battle. Although, an option if you like would be to record an Ed Blackwell solo or something and have a squizz at it (visually) for placement of midi notes. Sampled rattly old snares, brushes, cymbals are generally hard to get going in a realistic jazzy kind of way, I find, but I'd love to hear if people have managed it. Otherwise, Roy Haynes, Billy Higgins, Art Blakey, Max Roach are also good inspiration

Thank you
This has really helped, I think I should be able to do a reasonable realistic drum solo now!

Happy Music Making
