Kung Foo Grooves - MIDI Drum Grooves Inspired by Grohl

Kung Foo Grooves delivers 10 full-song MIDI drum performances inspired by the hardest-hitting  - and most dynamic - tracks in Dave Grohl’s catalog, whether playing himself or overseeing the production with Taylor Hawkins. Every groove is engineered for maximum impact, with punchy backbeats, explosive fills, dynamic builds, and the relentless energy Grohl is known for.

You've asked for them - and here they are. These powerful grooves give you instant, hard-rock attitude with the flexibility of fully editable MIDI.

Powerful. Punchy. Playable. This is Kung Foo Grooves.

Signature Grooves from Rock's Hardest-Hitting Moments

These grooves don’t just keep time… they knock down walls.

From “Walk” and “Make It Right,”- both driven by Taylor Hawkins’ unmistakable force and precision, to the focused, aggressive Foo Fighters foundations of “Monkey Wrench,” “My Hero,” and “Everlong,” this collection captures essential modern rock drumming at its best. 

You also get Grohl’s defining work with Nirvana — the foundational grooves of “In Bloom,” “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” and “Scentless Apprentice” — along with the punch and movement of “All Apologies.” And the inclusion of “No One Knows” brings in one of the standout drum performances from Grohl’s QOTSA era.

These are the beats that shaped alternative and modern rock for more than three decades — all mapped specifically for Drumatica drums (especially the Black Oyster) so you can drop them directly into your track with confidence, power, and precision.

Explosive Fills and Transitions

The kind of fills that launch into choruses with power, momentum, and personality. Tight when they need to be — wild when they should be.

Make These Songs Your Own

Each song includes multiple variations so you can build your own arrangement, extend sections, or take ideas in entirely new directions.

Built For Drumatica Kits

Dial in the punch of your Black Oyster Kit or future Drumatica instruments and watch these grooves come alive with force. They work seamlessly - every articulation, nuance and MIDI note mapped in our instruments is captured.
