What the plugin looks like

The Meatgrinder plugin window: Meatgrinder logo and kit description, Kit Variant, Preset and MIDI Map drop-downs, the big GRIND macro knob, Tune knob for kick, snare and toms, Grooves, Play, Stop and Loop buttons, Credits and Folder buttons, and a mixer with Kick, Snare, Toms, Cymbals, Room and Master faders

What it does

Brutal death metal drums made for blast beats. A dry, clicky, very tight kick and snare with short decay, so 250 BPM stays readable instead of turning into soup [CHECK BY EAR OR CUT THE 250 BPM LINE]. Turn GRIND for hard saturation and upper-mid presence. That's the grinder. No trigger setup, no transient shaping, no ten-plugin snare chain. Load it, program the blasts, done. Brutal death, grind, slam-adjacent, anything fast and ugly. A mixer and Tune knob are there if you need them.

Features

  • GRIND knob: hard saturation and presence.
  • Kit variants Natural and Raw [CONFIRM VARIANT NAMES], plus 5 presets (Default, Raw / dry, Tight, Roomy, Big and loud).
  • Tune knob (kick/snare/toms ±3 semitones) and six faders: Kick, Snare, Toms, Cymbals, Room, Master.
  • MIDI map menu: GM, merge 35>36 and 40>38, pedal hat plays closed, toms flipped for pad layouts.
  • VST3 + standalone for Windows. Groove player for your own MIDI files. Credits inside the plugin.

A version of Meatgrinder is one of the 4 kits inside the free practice plugin, Backing Track Plus.
