Time signatures: 4/4, 6/8, 12/8, 7/8, 5/4 and 6/4
Tempo is stored in quarter notes per minute, including the 6/8, 12/8 and 7/8 files
Programmed, not performed: every hit was written in code
Timing is on the grid; the dynamics come from written velocities

These are not recordings of a drummer.

Import and channels

Bring the files into your DAW and choose your own drum instrument. MIDI makes no sound by itself.

Drums on channel 10 in every file.
The main version uses General MIDI note numbers. Load it into a GM-mapped drum instrument, or use one of the two alternate maps.
No file sends a program change.
Standard MIDI Files, format 1, 960 PPQ.

Not tested with any specific DAW or plugin.

General MIDI is the main version, with drums on channel 10.

The Superior Drummer 3 / EZdrummer default map version moves the left kick, MIDI 35 (B1), to MIDI 36 (C2). Nothing else is changed.

The GetGood Drums style version moves the left kick to MIDI 36 (C2) and the crash-ride, MIDI 59 (B3), to the ride, MIDI 51 (D#3). GGD layouts differ between libraries, so check yours.

The two alternate maps have not been tested in those plugins.
