03 / AFRO HOUSE PRODUCTION GUIDE
HOW TO MAKE AFRO HOUSE DRUMS.
Afro House commonly pairs a steady four-on-the-floor kick with interlocking syncopated percussion. Congas, shakers, rimshots and toms give the groove motion, while space between hits keeps it musical.
Start with a kick on all four beats at around 115–125 BPM. Place a clap or rim accent on beats two and four, then add syncopated conga notes between the main beats. Layer a softer shaker pattern for forward movement. Vary velocity and timing subtly instead of making every hit identical.
Try the Deep preset for understated percussion, Organic for more conga interplay, Driving for busier hi-hats, or Minimal when you want space for vocals and bass.
After exporting, use your own drum samples, adjust drum mapping if your plugin differs from General MIDI, and refine the arrangement. This generator creates rhythmic MIDI only; the synthetic preview is not a downloadable sample pack.
PRODUCER WORKFLOW
What is inside the MIDI?
One editable MIDI file with separate instrument tracks for:
- Kick and clap
- Closed and open hi-hat
- Low and high conga
- Shaker and rimshot
- Low tom
The export preserves tempo, step timing, swing, programmed velocities and humanisation.
COMMON QUESTIONS
AFRO HOUSE MIDI FAQ.
Is the Afro House drum generator really free?
Yes. You can generate, edit, preview and download drum MIDI without creating an account. Everything runs locally in a modern browser.
Will the MIDI work with FL Studio, Ableton Live or Logic Pro?
Yes. Download the standard MIDI file, import it into your DAW and assign a drum rack or sampler. The notes use General MIDI drum mapping; you may need to move notes if your drum plugin uses a different layout.
What BPM is Afro House?
Many Afro House tracks sit roughly around 110–125 BPM, but tempo depends on the particular sound. This tool starts at 120 BPM and lets you select 90–145 BPM.
Can I use the generated MIDI in commercial music?
Yes. You can use and edit these generated drum patterns in your own personal and commercial music. Generated patterns are non-exclusive and are not a claim of ownership over common rhythms. Do not redistribute the standalone generator code or sell unchanged exported MIDI as a sample product. Your chosen drum samples may have separate licence terms.
Does the free ODESA sample pack include Afro House samples?
Free Sample Pack Vol. 1 contains house, pop house and UK garage material, not a dedicated Afro House collection. Some sounds may suit your production, but you should audition them for yourself.
