The XLN Addictive Drums 2: Modern Heavy ADPak is a virtual drum instrument plugin, designed to be the only drum plugin for metal and heavy genres you will ever need. Perfect for producers needing precise, powerful, mix-ready drum tracks. Built around a TAMA Star kit recorded at Sweden’s Studio Gröndahl with producer David Castillo, it focuses on responsive feel, solid room tone and dependable punch. Choose a centred single kick or true-stereo left/right double kicks. Addictive Drums 2’s Alternating kick mode renders rapid patterns as natural “every-other-hit” sequences, so you keep your existing MIDI while gaining realism and width. The result is weighty, controllable hits that stay consistent in dense guitars and fast arrangements.
The snare choice included is comprehensive. Addictive Drums 2 Modern Heavy comes with a 50th Anniversary 14×6.5 TAMA Mastercraft Bell Brass captured in three tunings, a 14×3.5 Pearl Free Floating Brass for articulate blast beats, a 15×8 TAMA Star Reserve when you need low-end authority, and a 14×6.5 Ludwig Black Beauty recorded open for characterful ring. Add Paiste 2002 and 602 Modern Essentials cymbals in B20 bronze for crisp stick definition and musical wash, plus a distinctive flanger stack with a proven studio pedigree. Together, these elements give metal and heavy projects the cut, clarity and control required to move from idea to finished mix quickly.
