The Lowdown:
Addictive Drums is built on three major, and equally important, building blocks...
Drum Samples: The “raw” drum/cymbal sounds, recorded with a multi-mic setup
Production Tools: Mixing, insert effects, reverbs, the know-how of a sound technician / producer
Beats & Fills: The grooves, beats and fills of a good dummer!
Addictive Drums offers all this, in ONE easy-to-use plugin, compatible with all the major host software packages!
Addictive Drums ships with 3 complete kits, and lots of extra drums and cymbals. The samples include every nuance from the softest to the hardest hits, many stroke variations (hi-hat has 12 variations, snare has 6 for example) Alternating samples through-out bring unparalleled realism.
All sampled drum/cymbal sounds are recorded with a multi channel mic setup, just as you would record a real drum kit.
