What it is
ADpak: Metal is a drum sound expansion for XLN Audio's Addictive Drums 2, built specifically for heavy, aggressive genres. It was produced by Ross Robinson, the producer behind records from Korn and Slipknot, using drum components sourced from Ludwig, Gretsch, Zildjian, and Sabian. The pack ships with 31 presets crafted by metal producers including Roberto Laghi and Bjorn Gelotte of In Flames, spanning heavy metal, death metal, and speed metal tones.
Who it's for
Producers and mix engineers working on metal and hardcore tracks who want a drum foundation built by people who have actually recorded those genres, rather than a generic rock kit stretched to fit. It suits anyone tracking double-bass-heavy material in Addictive Drums 2 and looking for presets they can drop in and tweak instead of building tones from scratch.
Key features
- Drum components sourced from Ludwig, Gretsch, Zildjian, and Sabian for a natural but hard-hitting foundation

- 31 presets built by metal producers Roberto Laghi and Bjorn Gelotte (In Flames), covering heavy, death, and speed metal styles
