XLN is great, and metal is their specialty

by Lance Lindley from Japan
January 7, 2012
Music Background: Overzealous hobbyist
My love for all things Addictive Drums borders on ridiculous. I feel about this software the way guitarists feel about their favorite axe. I'm an XLN fanboy, I would actually wear hats and shirts wit... read more [+]h their logo on it. Every one of the AD products, from the base set to the ADPacks to the individual kit pieces are incredibly detailed and real sounding. I have bought every product these guys have released except for a couple of the midi collections in styles I know I will never work in. Well, XLN being from Scandinavia, metal is really these guys' forte. Unlike the other companies that basically seem to thin out the kick and turn up the volume on a rock kit and call it metal, XLN really knows what goes into a metal kit, from the pieces to the recording to the FX. Not only does the basic kit sound good on its own, the tons of presets that come with this ADPack feature about every style of metal kit you could possibly want, and the included midi files, played by Arch Enemy's Daniel Erlandsson, will inspire you to keep cranking out tracks just so you can use the drums. If you're even looking at this product, it means you probably should buy it. I'm 100% satisfied -- no, make that thrilled -- with this ADPack and AD in general. close [-]

I like the heavy sound of the kits available in this adpak. The ONLY thing I don't like about it, or maybe it's a function of AD, is that you can't mix pieces from the metal pack with the standard ki... read more [+]ts. close [-]

Great for all kinds of modern metal

by David McCabe from Oxford, UK
May 6, 2012
Music Background:
It's a great drumkit for modern metal - apart from the snare drums. The kick sound is punchy and hardly needs the triggers, and the toms are appropriately dry, but the snare is weak and subdued. Accor... read more [+]dingly all the presets have poor snare sounds and you would be much better served fitting one of the standard snares into your kit. Apart from that, if you're doing modern metal - progressive, gothic, symphonic, melodic, death, whatever - you want this. close [-]

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
