I heard about AD from a friend and he was right. This is an incredible product. I had some issues installing it and Sweetwater (as well as XLN) was amazing at resolving it (as always). I have been buy... read more [+]ing from Sweetwater for years and they continue to impress me over and over again.May 22, 2012 Music Background: Professional musician The ability to control the parameters of the drums (tuning, room mic placement, drum selection,etc) is outstanding. Very easy to use and the sounds sit in the mix much better than my other software (which will remain nameless). Highly recommend! close [-] Superb, professional-sounding drum software.

First note: if you are doing modern metal, you owe it to yourself to get the Metal ADpak.

I can't vouch for the accuracy of the drum samples, not being a drummer, but I can vouch for the difference Addictive Drums makes to my tracks. I'm comparing with keyboard drums (actually the SRX drum expansion), and the difference is astounding, particularly once you start tuning the drumkit for your music. It's nice to be able to pitch the snare or dampen the kick, for example. The separate outputs are nice and intelligible for your mix engineer, too! Highly recommended. close [-] ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!?!

I was going to write a review the very first few days I used Addictive, but I've been SPEECHLESS!!!

Could I REALLY use my Roland drums to trigger this thing? My skepticism was squelched within mere minutes. AD is so simple and incredibly powerful that I just can't get over it. Endlessly editable and the drums "sit in the mix" beautifully! This is HANDS DOWN the ultimate drum software and it costs practically nothing for what you get. You don't own it yet? Are you kidding me?!?! close [-]
