XLN Audio Metal AD2 Metal Drums by Ross Robinson

The Metal AD2 Metal Drums by Ross Robinson is a virtual drum kit designed for a powerful metal sound. Featuring a heavy kick, thunderous toms, and a sharp snare, it combines selected Ludwig, Gretsch, Zildjian, and Sabian pieces for an authentic metal experience. The kit includes "trig" sounds for the kick and snare, and 31 presets cover various metal sub-genres such as heavy, death, and speed metal.

Powered by the Addictive Drums 2 engine, it offers instant drum loading and tweaking with minimal CPU usage. Its user-friendly interface and effects provide extensive options for composition and sound design. Addictive Drums 2 supports major e-drum brands like Roland, Yamaha, and Alesis, with numerous map presets available.
