Studio Pop ADpak is an expansion pack of drum kits and presets for XLN Audio's Addictive Drums 2. It is built around a Sonor Designer kit with Sabian cymbals, aimed at pop and rock production.
Studio Pop is one of the original Addictive Drums kits, and this ADpak expansion collects its sounds alongside new presets designed for the Addictive Drums 2 engine. The kit is based on a Sonor Designer drum set and a range of Sabian cymbals. XLN Audio describes the sound as punchy, with a distinctive snare. The included presets run from clean and pristine to distorted and heavily processed, and they can be used as-is or tweaked for a specific track.
The drum kit at the core of Studio Pop is a Sonor Designer set. It includes a 24x18" kick, a 14x5" snare and five toms. The cymbal selection draws on Sabian, with a 14" AAX Studio hihat, two rides (a 20" HHX Manhattan Jazz and a 21" HHX Groove), three crashes, a 10" AAX splash and a 16" AAXplosion.
An LP Rock Cowbell is also included as an extra percussion sound, which suits rock and pop fills and accents.
The presets cover a wide range of tones, from clean, open drum sounds to distorted and heavily processed ones. XLN Audio presents them as radio-ready starting points. You can load a preset directly into a track or adjust it to fit the arrangement and mix.
The collection is aimed at pop and rock productions, where a punchy, focused drum sound is the goal.
