Drum Kit and Cymbal Sound

The pack is based on a Japan-made Tama Starclassic kit. Two kick drums, a 22x18" Tama Starclassic and a 22x16" Pearl Masterworks, form the low end. Snare choices include a 14x5.5" Tama Starclassic and a 14x6.5" Pearl Signature Ferrone, and the kit adds three Tama Starclassic toms.

The cymbal selection centers on Sabian and Paiste models, including a 14" Paiste Dark Crisp hi-hat, a 22" Paiste 3000 ride, an 18" Sabian AAX china, and several Sabian crashes and a splash. An LP Rock Ridge Rider Cowbell is included as an extra percussion piece.

Rock Presets for Addictive Drums 2

The Studio Rock presets cover a wide tonal range. Clean, pristine settings suit productions that need a natural kit, while distorted and heavily processed presets give a more aggressive character.

Because each preset can be used as-is or tweaked, the pack works both as a starting point and as a finished sound. It is intended for rock and alternative music, and it works within the Addictive Drums 2 environment, which is required to use it.
