United Pop ADpak is an expansion pack for Addictive Drums 2 from XLN Audio. It adds a vintage drum kit recorded at United Recording in Hollywood, with presets aimed at pop production.
United Pop ADpak is a drum expansion for Addictive Drums 2 that focuses on pop. XLN Audio says the kit was recorded at United Recording, the Hollywood studio formerly known as Ocean Way, which it describes as a longtime choice for chart-topping records. The pack includes a vintage Leedy & Ludwig kit, two snares, and a set of cymbals made for the pop sound. It also includes over 30 presets for quick starting points, along with MIDI packs of played rhythms.
The kit is built around a vintage Leedy & Ludwig drum set. Its two snares are a Ludwig nickel over brass snare and a Japanese-made Trump snare, which give two distinct snare voices within one pack.
The cymbal set includes a Zildjian Vintage K hi-hat and four United Pop cymbals: a thin crash, a dark crash, a heavy crash and a ride. Extra percussion such as claves, castanets, a wood block, tambourine, vibraslap and rim clicks rounds out the kit for pop arrangements.
The ADpak includes more than 30 presets that XLN Audio describes as ready to use in a range of pop styles. These give you a starting point before you adjust the drums yourself.
For songwriters who want a rhythm to build from, the MIDI packs include professionally played patterns. The pack is best suited to producers working in pop and related styles who already use Addictive Drums 2.
