Key Features
The Addictive Drums 2: Vintage Dry ADpak puts the golden era of analog drum tones in your hands with a huge range of flexibility and customisation. Chart-topping and ever-present even in modern productions, the sound of '70s drums can't be pigeonholed to one specific genre. The articulate and crisp detail of these drums makes it the perfect solution for the modern producer looking to add a versatile library to their outlet that is perfectly capable of delivering indie and rock as it is with R&B and hip-hop.
Getting the kit right is essential to the synonymous sound of the '70s, and with the Vintage Dry ADpak, this has been selected to perfection. A 1968 Ludwig Silver Sparkle kit has been tuned and dampened to perfection while being recorded through era-appropriate microphones and mixing consoles to round off the immaculate sound. Included are 30 mix-ready presets that are entirely customisable through the Addictive Drummer 2 software to sculpt and shape your tones just the way you want.

XLN Addictive Drums 2 has been elevated with the v2.5 update, delivering both workflow improvements and exciting new features. The software now boasts a sleek, revamped interface designed to keep you focused on your music with its polished, modern look. A standout new effect, Trig Gate, allows you to effortlessly sculpt your drum sound with precise gate action on every hit, no threshold adjustments needed, thanks to the use of internal MIDI drum notes. The new Boost mode for the compressor adds extra punch to your beats with multiband compression specially tuned for drums, giving your tracks more energy and impact. On top of that, the EQ now features real-time visual feedback across all frequencies, making it easier than ever to fine-tune your sound with clarity and precision. Best of all, this update is fully backwards compatible, so all your previous presets, tweaks, and settings will work seamlessly, and it supports every Addictive Drums 2 expansion, including ADpaks, MIDIpaks, and Kitpiece paks.
The Vintage Dry AD Pack brings you the classic sound of the '70s, with fat, dry and authentic tones that is perfect for a huge range of genres from classic rock, disco, funk and much more! The crisp and articulate tones are perfect for creating a solid backbeat to your productions, laying the bed for you to develop your song on top of.
The kit is comprised of a Ludwig Silver Sparkle from 1968 that has been modified and tuned to perfection for era-appropriate tones. Each drum has been individually dampened with pillows, newspaper or felt sheets to create the tight and dry sound that cuts through your mix. To ensure sonic authenticity, only microphones that were produced throughout the '60s - '70's such as Coles, Neumann and Sennheiser, were used to capture the performance of this immensely detailed pack, all running through vintage API consoles to provide the shaping and subtle saturation that only vintage mixing boards can provide.
Vintage dry contains two kick drums, two snares, four toms, five cymbals and handclaps to curate your preferred sound and setup that will complement and enhance your music. To get you started, there are 30 mix-ready presets included with this pack that provides you with a diverse range of sounds that cover many musical genres. Through the Addictive Drums 2 engine, all the presets and sounds are completely customisable and modifiable to your tastes through the onboard processing and mixer.
