Key Features
The Addictive Drums 2: Black Velvet ADpak packs punchy, massive and boutique drum sounds to your productions. Wherever you need your drums to explode with life and character, the Black Velvet ADpak can deliver modern, luxurious and radio-ready drum tones to your songs and projects. Recorded with a hand-made custom DW Collectors Series drum kit and a selection of hand-selected Zildjian cymbals through the most exquisite recording equipment available, the Black Velvet puts the sound of a multi-million dollar production in your hands.
Sampled in two studios, the drum shells have been recorded in a larger-than-life sounding gym hall studio, while the cymbals have been recorded in a tight and controlled smaller studio. This allows you to add rich ambience and natural decay to your shells for explosive and lively choruses, with a controlled and smooth top end from your cymbals. Perfect for the modern musician looking to add excitement and energy to your music, the Black Velvet is perfectly suited to most genres of music with excellent tuning and meticulous sampling that gives it a hugely detailed and articulate sound.

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.
Whenever you need your drums to sound larger than life, reach for the Black Velvet ADpak. Uniquely recorded to provide the highest amount of flexibility, the drum shells have been captured in a gigantic gym-sized recording hall, while all of the cymbals have been captured in a tighter, more intimate and small studio. This combination blends seamlessly together, allowing you to expand the size of your kit from an in-your-face verse that packs a tight and articulate punch, a larger than life chorus with a huge shell decay that adds ambience and excitement to your music.
Think of the huge radio-friendly rock singles from the '90s and '00s and amplify them by 11. The Black Velvet is the product of using some of the most boutique and sought after equipment on the planet, sampled in meticulous detail to provide the ultimate rock drum sound imaginable. A custom, hand-made DW Collectors series drum kit is matched with beautiful and vibrant Zildjian cymbals to glue together a cohesive and expansive sound that is perfect for any driving and energetic genres of music whether it's the explosive sound of Grunge, aggressive and barking sound of punk or anthemic stadium rock, the Black Velvet ADpak is here to deliver.
Over 30 jump-off point presets are included that cover many different styles and genres to quickly get you diving into your songs and projects. Spanning anywhere from clean and subtle to over the top and raunchy, all the presets are editable through the Addictive Drums 2 engine to experiment with sounds to find your sonic signature.
