The Metal AdPak Expansion for Addictive Drums adds some serious attitude to an already stellar virtual drum instrument. Featuring a Ludwig drum kit recorded by metal guru Ross Robinson in Los Angeles, this ADpak brings a totally new sound to Addictive Drums. Ross Robinson is one of the most renowned metal producers in the world. He has worked with bands such as Korn, Slipknot, Machine Head and Sepultura, and is widely known for his raw, powerful drum productions and dedication to details. For the Metal ADpak recordings he brought in his A-team consisting of engineer Steve Evetts (Sepultura) and drummer Jeff Freidl (Ashes Divide, Puscifer).

Ludwig Classic Maple drumkit
With thunderous toms, a heavy kick drum, a sharp but balanced snare drum and vicious Zildjian cymbals this kit really delivers in any kind of metal style. The 18 piece drum kit was hand picked and tuned by Ross Robinson for the recording sessions.
