GGD (GetGood Drums) is a virtual instrument company built around drum sample libraries, MIDI groove packs, and VSTs aimed at producers working in metal, rock, and adjacent heavy genres. The company grew out of the working relationship between Periphery drummer Matt Halpern and producer/bassist Adam "Nolly" Getgood, who spent years refining a drum recording approach on tour and in the studio before setting out to package that sound as a software product. Co-founder Derya Nagle handled the software side of the company, and Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor has been involved in its direction.

The catalog spans multi-sampled virtual drum libraries such as Modern & Massive, Invasion, and the Matt Halpern Signature Pack, alongside the One Kit Wonder line of genre-focused kits (including One Kit Wonder: Metal and The Downbeat) and groove/MIDI packs performed by working session and touring drummers. The lineup also extends beyond drums with The Nolly Bass Library and the GGD Studio Cabs guitar cabinet simulator, reflecting a broader focus on tools for self-produced heavy music. Products are distributed both as standalone instruments and through Kontakt, with many titles available as NKS-ready libraries via Native Instruments.

GetGood Drums has 14 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Virtual Instrument, Kontakt Instrument, and Sampler Plugins. Their gear is featured by 10 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Jazz. Notable users include Matt Halpern, Dylan Reavey, and Mike Shinoda.
