XLN Addictive Drums 2

soundonsound.com

Addictive Drums 2 (AD2) is a substantial upgrade, resolving past limitations while introducing new features like expanded kitpiece slots and a powerful Transient Shaper. Its intuitive design, coupled with a diverse range of stylistically themed ADpaks, makes it a standout in the virtual drum market. The enhanced Effects and Beats pages allow for significant sound customization, making it ideal for both seasoned composers and those new to virtual drumming. While it doesn’t offer the ultra-detailing of competitors like FXpansion’s BFD, its “everything you need” approach ensures ease of use without sacrificing quality. The review lauds AD2's sound excellence and sensible pricing, making it a compelling choice for musicians seeking a reliable and creative drum tool.

Addictive Drums 2 by XLN Audio impresses with its intuitive interface, maintaining ease of use while boosting flexibility and sound quality. The Tone Designer and MIDI Transform options enhance creativity, making it powerful yet user-friendly. The new Fairfax kit adds a robust, earthy sound to its arsenal. However, the absence of integrated sequencing and limited bleed options might disappoint some users. Despite these constraints, the software's lightweight demands and improved features make it a worthy upgrade from its predecessor, standing strong against competitors. Overall, it's a hit for those seeking a realistic virtual drum kit.

This is by far the best drum VST i have ever used with guarantee that it works. A bit CPU intensive but worth it. So easy to crack cuz this is way to expensive for me :)
