3 professionally recorded kits, Insert & Send effects, 100+ presets, and over 3000 MIDI files.

Addictive Drums is a complete drum production studio. It has everything you need to make a professional drumtrack production. It's flexible, yet very quick to learn and use.

Concept: 3 Vital Parts
Addictive Drums is built on three major, and equally important, building blocks that are a necessity for a complete drum production:

Drum Samples
Drum samples of professional quality from the best drum kit brands available recorded in a studio with great acoustics, a multi-mic setup, and stored in a multichannel format.

Production Tools
Mixer, insert effects, reverbs, and the know-how of a sound technician/producer.

Beats & Fills
Grooves, beats, and fills recorded by a great drummer in different styles, tempos, and feels.

Addictive Drums offers all this, in one easy-to-use plug-in that is compatible with all the major host softwares out there

User Interface
Addictive Drums consists of four main pages: the Kit Page where you can view all of the kit pieces; the Edit Page with all the insert effects; the FX Page with reverbs; and the Beats Page which contains the 3500+ MIDI file library.

The Map Window
The Map Window is where all the settings for the E-Drum Support are located. Edit your Map Presets, customize the settings for velocity and volume on the kitpieces, tweak the hi-hat settings, and more. You open the Map Window from the Beats Page.

Main Features
Production Presets
With one click, you can load up a complete drum production. The settings for the Kit, the Insert Effects, and the 2 built-in Reverbs are recalled in a split second. You can Save your own presets and organize them in folders for quick access in any project. They appear automatically in the preset menu. Addictive Drums gives you over 100 presets in diverse production styles such as Rock, Electronic, Distorted, PopRock and more.

Full E-Drums Support
Take E-Drumming to a new level with Addictive Drums 1.5 Adrenaline. All of the major E-Drum models on the market are fully supported and setting up has never been easier. E-Drums connected to Addictive Drums will provide you with one of the most realistic E-drums drum sounds on the market with fast workflow and powerful mixing possibilities.

Drums and Cymbals
Addictive Drums comes with a vast library of drum and cymbal samples recorded and in a professional studio with great care. A total of three kits and lots of cymbals from the top brands in the world are included.

Total control over drumkits and kitpieces
Everthing in Addictive Drums can be tweaked and customized. Load up an entire drum kit or build your own. Use the kitpiece list to view, audition, and switch the kit pieces in the drum kit or just use the arrows next to the kitpice on the Edit Page.

Beats and Grooves
Addictive Drums comes with over 3500 MIDI Beats and Grooves that trigger the drum samples inside the software. You can use any beat with any kit pieces or presets. Lots of different styles, tempos, and feels are represented.

Inserts and Effects
The inserts and effects are used to shape the drum sound you are working with. Addictive Drums comes with a number of inserts and effects like EQ, Compressor, and Distortion that can make your drum sound go from natural acoustic pop to distorted electronic house in just a few seconds.

Comments about XLN Audio Addictive Drums Software Download:

I have been using Addictive Drums for a couple years. Pretty good software, absolutely HORRIBLE customer service. I've tried to get a simple question answered and no one will respond. They do not have telephone support. I would NOT recommend this company or their products.

Comments about XLN Audio Addictive Drums Software Download:

If you haven't already, download the free version from XLNAudio. For two reasons, set up an account with the company (which you'll have to do anyway) and to test your system. It also helps to familiarize yourself with the download process. If you haven't much experience with downloading these types of software platforms, you might find it a little daunting at first. If you have computer skills you should breeze right through with no issues. It's a large program and it took quite awhile to download, but once it finished, Mixcraft 5 recongnized the new VST and it loaded up quick. I was "drumming" in no time.
If you're familiar with soundfonts and/or use them, keep a copy of some of your favorite drum/cymbal sounds to augment the drum tracks you create with AD. Softdrums makes a great free SF player and there are hundreds of well made soundfonts and wav drum/cymbal samples on the net for free. I used to create my
drum kits with SF's but it's a time consuming and tedious task. AD is simple, sounds great. If your a keyboard drummer you won't be disappointed. I don't use preset beats myself, but there are many and they're really quite good. Lot's of useful effects and the all important key mapping function is perfectly easy.
After considering the several awesome drum software companies out there, I went with AD because I wanted something with good drum samples, something not to over the top complicated and the decent price didn't hurt.
I think I made the right choice for me.
10 out of 10!!

Great software but you need some patience

By Jamie barnes

from middle America

Comments about XLN Audio Addictive Drums Software Download:

Good product.....here is my beef. I bought it here at MF online. I called several hours later because I didn't have the key yet. Even though I had an order number and they had already put a hold on my bank account for the price of the software, nobody could find my order anywhere. after an hour of being on the phone, they sent me a code. MF customer service was pretty good considering that. Once I got the key, it was a nightmare to download and all of that. Basically the instructions are not clear. So Let me lay it out for ya....

Buy it
Get key code
follow link to download
BEFORE you download, go to my products and register it.
Then download
Then go to the page again and go to my computers. Add your computer
Then open the software in your host program. It should walk you through the procedure from there.

Good luck
I would have given it a 10 but they need a better variety of cymbals and basic rhythmic instruments. But hey, it has cowbell so there is that.
This is the second time I have purchased this so I can use it on more than 2 computers. So yeah, I like it.
The first time I bought this, it was $99. So I didn't like the price jump. Also, only two licenses is silly.

About as close to real as you can get.

Comments about XLN Audio Addictive Drums Software Download:

As a long time user of ezDrummer, I am blown away by this software. Compared to ezDrummer these drums sit in the mix so much better. They sound more natural, you can definitely hear the analog warmth. It would cost much, much more to purchase enough gear to record drums that sounded this good.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate the value of Addictive Drums a 30. Ridiculous I know, but getting this quality of drum sounds for this price is crazy.

Excellent!!!

By Stringblade

Comments about XLN Audio Addictive Drums Software Download:

I've used it for a while and it is really a great easy to use product. If you use an eKit with them, it is so simple. It's just a matter picking the right mapping from the list for that drum kit and your rocking and roll'n. My band is working on a new demo, and my drummer after hearing the plug in said, "Man, I wish my kit sounded this good", and that's compairing it his previous demo from a professional studio. I only wish they had Z symbols as a choice in addition to the Sabians. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Simply The Best!!!

By Sabbath99

from Vincennes, IN

Comments about XLN Audio Addictive Drums Software Download:

I purchased the Addictive Drums software download for $99 on sale here from Musiciansfriend and was jamming in 3 hours. I did alot of homework when it came to listening to all the drum software available and Addictive Drums seem to blow away the competition. Its so user-friendly and so far I have got nothing but mind blowing results. I play AD through my Roland Td-4 drum kit and it sounds so real that I forget im playing a electronic kit. For real, try the demo out and see for yourself. I bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 for $450 just for my drum software and a M-audio soundcard and was ready to rock. You'll need a good soundcard and I recommend the Presonus Audiobox or M-audio Fast Track Pro if your just plan on using the sounds to play through ur kit. I use Reaper as my workstation and it couldnt be easier to setup. It took me about a day to get it all right and Ive have no experience in drum software or anything. So do urself a favor and buy this download now for $99, its seriously the best deal ever. And I also recommend the Adpaks(I got Retro which is the best but I will be buying them all). Thanks and Rock On
