XLN Audio AD2: Modern Soul R&B (Digital product)

XLN Audio wanted to make sure that with just a few clicks, users could add world class drums to their productions, and have full control over them, almost as if they'd been at the recording session themselves. To begin with, they carefully hand selected each kit, piece by piece, to get just the right sound. Then they found just the right space to record each kit. A studio with the right mix of acoustics, gear, drummer and engineers to coax the best out of it, make it sing, and capture its essence.

An absolute classic. Clean and crisp and smooth like butter. This Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple kit is made of sheets of Maple ply wrapped around a single layer of African Wenge hardwood, delivering a finely tuned tone that plays rich and clear across the full dynamic range. However you want to hear them, slamming out the breaks, or simmering in the back, they have the perfect balanced sound to sit super comfortably in the mix.
For snares they felt they needed two. A deep Longo Solid Ply Cherry for big, fat hits and thick side sticks and a shallower, high tuned 1968 Ludwig Acrolite for tighter, snappier hits. To top it off, they hand-picked smooth Meinl cymbals to glue the whole kit together, wrapped in warmth and balanced highs.
