More world-class instruments, more amazing sound shaping features, more tools for rhythm creation and transformation, and total freedom to pick only the kits and add-ons that are right for you. All this while maintaining the fast, clean, musician-centric interface that made us successful in the first place. We hope you’ll love what we have made.
► Build your perfect kit
Don’t like your snare drum or crash cymbal? Swap them out in seconds with any other kit piece in your drum collection! Want to turn down the ride, turn up the cowbell and maybe beef up your kick drum by linking it to an electronic sub-kick? Not a problem. The Kit page makes all this easy.
This page is where you can make changes to your drum kit. Easily modify any of our professionally designed presets or build your own presets from scratch. Our simple interface presents information in ways that musicians understand while eliminating unnecessary complexity.

Addictive Drums 2 is more than just great sounding drums in your music. It’s also a collection of outstanding rhythms and grooves played by professional drummers. Even if you are an experienced drum programmer, you’re sure to find inspiration here.

On this page, you can browse through all of the rhythms to find your inspiration. If you have a specific beat in mind, it’s very easy to search your collection using the Grid Search tool. And if you’d like to modify an existing beat to make it uniquely yours, the powerful Beat Transform system makes it easy.

You can link them to acoustic drums to give more “oomph” or even use them on their own to create new analog and digital drum machine sounds! New Response section lets you tweak performances to fit them into a mix. Two MultiFX inserts on every channel for even more sound design options.

Want Bob Rock’s drum mix on your next song? Here you go.
What do you get if you take one of the world’s most noted and sought-after metal and rock producers to his choice studio, bring a handpicked selection of drums, round up the best gear and outboard money can buy and hit ‘record’? You get drums, tailored and tweaked for their proper context. Period. Welcome to the Hard Rock EZX by Bob Rock.
The Hard Rock EZX was recorded at The Warehouse in Vancouver, BC, and comes with two kits, fundamentally different in their individual tones. The custom Gretsch*, with its brittle and direct attack, is ideal for use in more modern productions while the classic three-ply Ludwig*, with its complex, dark and warm timbre, is the perfect choice in mixes of a more vintage and ambient nature. In addition, the EZX includes a broad selection of extra kicks, snares and cymbals, allowing you to mix, match and design your own hybrid kits as you go.
To top off, the Hard Rock EZX features a collection of mix-ready presets encompassing a wide tonal range and mix of styles. Three of the presets were personally engineered and mixed by Bob Rock himself using his own custom samples to layer, saturate and augment the already awesome power in the raw drum tones.
Want the drums on your next track to come straight from the creative mind behind the sound of Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Aerosmith and many, many more? Here you go.
