Addictive Drums
Addictive Drums 2 is a drum software plugin and standalone application from XLN Audio used by music producers, composers, and engineers to create professional drum tracks. It includes three professional drum kits (Fairfax Vol. 1, Fairfax Vol. 2, and Black Velvet) recorded at high-end studios, over 5,000 MIDI grooves across multiple styles, and comprehensive sound-shaping tools including EQ, reverb, delay, and transient control. The software works as both a plugin in DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) like Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, and Ableton, and as a standalone application. It is widely used in music production across rock, pop, jazz, electronic, and other genres.
