"I’ve got tens of thousands of drum samples, but most are either over-processed or too raw to use easily. The snare samples from Just Add Drums hit the perfect balance - ready to go yet flexible enough to shape to my sound. They’ve quickly become a staple in my setup."
— Chris Baseford (Producer/Mixer)Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Rob Zombie, Daughtry
"Enjoying these samples, especially The Wood Snare Collection! I used the Yamaha Beech on Judas Priest - blending it with Scott’s snare worked really well.
I’ve received a lot of compliments on the snare sound!"
— Andy Sneap (Producer/Guitarist)Judas Priest, Dream Theater
