The Metal Snare Collection is a premium snare library designed for modern productions that demand control, flexibility, and impact - regardless of genre.
Featuring 10 carefully selected snares, each captured across multiple tunings and delivered in a way that’s never been done before.These are the first drum sample libraries to include raw and processed versions of each sample, allowing you to blend directly within Slate Trigger.
Forget fixed, pre-processed samples. Our snares adapt to your mix, not the other way round.
How It Works
Simply load two instances of your chosen TCI in Trigger 2, set one articulation to RAW and the other to PROCESSED, then blend between them using the volume faders.
Or, for a faster workflow, use our handy utility presets.
Don't Just Take Our Word For It
Here's what producers are saying about our snare samples
Easy to mix! Natural, punchy. The high snares are ACTUALLY high snares. The texture it adds to my drums are so deep and moving. The groove just comes alive.
— Donyea ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
These samples are just what I needed, easy and quick to use as processed samples and the raw samples are sweet when I want to mix them myself.
— Matt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a great investment! The snare sounds are excellent, and they work seamlessly with Trigger.
— Tom ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love these samples! So useful for blending or worst case, replacing tracked snares when they need to work better with the track.
— Barry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm really amazed at the sound quality and versatility of these snares. They have become my go-to first choice when working on a project. The ability to mix and match between raw and processed brings the versatility to a whole new level.
— Blake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finding the right snare sound often means choosing between convenience and flexibility. Pre-processed snare samples can sound great but leave little room to adapt, while raw recordings offer full control at the cost of time.
The Metal Snare Collection was built to give you both, without compromise. Every sample includes raw and processed versions that can be blended together directly inside Slate Trigger 2, giving you precise control over punch, tone, and character in real time. No other library offers this level of flexibility in a single instrument.
This premium collection focuses on powerful, dynamic metal snares, captured across multiple tunings to deliver a wide range of tones. From tight and articulate to aggressive and explosive, the library is designed to stay versatile across genres and mixes.
To keep your workflow fast, we have included two types of presets - character presets which provide instant inspiration that are fully mix-ready and requiring no tweaking and utility presets that give you great starting point templates for each snare.
For a limited time only we have included four bonus metal snares, expanding the collection even further.
Build your perfect snare sound.

Are these loops?
These are NOT loops. All of our drum samples are multiple velocity and multiple round robin single hit drum samples.
They truly maintain the sound quality of the drum kit that was sampled. No over-processed effects and no digital rendering artifacts to be found. I look forward to continuing the collection of these drum samples!

Decent free drums for a variety of productions
High-quality sound with useful Kontakt controls like compression, saturation, and transient shaping. Also offers extensive control over close mics and multiple room mics, making it easy to shape the space and presence in the mix.

Actually how drums should sound like

Well, that was easy
Working on a remaster of some old content. Recorded in a pro studio, top kit. Thought the snare should be usable, right. Nope. Couldn't get the sound and was just trying to coax out sound that wasn't there. Tried some other drum sample/replacement software. Better, but still not there. Took a shot with JAD Modern. I think it took me two minutes to get it dialed in. I'm just diving into it, but it's been great right out of the gate! Nice job team. Keep 'em coming!

Wow this kit does it all
Love how easy it was to get great sounds with this. It’s solid and well worth it!
"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
“It’s hard to pick a favorite pack. Every new one I try sounds exactly like the drums they are trying to replicate! El camino and Dookie have been in heavy rotation in my writing sessions these days.”
"I’ve been using the kits on all our latest demos and they sound killer! Nice work!!"
— Jack Collins (Guitarist/Songwriter)Dead Poet Society
"Amazing samples clearly made with care. I've used them in recent sessions and got great feedback on the drum sound. Highly recommend to any songwriter or producer looking for fresh, high-quality drums. It’s a go-to for me now."
— Max Helyer (Guitarist/Songwriter)You Me At Six
"Just Add Drums libraries are a game-changer. They are an essential tool for any producer who values quality and respect for the musical performance."
