“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.”
"These samples are absolutely gorgeous. I love to mix & match various overheads, snare bottom, and room samples on every mix that I do."
— Jesse Ray Ernster (Mix Engineer)Doja Cat, Burna Boy, 1x Grammy Winner
"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
"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
"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."
— Adrian Tucker (Producer/YouTuber)

great BUT
sound like dookie is a great little plugin. alot of pros, but the biggest issue is the hats are extremely loud and in order to turn them down you kill your other cymbals in the process.
a direct mic to control the hihat and ride levels would make this alot better rather than all cymbals on a stereo out. the workaround right now is creating a second and third midi track just for the ride and crashes and that eats up cpu and time i could be investing in other aspects of the mix... so hopefully this library can get a update with better control to make it smoother to mix without workarounds. otherwise great. not overly processed. i find the toms and kick espeically boomy with alot of resonance allowing shaping to taste rather than having to settle with something too polished. hopefully in the future there is more control over cymbals.
Hi Lawrence, thank you for your review.
Good news regarding the hi-hat control: you can adjust that spot mic directly inside the plugin. If you click over to the 'Cymbals' tab, you’ll find a dedicated fader specifically for the hi-hat spot mic.
This sounds amazing. I'd like it better if I was able to configure more than 2 toms at the same time.

Rich, lifelike samples with just the right amount of studio/air
These drums feel awesome. Very flexible, great sound. Thick and crisp, but just enough air and room to feel real. They feel like they belong in the recording/mix.
If it had more snare and tom options, I’d pay $100+ for it easily.

Awesome
I have just started using the nevermind kit, I love it. So far it blends in well and really helps support and fill out some of the other samples I like to use. Thanks guys!
