"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
“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."

"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."
