Most drum libraries are either overcooked or underdone
Too many drum libraries lock you into a sound that doesn’t fit your track. Processed kits are inflexible, and raw kits take forever to sculpt.
That’s why we built The Wood Snare Collection with dual versions of every sample - tight, mix-ready processed hits and clean raw recordings you blend to taste directly in Slate Trigger 2.

"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."
— 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."

Great product. The Modern Drums library sounds fantastic. Going from the free to the full version was well worth it.

a big help
These samples are a great resource for small home-studio producers, for whom drum recording and mixing often turn into a nightmare due to poor-quality source audio. Even just these few tones inspire us to keep working on compositions and new ideas. Kudos to the team for their dedication to this project, as it opens up more possibilities for us in the music market.

Very Poor Instructions
Very Poor Instructions - go to YouTube! - had to use AI to make work - too many emails trying to sell more products
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.
We’re really sorry to hear that getting everything set up was such a frustrating experience. We strive to make setup as smooth as possible, which is why we provide written guides via email alongside video tutorials on our website and YouTube. We're also always available via email for direct support. However, it’s clear we fell short of giving you a seamless experience this time.
To help us improve, could you please let us know which parts were unclear in the setup instructions?

These are so worth it !
I have multiple drum plugins and spent hundreds of dollars. I bought one just to test the waters and was completely blown away and came back the next day and bought multiple now I only use these exclusively . I use it through native instruments kontakt you can tell the amount of time that went into sampling these kits it’s absolutely phenomenal and sounds so good . It’s like the archetypes of the drum world ! My only issue was with the midi mapping in kontakt and my drum set however just make sure you are putting the right midi notes in they sometimes show up different then in your daw. I just took a photo of another midi map I had saved in one of my other programs and typed in the correct values it might be a me problem ,But if it happens to you don’t get discouraged take the time to get it mapped it is so worth it. Also great customer service! I am hoping they release more kits I will certainly be getting them.

WAV & One-Shots
Works with any modern DAW, hardware sampler, or drum replacement software that supports standard audio files.
No, these are not loops. All of our drum samples are multiple velocity and multiple round robin single hit drum samples.
How do I use the Trigger files?
These are .TCI and .PRS files for use in Slate Trigger 2. You will need the full version of Slate Trigger 2 in order to use these drum samples. The free versions of Slate Trigger 2 doesn't allow the loading of third party samples.
How do I use the WAV & One-Shots?
The individual WAV files can be added to any sampler you choose. We have given you all of the channels, velocity layers and round robins separately for maximum customisation.
