What Addictive Drums 2 Modern Jazz Sticks ADpak Is For
Addictive Drums 2 Modern Jazz Sticks ADpak is a drum sound library designed to produce contemporary jazz grooves, from intimate trios to modern productions where the drums must remain articulate and refined. Whereas rock or pop kits can sound too heavy, this ADpak aims for a more nuanced response, with precise attacks, dynamic subtleties, and a natural presence in the mix.
Main Features
A "classy" kit built for jazz
The foundation is a Premier Gen-X made in the UK, with hybrid birch-maple shells for a balance between definition, warmth, and projection. The toms are tuned to achieve a jazz character: more clarity, less excessive low end, and a clear reading of ghost notes and nuances.
A reference snare and a woodier kick drum
The ADpak includes a Ludwig Acrolite in "mint" condition, appreciated for its rich timbre and versatility in jazz contexts. The kick drum uses a wood beater for a more organic and less aggressive attack, ideal to support the double bass and let the piano breathe.
An adjustable space to fit the mix
The kit is tunable and offers an adjustable room ambiance: you can keep a tight and close sound for modern productions or open up the space for more "live" and airy recordings. The result is an efficient workflow to quickly switch from a club sound to a wider studio sound.
