What is Modern Soul And R&B ADpak for?
Addictive Drums 2: Modern Soul And R&B ADpak is a drum sound library designed to produce realistic patterns and performances within the Modern Soul, R&B, Neo Soul, and Urban Pop aesthetics. It suits both laid-back, "pocket" beats and more pronounced breaks, delivering a naturally musical sound that integrates quickly into a production, from sketch to final version.
Main Features
A main kit that is both precise and warm
At the heart of this expansion is a Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple, renowned for its balanced response: clear attack, controlled sustain, and dynamic range usable across the entire playing spectrum. The result is a clean kit, but never cold, capable of staying discreet behind a verse while maintaining the necessary presence when the production opens up.
Two complementary snares for varying intentions
To meet the demands of modern R&B, the ADpak offers two approaches: a Longo Solid Ply Cherry (deeper) for wide hits and thick side sticks, and a higher-tuned Ludwig Acrolite 1968 for tighter, more nervous strikes. This combination makes it easy to choose the right character according to the arrangement, without over-processing in the mix.
Silky cymbals and natural cohesion
Meinl cymbals were selected to provide a smooth and balanced high end. The set aims for a "mix-ready" drum kit: solid kick drum, fat snares, defined toms, and soft cymbals, with ideal coherence for modern productions.
