Key Features
The Addictive Drums 2: United Pop ADpak is an expansion pack for Addictive Drums 2 that delivers warm, polished and punchy sounds to your productions. Recorded at one of the most celebrated studios in the world, the United Pop ADpak has been sampled at the fabled United Recording Studio A (formerly Ocean Way Studios), home to the recording sessions of some of the biggest names in pop history. Using a naturally aged vintage Leedy & Ludwig kit, the United Pop ADpak delivers perfectly tuned drums with a warm and natural resonance complete with maximum realism to lift your productions to the next level.
Stripping back any unnecessary kit pieces, the United Pop ADpak provides you with the fundamentals needed to compliment your songs and not overcomplicate things. Perfect for creating modern pop and dance music, the focus is on delivering immaculate sounding shells with sparkling cymbals, rather than stifling creativity by offering too much choice. Included are 30 mix-ready presets that are entirely customisable through the Addictive Drummer 2 software to sculpt and shape your tones just the way you want.

XLN Addictive Drums 2 has been elevated with the v2.5 update, delivering both workflow improvements and exciting new features. The software now boasts a sleek, revamped interface designed to keep you focused on your music with its polished, modern look. A standout new effect, Trig Gate, allows you to effortlessly sculpt your drum sound with precise gate action on every hit, no threshold adjustments needed, thanks to the use of internal MIDI drum notes. The new Boost mode for the compressor adds extra punch to your beats with multiband compression specially tuned for drums, giving your tracks more energy and impact. On top of that, the EQ now features real-time visual feedback across all frequencies, making it easier than ever to fine-tune your sound with clarity and precision. Best of all, this update is fully backwards compatible, so all your previous presets, tweaks, and settings will work seamlessly, and it supports every Addictive Drums 2 expansion, including ADpaks, MIDIpaks, and Kitpiece paks.
United Pop features an in-house kit from United Recording Studios that has been used on countless top-10 hit singles throughout the years and is now immortalised in incredible detail with this expansion pack. The age of the drums has allowed them to naturally dry over time, removing excess moisture and giving a much more resonant and vibrant tone. Vintage drums are often praised for their warm and natural tones, and with the United Pop ADpak, this is no exception. Perfectly tuned, the Leedy & Ludwig kit provides a balanced and warm sound that's smooth without sacrificing brightness, making it the perfect choice for modern pop songs!
Two snare drums are included to give your songs a different flavour when the time calls for it. A 14x6.5" Ludwig Nickel Over Brass snare drum provides a full-bodied and bold sound, whilst the 14x5" Trump snare provides a snappy attack and transient that explodes with character in the room sound.
The United Pop ADpak puts the sound, reflections and character of one of the most sought-after drum rooms in the world at your fingertips. Recorded at United Recording Studio B (formerly Ocean Way studios), you can include the power and explosiveness of this studio in your mixes! Home to some of the most diverse and world-famous artists, Ocean Way Studios is more than likely heard on some of your current favourite record collections and continues to grow under the new United Recording umbrella. Recorded using the finest microphones and outboard equipment available, the Leedy & Ludwig drumkit has been recorded in immaculately high-fidelity, capturing all the body, detail and weight needed to make your drums sing in your mix.
Crafted by some of the best in the business, the United Pop ADpak comes included with a huge selection of production-ready presets to insert the knowledge and expertise of world-class producers in your songs! Not content with the selection of presets available? Customise your sounds and presets through the Addictive Drums 2 engine with EQ, compression, envelope shaping, volume faders and more to curate your sonic signature.
