Session Percussion is a collection of exotic percussion instruments from XLN Audio. All the pieces have been specifically selected to function as a normal kit within Addictive Drums 2, allowing you to play session percussion like a standard drum kit. Use it as is, combined with other kits to expand your sonic horizons.
The instruments in Session Percussion were auditioned and combined to work together as a complete kit. The classic combination of congas and timbales acts as the toms, a large orchestral bass drum as the kick, and a Brazilian caixa as the snare. Wood blocks, tambourine, pandeiro, and hi-hats complete the kit. This means you can play Session Percussion like a normal kit. Alternatively, you can play it alongside another Addictive Drums ADpak for additional sonic flavors.
The included presets offer top-tier sounds that simply sit in the mix and sound great. These presets cover a wide variety of musical genres and production styles ranging from classic to Latin pop/rock, hip-hop/R&B, and even modern dancehall. If you need inspiration, we also have the Percussion Beats MIDIpak, which includes over 200 performances by professional drummers covering styles ranging from old-school soul funk to modern dancehall riddims.
