Key Features
The Addictive Drums 2: Fairfax Vol. 2 ADpak is the ultimate expansion for Addictive Drums 2 for creating classic rock drum tones that pack a punch. Recorded in one of the finest studios in the world steeped in rock and roll history, the Fairfax Vol. 2 puts the same energy and liveliness that has been heard on countless records, into your productions. Utilising every aspect of this iconic studio, Fairfax Vol. 2 uses a combination of unique vintage microphones and contemporary modern microphones to give you a flexible balance that covers the entire frequency range. Captured through the in-house vintage recording console from the '60s, you can experience the sound of world-class equipment in your mixes that will take your productions to the next level.
Featuring a '60s 3-Ply Gretsch "Round Badge" kit, you can achieve rounded, natural and punchy drums that are perfectly balanced through the frequency range that perfectly suit most contemporary rock mixes. Combined with icons of rock drumming, a Ludwig Black Beauty 14x6.5" and 14x5" Brass snare, the Fairfax Vol. 2 packs the punch you need to cut through heavy rock mixes filled with distorted electric guitars, thunderous basses and driving vocals. In keeping with the classic vintage shells, a selection of custom hand-made cymbals are matched perfectly to create a full-range and smooth kit with a classic and warm sound.
Included are 30 mix-ready presets crafted by industry professionals to immediately add polished and radio-ready sounds to your tracks. Each sound and preset is entirely customisable through the Addictive Drummer 2 software to sculpt and shape your tones just the way you want to create your unique sonic signature.

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.
Captured in a legendary Los Angeles studio, the history filling the walls of the recording room cannot be understated. Steeped in rock and roll history, some of the most successful albums of all time have been captured in this exact room, using the exact drum kit featured in Fairfax Vol. 2, including the biggest grunge album of the '90s! A lively and characterful room, the Fairfax Vol. 2 ADpak is balanced and articulate, allowing every nuance of your drum performance to come to life in an exciting way. Perfectly positioned in the room, the vintage '60s Gretsch drum kit is balanced perfectly in frequency response with thunderous lows, defined midrange and smooth top end as well as in stereo spread, ensuring that each piece of the kit can be easily identified in the stereo field.
Captured using only the finest equipment available, Fairfax Vol. 2 produces ultra-high fidelity samples that suit any contemporary rock production. A collection of vintage and modern microphones has been used to capture the drums, giving you the ability to customise and blend yourself for maximum versatility with state-of-the-art hardware including a vintage 1960's discrete analog recording console.
FairFax Vol. 2 features a '60s Gretsch "Round Badge" kit with 3-ply construction, giving your tones a more rounded and natural sound with shorter decay. Although they may be vintage drum shells, this doesn't mean your sound won't be hi-fi, packing a huge punch and balanced frequency response, the Gretsch Round Badge kit is perfect for all things rock! In order to cut through a dense wall of distorted electric rock guitars, bass and vocals, the Fairfax Vol. 2 features two staple snare drums of hard-hitting rock drums, a Ludwig Black Beauty and a Ludwig brass snare. Both chosen specifically for their cutting tone that will sit above a heavy mix and give the impact and punch needed to drive your music with movement and energy. Matched with a selection of custom hand-made cymbals, the Fairfax Vol. 2 produces a silky smooth top-end to keep in line with the vintage shells, creating a cohesive and glued together sound that is perfect for taking your rock productions to the next level.
