Premier Gen-X Bass Drum Kitpiece Pak
This bass drum is a must have, especially if you own any of our Modern Jazz ADpaks. It's the same Premier Gen-X series but this time we've recorded a bigger, 22x18" bass drum. Recording was even done with the same gear in the same room.
By adding this bass drum to your collection you'll get a punchy, yet warm tone with more bottom. It will make your Modern Jazz ADpaks an even more versatile tool, suitable for a wide range of musical styles.
Premier Gen-X Bass Drum Kitpiece Pak is available for purchase in our webshop and costs 10 Euro / 10 USD.

Artist interview - Current Value
Tim Eliot aka Current Value
When working on the Reel Machines ADpak we contacted Tim Eliot, also known as Current Value, to help us create some beats and presets. Tim ended up creating a full set of beats with matching presets and also made the very cool Reel Machines theme song. We here at XLN are old fans of Current Value and when we heard that his recent album "2012 - The Day Of Silence" features heavy Addictive Drums and Reel Machines use we knew we had to pick his brain.
Reel Machines ADpak Released

Reel Machines is an electro injection for Addictive Drums featuring five full electronic kits from the eighties. Available now!
