As part of its “Aces High in July” promotion, Ugritone has launched a flash sale on Speed Metal Drums, a virtual instrument that covers all areas of the ’80s underground metal drum sound.
Speed Metal Drums is built for the eighties underground sound nobody’s managed to fake with a plugin since — until now. Power toms, deep kicks, raw cymbals, and enough snares to cover every era from Krupa’s Radio King to hammered brass. Engineered and performed by Ron D. Rock at New Soundstakk Studios, with kit presets running from “Aggro Heavy Metal” to “No Sleep Til Gunsmith,” because apparently that’s a mood now.
Karl Sanders of Nile once said this sounded like standing next to the drummer in the room. We didn’t write that. He did.
Regularly $49 USD, the plugin for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is $39.20 USD through July 22nd, 2026. Use coupon code REKKERD at the checkout to get an additional 10% discount on a purchase at the Ugritone store.
