XLN Audio has announced the release of its latest drum kit expansion for the Addictive Drums 2 virtual drum instrument.
The Progressive Metal ADpak introduces one of the genre’s most expressive drummers, Waltteri Väyrynen (Opeth), into your productions. Captured on his personal Pearl Reference Pure kit, this ADpak features precise double kicks, richly dynamic toms for melodic flow, and deep, dark cymbals.
Used by Waltteri on Opeth’s album “Last Will and Testament”, this kit delivers a studio-proven sound. Pearl Reference Pure shells deliver focused low end with clarity for ghost notes and fast passages, while dual 22” kicks provide tight, articulate power. Four toms and a hand-selected gong drum open melodic phrasing across the kit, and the wide selection of Sabian cymbals adds depth, from dark shimmer to aggressive attack. Every kit piece was played by Waltteri himself, capturing the dynamics and musical expression that define his style.
The Progressive Metal ADpak for Windows and macOS (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available to purchase for 89 USD/EUR at Plugin Boutique and from the XLN Audio store. (same as for all our ADpak expansions)
The ADpack is also included in the newly released Progressive & Heavy Collection, which combines two world-class drum kits and two MIDIpaks into one powerful package.
Recorded by acclaimed metal producer David Castillo, the Progressive Metal and Modern Heavy ADpaks span the full range of heavy music—from crushing modern metal to complex progressive compositions. Both kits include dual kick drums, delivering a natural, alternating feel that brings double kick patterns to life.
The value collection is priced 169 USD/EUR.
