HEAVY 2 Black Friday deals start at $9, which is 92% off UJAM's rock and indie Virtual Drummer until Dec 9, 2026.
It is a virtual rock drummer built on real drum performances, and UJAM describes it as a hard-hitting player locked in permanent beast mode.
If you own HEAVY 1, UJAM says you can upgrade to HEAVY 2.
The plugin covers rock, indie and grunge, from soft pop-rock ballads to Seattle-style overdrive. You trigger styles and rhythmic phrases from simple controls on the interface, so you don't need deep production experience to get a part going.
UJAM calls this its frustration-free design approach.
Two performance controls let you push or pull the drummer against the beat, and make the playing looser or more rigid. Each element of the kit has its own volume, so you can set the balance before adding stadium-style reverb.
The tonal range is wide: the kits can sit anywhere from clean to aggressive, and the maker pitches the character presets as the quick way to move between those poles.
UJAM lists these changes over the first version:
Multiple outputs mean you can route kit pieces to separate channels and treat them on their own buses in the DAW.
HEAVY 2 comes as VST 2 and AU 2. The AU version works only with Logic Pro X and newer. It supports MIDI.
It runs on macOS 10.15 or later and Windows 10 or later, 64-bit only. UJAM says earlier versions may work but are not supported or fully qualified. For VST3, AAX and Apple Silicon support, UJAM points to its own website.
You need 8 GB of RAM, 6.11 GB of free disk space, a 1280 x 768px display and an internet connection. If you move the.blob file to an external drive, UJAM recommends an SSD to prevent dropouts.
Delivery is a downloadable installer. You authorize inside the plugin with your ujam.com email address and password.
