HOT Black Friday deal: this UJAM virtual drummer is 75% off, down to $29, until Dec 9, 2026.
HOT is a virtual drum instrument built around the drum sound of current chart music. The maker says it pairs real drum performances with punchy, drum-machine-style processing.
The idea is to replace sample libraries that need heavy engineering before they sit in a radio-ready mix. UJAM says those samples often come across as stale and lifeless.
The maker lists these features at a glance:
The Styles run from Hip Hop and Rap to Indie and Electronic. You can reshape hundreds of rhythms from those genres.
Juice is a single fader. At one end you get a fully natural drum variant. At the other you get the archetypal sample sound of the most popular drum machines.
The fader moves smoothly between the two, so you can dial in how processed the kit feels without swapping instruments.
Each Mix Preset swaps out a whole multi-bus effect chain for every channel inside the plugin. That gives you a different sound aesthetic per preset.
The maker says this saves you from wrestling with the bus system of your DAW. The routing happens under the hood instead of in your project.
HOT is a Virtual Drummer instrument and comes as a VST 2 and an AU 2 plugin. The AU 2 version works only with Logic Pro X and newer.
It runs on macOS 10.15 or later and Windows 10 or later, both 64-bit only. UJAM says earlier versions may work but are not supported or fully qualified. For current VST3, AAX and Apple Silicon support, UJAM's website carries the up-to-date info.
The minimum requirements are:
If you move the.blob file to an external drive, UJAM recommends an SSD to prevent dropouts.
The plugin is delivered as a downloadable installer file. You sign in with an e-mail and password inside the plugin. It supports MIDI.
