The Patrick Carney SSD & Trigger 2 Expansion Black Friday deal is 37% off, putting this Steven Slate Drums expansion at $49 until Dec 31, 2026.
It's a vintage drum pack sampled and recorded by Patrick Carney, the Black Keys drummer, and it works only inside SSD and Trigger 2.
The maker pitches it as the dirtiest, fattest, most vibey vintage drums around, with kits that run from a rare '61 Round Badge Gretsch to an edgy 70's Ludwig Vistalite.
The pack ships as presets for both platforms:
Every drum was recorded in Patrick's private studio.
The pack also includes the famous 1960s EMT 140 reverb plate.
Each kick, snare and tom comes both processed and raw. That gives you two starting points on the same drum.
The processed versions arrive with their sound already shaped. The raw ones leave the shaping to you, so you can dial in your own EQ and compression on the bus.
Hi-hats, crashes and rides follow the same processed and raw split, but they live in the SSD presets only. If you work in Trigger 2, the kicks, snares and toms are the part you'll use.
The cymbal count is big for an expansion: 20 crashes alone.
The maker calls these kits ultra-versatile and says they suit rock, blues, indie and pop tracks.
It also pitches the pack as a must-have for any drum collector, given the vintage kits behind the samples.
This is an expansion, not a standalone instrument. The maker's note says Steven Slate Drums or Trigger 2 is required to use it.
If you already run either one, the pack adds its presets to the library you have. If you have neither, you'll need one of them first.
