TRIGGER 2 David Bendeth Expansion Black Friday pricing is 50% off, which puts this Steven Slate Drums expansion pack at $49 until Dec 31, 2026.
It is a drum sample pack that adds new sounds to your TRIGGER 2 library. TRIGGER 2 is required to use it, so the expansion does nothing on its own.
The maker says it is the result of three years of work recording drums.
The pack adds 16 snares, 14 kicks and 19 toms to your TRIGGER drum library.
The kit range runs from modern Noble and Cooley drums to early 60s Ludwig. A Gretsch Jazz Cocktail kit is in there too.
The new drums are unprocessed, but the maker says they were recorded in enough detail to sit in the mix without a fight.
That leaves you free to shape them yourself. They respond well to EQ, compression and other effects, according to the maker.
Every drum has its own close mic, overhead and room channel. All the snares also include bottom mic samples, so you can dial in the amount of sizzle you want.
Yes. TRIGGER's six sample channels let you combine the classic Slate samples with the new Deluxe samples.
The maker says that gives you more control over getting the tone you're after. Because it works with TRIGGER 2's phase accurate drum replacement, you can use it to replace or reinforce recorded drum tracks in your own sessions.
If you already run TRIGGER 2 for drum replacement, this pack adds more raw material to the same workflow. The close, overhead, room and bottom snare channels give you plenty of ways to build a kit around a single hit.
