The TRIGGER 2 Frank Zummo expansion Black Friday deal brings the Frank Zummo Signature Expansion down to $49, 50% off, until Dec 31, 2026.
It's a drum sample library for Steven Slate Drums' TRIGGER 2, built around Frank Zummo's playing. The maker pitches it at modern pop, pop punk, rock and indie, with a hybrid acoustic-electronic character.
TRIGGER 2 is required to use it. This is an add-on pack, not a standalone plugin.
The samples come in three versions of the same sound, so you pick how much of the work is already done:
The maker calls Douglas a Billboard-proven pro.
The counts for each tier are:
The Raw set has the most toms by a wide margin, 12 against 4 and 2.
The maker also mentions hyper-realistic articulations, including a rare ride shank and stacked cymbals. Those are the details that make a kit read as played rather than programmed.
The maker says the hybrid acoustic-electronic sound is designed to slot into any mix.
The Raw set leaves the signal chain to you: dial in your own EQ, compression and bus processing. The Mix Ready and Producer Ready sets arrive with that work done, so they can go straight into a session.
The maker describes the pack as built for producers who want versatility and power without having to rework the kit for every genre.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 50% off the Frank Zummo Signature Expansion, bringing it to $49. The offer ends Dec 31, 2026. Remember that TRIGGER 2 itself is required to use the expansion.
Yes. The maker states that TRIGGER 2 is required. The Frank Zummo Signature Expansion is a sample library that loads into it, so it won't run as a standalone plugin or on its own.
Raw is Frank's unprocessed, mic'd drums for your own processing. Mix Ready was mixed by Steven Slate Audio with processing and effects added. Producer Ready was engineered by Curtis Douglas, blending modern chart-style samples into the drums.
Each of the three sets has snares, kicks and toms. Raw has 4 snares, 3 kicks and 12 toms. Mix Ready has 4, 2 and 4. Producer Ready has 3, 3 and 2. Articulations include a rare ride shank and stacked cymbals.
