Made-for-metal Drums

GetGood Drums’ Invasion is a ferocious drum sample library for Kontakt Player. Tailor-made for metal, these sounds cut through any arrangement, no matter how fast and chaotic. Invasion is built around a massive drum setup — GGD’s largest yet — with built-in processing and reverb to ensure studio-perfect sound. That said, you get envelope and pitch control for each mixer channel so you can tweak each sound to suit your individual needs. And the sounds are top shelf. The entire kit is tuned to perfection, and every sample is phase coherent, safeguarding against sour and out-of-phase notes. Teeming with power, clarity, and separation, GGD’s Invasion is what your metal productions are missing.

Built around a massive collection of hard-hitting drums

Invasion is built around GGD’s largest drum setup yet. It includes seven snares, four kicks, 12 toms, and 30 cymbals that run the entire gamut of drum manufacturers. And it sounds great — every drum is tuned to perfection, safeguarding against sour notes. Beyond that, every sample is phase coherent, so you can layer drum sounds without worrying about disappearing hits.

Robust feature set makes crafting great-sounding drums easy

The number of features packed into GGD’s Invasion is impressive. Its Groove player makes finding the right drum pattern a breeze. Built-in processing ensures a first-class, studio-polished sound. You also get envelope and pitch control for each mixer channel, which gives you all the sound-shaping options you could ask for. What’s more, an easy-to-use interface and makes crafting top-flight drum sounds simple and intuitive. At Sweetwater, we appreciate Invasion — it’s great for sketching out song ideas, as well as crafting final mixes.

  • “I've been using GGD since it came out and it rocks my world! The guys at GGD have created a product that delivers a level of realism and detail that is best in class. It's an incredibly versatile tool and has found its way onto records I've worked on in a range of genres, from pop records for major artists to drum and bass.” — Sam Klempner, Producer and Mix Engineer (Paloma Faith, Little Mix, Craig David)
  • “GGD has quickly become part of my go-to arsenal for acoustic drums. The detail in these drum samples, as well as the comprehensive easy-to-use interface, makes for quick and efficient drum tracks in any genre artist that I’m working with. You would be doing yourself a disservice if these drums were not part of your production.” — Jeremy Reeves, Producer (Bruno Mars, Super Duper Kyle, Foster the People)
  • “Whether I’m aiming to reinforce or replace the shells of a recorded kit, add depth and space with room samples, or program a realistic sounding part from scratch, I know GGD will cover all my bases. The explosive room sounds and perfectly tuned toms are worth the price of admission on their own, and the Kontakt UI makes it a breeze to set up in any project.” — Jeff Dunne, Producer and Mix Engineer (Crossfaith, Cane Hill, Motionless in White)

GGD Invasion - another game changer for my home studio from get Good Drums

I have a home studio in my garage. I would consider it mid-tier as far as home setups go. I have a dedicated mixing station, proper acoustic treatment, nice mic collection, top of the line preamps ect. I record live drums, and the one thing that holds back some of my recordings is how small the room is and the way that limits drum recording. Recording live drums in a room that's too small just leaves them sounding kinda small, flat, dead. Snare, kick and toms severely lacking in punch. Enter Get good drums. I trigger the kick, snare and toms, but have the overheads and 2 room mics for the live drum performance. When the mics and tirgger hits are all blended together properly, nobody could ever tell that they're trigger samples and it makes the drum recording sound SO MUCH BETTER! It literally pushes the drum recording quality from garbage to almost pro (depending on how well you mix).

I have both Modern and Massive and Invasion drum libraries, and I'd highly recommend both of them. They both have awesome sounding samples of real, high end drums. the choices in both aren't enormously extensive, but they are top notch pieces of drum gear from tama, ludwig, pearl and more. the sounds are all so customizable it would take a friggin lifetime to learn every single modification you're able to do using the kontakt sampler and GGD. I would say that Invasion has an edge over M&M in how customizable the sounds are, and obviously there are way more cymbals. I never use the cymbals though because I don't program drums, I trigger the hits on a live drum recording. But they're brilliant for both.

If you record drums in a less than ideal room, or you're just looking for a high quality, customizable drum library for rock and metal, GGD invasion is an amazing choice. I think every studio should have these libraries on deck.

I love GGD

I do wish that GGD was a stand alone plug-in because kontakt is a real pain, but outside of that - I think invasion is an amazing tool to have.

Awesome drum software

This drum VI is really nice. I like that the virtual kit is large with many options. And the samples are ALL good. There's a lot of options here. The interface is easy to use, and all mic and mixing options are very useful. If you're looking for some virtual metal drums then you gotta try GGD Invasion.
