SSD powers the massive drum tones of the industry's biggest hitmakers. You've heard these incredible drum sounds for over a decade, and now you can add them to your productions.
TRIGGER 2 is the drum replacement tool used by the entire recording industry. One instance gives you up to 8 stereo samples at once — all with freakishly accurate phase alignment. You get tougher toms, beefier kick drum, & more penetrating snares.
Write, compose, or play in drum parts for your tracks. If you program your drums via MIDI, this is the best option.
Replace and improve the sound of your recorded drums. If you're mainly working with drum audio, this is the one for you.
Our hand-picked collection of drum expansions built for real productions. From iconic producer tones to raw, flexible kits, each pack gives you detailed, hard-hitting drums with punch, realism, and mix-ready sound that will make your mixes come alive.

You've been hearing SSD on your favorite tracks for years. Here's a few examples.
"When I was in college I didn't have a drum kit. There was no way for me to play or record drums… Now that I have my own studio and record drums in lots of great spaces, I still use Trigger to make my drums sound their best. It's truly the ultimate equalizer.
"… As a set of high-quality samples for drum replacement these are the win. There are 3 separate files for each sample… The kicks are great… The toms are spectacular… The snares are excellent."
"Easy to use. Great drum sounds. I add a duplicate track and mix half natural sound and half trigger sound. Makes the drums sound amazing!"
"Trigger 2 is the best drum replacement plugin. It's a staple in any serious rock mixer's arsenal."
"SSD is a joy to use, hands down the BEST drum software out there!"
"Using SSD5 mainly with my E-Drums (Alesis Crimson II). Sound quality is amazing and the articulations are great. Overall it does a great job, and especially the mapping that matches my E-Drum."
"It's really impressive how good those samples sit in the mix just by loading them into your session and without even touching an EQ or compression. If you're doing a lot of rock, pop, metal — modern stuff where you need punchy, in-your-face drums — Steven Slate Drums 5 won't disappoint you."
"... I have used Trigger myself the last few years and I'm really pleased with the result."
"Everybody knows that Trigger 2 is an amazing drum replacement, but the gate is wow 🤯"
