Sound Like Nevermind - Slate Trigger 2

About this plugin

Sound Like Nevermind is a meticulously sampled drum library for Slate Trigger 2 that captures the distinctive sonic character of the drums on Nirvana's landmark 1991 album. Rather than simply recreating the source material, Just Add Drums has focused on the mixing techniques that defined the record's impact, particularly the signature reverb treatments applied by mixer Andy Wallace. The library includes emulations of the Lexicon 480L and PCM90 reverbs on dedicated faders, with white noise layered into the snare reverb exactly as Wallace implemented in his original mixes.

The kit itself consists of a Yamaha Recording Custom birch drum set paired with Zildjian A Custom cymbals and a Tama Bell Brass snare, sampled with six to seven velocity layers and eight round robins across 2,216 samples. Articulations span standard playing techniques including open and closed hats, rim shots, and cymbal chokes. Beyond the core sound, Just Add Drums has included two supplementary microphones not present on the original recording - a Shure Beta 91A condenser on the kick and a Beyerdynamic M201 dynamic mic on the snare top - expanding tonal possibilities for contemporary mixing approaches.
