🥁 What Is MODO Drum?
MODO Drum is a cutting-edge modeled drum plugin that dynamically simulates drum behavior using advanced physics. Unlike sample libraries, it lets you design drum kits in real-time—changing shell size, material, damping, beater type, and more. Its PLAY STYLE section offers expressive drummer behavior, while the ROOM section uses convolution to simulate real spaces. Built-in FX and multi-channel mixing make it a complete drum production suite inside your DAW.
Whether you’re mixing modern trap, composing cinematic percussion, or jamming live, MODO Drum adapts to your creativity.
