ML Sound Lab breaks new territory by expanding from guitar solutions with the release of ML Drums - our very own drum sampler. The aim was to create the easiest virtual drum sampler with the versatility to also meet the needs of professional studios. Finally we have drum samples done with the ML Sound Lab secret sauce: capturing the sound perfectly at the source so there's no need to fix it in the mix. Natural sounds with no gimmicks.
ML Drums is a modular drum sampler platform where the initial release comes with a FREE DRUM KIT. You can continue expanding the kit to your liking by purchasing the add-ons you are interested in. Start expanding the kit with ML Drums Essentials.
Guitar, drum, what's next?? Good jobs guys!
Feels good to branch out from guitars a little, super excited to see what people think of this one! Thank you for checking it out!

"Routing is super easy, barely an inconvenience". And I agree that this is The best software drum kit ever. Just the "No Kontakt" draws attention. Then, no messing around with weird UI. Every other, you wanna change one piece, you need to go through a lot coz all it matter is the cosmetics. This is just a drop-down menu on which piece you wanna change. Brilliant!
Thank you Gabriel! Doing our own loader was a lot of work, but we're really happy with the flexibility it provides us. DAWs like Reaper and Studio One are barely two-click affairs to engage the Multi-Output routing with pre-named channels and everything. Super simple!
-Kai
This is quite possibly the best software drum kit I’ve ever used. I’ve used it on all of my releases recently. Sounds so good.
Thank you so much Tink!
-Kai
Just tried the free version with my electronic kit. Sounding awesome. Will definitely be getting the full version and will try and feature it on my channel.
Sweeeet, thank you so much for checking it out!
-Kai
Good job for the price, bud! Love it! P.S. Little suggestion: Make the UI richer as well as the other similar drums software, add a room, a carpet, ISO panels etc..it would make the work more comfortable for the eyes! :)
Thanks for bringing it up to us! We opted for the ML Sound Lab grey background for it to be more cohesive with our Amped and MIKKO plugins, but we do appreciate your feedback!
-Kai
God please no. This is exactly what I love about this plugin. No messing around with UI for every little thing you wanna change. It's simply a drop-dowm menu for each part. That's the brilliance of it.
Sounds amazing Mikko
Thanks Omar!
-Kai
By far the easiest,cleanest, and most real sounding drum library that I own. It's my go to for sure. Not too mention not having to deal with kontakt. Wow. Imo... That's my favorite aspect. Lol. I cannot wait to hear future libraries. If they release separate samples to ad to the library... This instrument will be unmatched. In my own humble opinion... Thank you ML for developing these and making them super super affordable. WELL worth the 💰 and then some
That is so awesome to hear! Thank you 💪
-Kai
@@mlsoundlab absolutely bro.
IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much Nicolas once again!!
Been using this now on the free version for a bit, and its ridiculously good. Definitely going to buy the full version soon.
Thank you! 💪
-Kai
Ok the king of sound!! Haahah nice work!!!
Thank you!!
-Kai
you guys are just amazing. Love your amps and cabs i use them everyday ill be downloading this drum kit as soon as i get home you guys are the best.
You're awesome, thank you!!
-Kai
👏
🙏
Thank you so much David!!
Dude Everything is Fine is a masterpiece. One of the most achingly beautiful pieces ever.
Hands down, tNice tutorials is THE best beginner video I've watched. Others want to brag about all the sample, loops, etc they have. You keep
Thanks Mat!!
-Kai
d0oOOoOoooD! These sound AMAZING. First cymbals I've ever heard that sound like...you know...cymbals...without all the boxiness I hear in most other libraries. And the drum tuning? Perfect! But the cherry on top....the presets. These are literally ready to go out of the box and with the smart way you incorporated the mapping presets, anyone can be up and running with any of the presets in seconds. Kudos ML!
That is fantastic to hear, thank you ever so much for checking it out Brock! We really strived to make this one the best it can be right from the get-go. Took a lot of trial and error and a long time in the testing phase, but we're so happy with how it came out!
-Kai
I already have 2 huge GGD libraries, but for this price, I might consider getting this one as well. The Sound is very nice, the UI is super clean and intuitive and the kit itself looks killer!
Only things I think I miss, are snare top/bottom controls and parallel compression, but I might have missed them due to skipping a few seconds here :D But even if they're not available, it's still a great library, especially for this price!
Definitely give it a try. We're definitely going for a different sound with the kick and snare than anything that's out there so at least it'll bring you variety. We really want that natural ring and sustain of the drums themselves without gimmicks. We will be adding a bunch of features as we go - this is the initial launch and we're looking forward to building the platform while keeping the ease of use like it is.
and i wish you good luck with your future endeavors ❤
Thank you!
-Kai
Needs a double kick kit with more rack toms!
Fast double bass programmed on a single kick ends up with the 'machine gun' issue. If you have two kicks you can detune one slightly to make it sound more natural.
Thanks for the suggestions! One thing that can help with this is to map the kick drum to two separate MIDI notes - this way you can lower the velocities on the non-dominant foot pretty easily, which will give a nice variation to the sound, akin to using a real double kick pedal.
-Kai
Super stoked to try triggering this with my apartment E-kit!
Sounds absolutely killer!
Great job!
Thanks Mikko!!!
✌🤟🖖
Oh that's cool as hell! Let us know how you get on with it!
-Kai
Sounds absolutely amazing
Happy to hear that, thank you!!
-Kai
It’s totally worth learning new skills cause then you get excited and confident to create
Absolutely!
-Kai
Lovely to get a decent drumkit for free. One day when I finally have the money, I'll get that Mikko's Plexi. I thought plugins don't have that huge of a difference, but then I played the trial of Mikko's Plexi. I don't know what it is, but it has some quality that no other plexi plugin has, and that has to be one of the most popular amps to simulate. It has that rawness and bite that your favourite old records or videos about loud plexis have.
That's some awesome feedback to hear, thank you so much!
-Kai
amazing!! instant buy
Thank you!
-Kai
awesome drum plug in and it f******* free :). maybe in the future there may be midi library like ezdrmmer2/3 etc. then it will change the whole drum world. it is not only with keyboard i also triggered to e- drum and worked perfectly. no latency issues. and it will be great to show how we install the additional essential packages.
Glad it's all working for you nicely! We'd like to add MIDI grooves in the future, it's something we're always talking about 💪
-Kai
picked up both the essentials and luxe kits. sounds great with very good factory presets. please keep working on the edrum midi stuff and you'll do great. right now toontrack still leads for that and it is why I have a lot of their offerings. I simply can't use a mouse to make my music. I need to be smashing it.
Thank you Dean, we hope to expand on E-Kit support in the future! 💪
-Kai
Thank you Chris. I really appreciate it and that was exactly what I was trying to do. No fuss and helping people get on with what they need
Glad to hear we were able to help you out!
-Kai
Thank u so much, interested in starting so soft during quarintine and just need a place to get started, thx for the support
Thanks for checking it out!
-Kai
so sweet of you
Thank you!
-Kai
All the best,
Amazing Stuff! Will try it first thing tomorrow. Thank you for your generosity!
Thanks for checking it out!
-Kai
Thanks so much for your thoughtful and detailed videos! On to the soft!
Thanks Rimer!
-Kai
This looks really good. Seems super easy to navigate and I love that you can get to use the raw samples too if you want to do something 'off menu'. Silly price too. :)
Thanks for the kind words!
-Kai
Thank you and good luck.
Thank you for checking it out!
-Kai
Really good sounding drums, I’m still trying to dig in, I think it’s really good for any genre.
Thank you! 💪
-Kai
I want to! what a wonderful sound. Congratulations.
Thank you!

BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Thanks Ronnie!

Add an auto humanise feature and I'll pay whatever you want.
We might actually do that!! There's already been talk about it. ;)
Huge point.
What does an autohumanize do?
In GMS screen select appes and then select Analog app 1 TE. That worked out for .
super cool!
Thank you!
-Kai
Played with the free version today and spent my money immediately on the essentials. Love it. Also, would be nice if you can make a snare and toms tuned for reggae. Great vsti. Recommending it to my friends already.
Thank you so much Marcus, we appreciate the feedback!
-Kai
Thank you.
No, thank YOU! We appreciate you checking it out!
-Kai
Awesome Miko!
Thank you!!
-Kai
I have the demo. It somehow sounds a bit better than the ez... I definitely have to buy the full version
Easier than ez? 😄 Thank you so much!
o man, I am really, really hoping that this kit can be installed on another HD and not system drive..lol That is always a downer 4 sure man -Sounds bangin' for sure....o man, look out GGD
Unfortunately it's only able to be installed on system drives at this point in time, but that's definitely something we can consider for a future iteration. Thank you for asking about it!
-Kai
@@mlsoundlab o thanks for replying...I am just getting ready to install it anyway..lol It sounds too bitchin' to not install haha Would be Ultra-Cool of you guys if u did update it later though? I know a lot of other people will need that also. Awesome job Congrats -Ad
At startup, it gave an error. I updated the firewood and it helped me)
Thanks for letting me know Jovi!
-Kai
Hi again. I have a very important question!! Can you send each instrument to different outputs? How can you do it? I got the free version and I'm thinking in buying the extension, but I need that option. Thanks
Yes you can and that is one of the big reasons why we wanted to build our own platform - to make multi-outs as easy as clicking a few buttons. You will simply have to create more outputs for the virtual instrument. This happens differently depending on the DAW. I will likely make a video showing how it's done just to be sure.
@@mlsoundlab thank you very much. Becouse this is the sound I have been looking for years, and i want the extended version!!! By the way, I use Cubase 12 pro!!😊
@@mlsoundlab i had this same question. no need to answer mine. ill wait for the video on how to do multi-output.
No Kontakt and free? Wow guys, this is great!
Thank you so much!
Add some percs, and you'll have the perfect plugin!! A tambourine and of course... "more cowbell!!". Some might say you can do percussion separatelly, but having at least a Tambourine recorded in the same room helps a lot!
As I commented on another video, I would like to know how many velocity layers and round-robin samples for each layer there are? As soon as I know and I'm happy with the numbers I will buy it!
I currently use SSD 5.5, but have been open to trying others since committing there. I downloaded the trial and it was quick to load and not horrible on the CPU. The stock sounds are cool and the way you can manipulate them is also easy and innovative. I appreciate little things like auto-gain matching with one dial compression. Looks like you have the makings of a winner here. We'll see as I go further down this rabbit hole. One thing before I skate, I don't see any information on youtube yet on setting up multi-output. I've tried by selecting the 9 (stereo) option as opposed to stereo, but it makes no difference. Im sure there's something Im missing. Any direction there would be great.
Thank you so much for the interest Nate! Judging by the 9(stereo) option you're receiving, I assume you're on Logic Pro? If so, open up the Mixer tab, and hit the + button on the ML Drums channel to create new tracks. They'll all be pre-routed, you just have to name them accordingly (as you see them in the Mixer tab of ML Drums). If that doesn't solve it for you, let me know!
-Kai
@@mlsoundlab I should have known! Same way I currently do it with the SSD5.5. Thanks Kai. I just bought the rest of the ML kit and inserted a multi-output track into my song writing template. Really liking these ML Drums and I appreciate your response!
you aren't a setup master without a set of cans around your neck.. I'm wearing a set now even though I don't know what I'm doing! LOL!
But if you've got a set around your neck, you look like you know what you're doing, and that's half the battle
-Kai
Take my money!!👍
Enjoy! That high-tuned snare in the paid kit is a real shining star, hope you love it!
-Kai
Good drums, Great sound. Question: Will there be updates and will they be free for those who have purchased the paid version. And one more thing: I would like the mixer to visually reflect the impact level of each instrument separately, as well as how many dB the volume of each channel changes when the slider moves down or up.
Hey there! We're hoping for future updates to be free for the ML Drums Free users - these updates will likely coincide along with paid packs. Thanks for asking about it! We also appreciate your feedback regarding the mixer tab, thank you!
-Kai
How do you load the preset into Pro Tools without an AAXplugin file?
Not that it truly matters cuz it sounds phenomenal.... But . Is there a listing of what kit And cymbals were used?
I wish this was a stand-alone for iOS.
Thanks for the feedback Chris!
-Kai
Do the samples that come with Free and Essential have compression and/or EQ already applied?
Definitely worth $29!!!!
👍🏼😎🤘🏼
Thank you so much!
-Kai
Sure wish I knew how to play these with my little midi keyboard/pad controller.
Enable your MIDI controller in the Audio/MIDI settings tab of ML Drums, then open up the MIDI tab. You should be able to hit the record button next to each hit, follow up with the relevant pad on your controller and you'll be able to map your whole keypad like this. Let me know if you have any troubles with it!
-Kai
Keeping eyes out for the Logic Pro version. When is the Logic Pro coming?
It's fully compatible with Logic Pro already - you'll need to be running MacOS 10.15 or later, but if you are, then you should just be able to add ML Drums on a Software Instrument track on Logic!
-Kai
Just downloaded today.. is there no way to get to drum grooves inside the plugin?
Sounds great Mikko, but i cant use them, not running MacOS 10.15 unfortunately.
Sorry about that Nicolas, we appreciate your interest in it regardless!
-Kai
Шикарные барабаны! Хотел купить полную версию, но российская карта не проходит (((
Simplicity soft
Simplicity is king!
-Kai
Does the multi-channel output work under Reaper? I've set the routing, but audio is only playing from the Master L/R channels
Reaper should automatically prompt you to create new channels for each of the outputs, which you'll then see in the Mixer window. If not, you should be able to manually enable the outputs in the routing tab in the top-right corner of the plugin window (note: it's in Reaper's UI, just outside of the ML Drums UI). If you're stuck with it, drop us an email and we'll happily guide you through it some more!
-Kai
I just got the ML Drums Free version installed and it sounds really good. It's hard to believe that you are giving this away for free. Is there built in Help, or a Help PDF available? So far, I cannot find either. I know you say it is "easy," but it's always nice to have help available, just in case. Thank you!
Hey there!
Unfortunately we don't have a help section available yet, but we will be working on an FAQ page as soon as we've had some more time seeing what people need to know! What are you stuck with?
-Kai
@@mlsoundlab I am not stuck on anything, at this point, I just like to know HELP is available, in case I DO get stuck. Thank you.
works gj
Glad to hear that!
-Kai
May I ask how to actually get on to whatever software you have that actually allows you to write the tracks? I can’t figure out how to get there /:
You'll need to download a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in order to record and write these tracks. There's a range of DAWs available at different price points, common choices include Studio One, Reaper and Logic Pro X.
-Kai
Plugin sounds great! But when I plug in my Carlsbro Okto A, half the pads don’t trigger anything. Mainly the two toms and ride.
Im not good at this, how do I set that up?
Didnt have to do it before, since EZdrummer always had it set right away.
Open up the MIDI tab, then hit the record button next to the kit pieces that aren't working, followed by the relevant pieces on your kit. It should assign them from there, so you can then save it as your MIDI map. Let us know if that doesn't work for you though, we'll happily help you out some more!
-Kai
I’m not sure the SSD midi mapping is working as intended. I tried to use some MIDI from an SSD programmed part and it definitely didn’t come out correctly
Thanks for mentioning it! Unfortunately due to the nature of the kits having different pieces, the mapping will never line up perfectly, so grooves may have to be adjusted for the kit. That said, please let us know which kit pieces in particular aren't triggering properly and I'll see if we need to update the mapping!
-Kai
I downloaded the free version and not too long after, purchased the full version. One question - the desktop I had it installed on gave out and I redownloaded on my new one. The license key I had won't work. Do I have to purchase another one?
No need to repurchase, just shoot us an email at support@ml-sound-lab.com and we'll take care of it!
-Kai
producer's version? I just want to make sure I get the right one for .
There's only two versions of ML Drums right now - ML Drums Free, and ML Drums Essentials. They both feature the same controls in the mixer tab, so either one will have the same applications in a professional environment. Hope this answered your question for you!
-Kai
Please make a mike portnoy kit expansion with his signature melody master snare
Thanks for asking about it, we appreciate it!
-Kai
Sounds great... I love the functionalities and options... Just wish there were more kits around with roto toms and octobons. How you guys do one😁
We're always going to be considering new packs, so thank you for the feedback!
-Kai
ML Synth next then? 👀
Either that or panpipes 👀
-Kai
I would like to make some pop ballad around tempo 60. If there is any kit in ML drum good for this Genre🙇🏻♂️?
Hey there! I'd recommend trying out the free kit to see if that fits what you're after - if not, it's possible that we'll be releasing something more suited to this application in the future!
-Kai
Hi, is it possible to change the pitch for each sound? You can customize the dynamics for each sound! It is possible to assign the snare drum to two midi notes at the same time, thanks.
Not currently possible to change the pitch of each hit, but the MIDI tab allows you to assign each hit to two different MIDI notes in the way you're hoping!
-Kai
@@mlsoundlab Thank!
How do I open it as a stand alone? I can get it to run through Presonus but not as a stand alone. I hope I'm asking the question correctly. But yeah I can get the app to open and I can hit the drums, but no sequencer or map. Do I have to download one? Sorry for the dumb questions but I'm slowly getting away from my tascam, or I would like to send my beats to my tascam. One or the other. Lol. Your product is awesome and I am purchasing the expansion pack.
Hey Jeff! There's no pre-loaded beats in the standalone ML Drums, you'll need to use something external to trigger it, such as a MIDI controller or E-Kit. The only way for ML Drums to read readymade beats is using MIDI patterns in your DAW.
-Kai
@@mlsoundlab thank you, actually I'm trying to get the step sequencer to come up. The kit comes up.
i have soft soft trial version .7.1
Sorry if I'm being stupid, but do you use a real electronic drum set with this or no?
You can do! You can also use a MIDI pad/keyboard, or you can plumb them in manually using the Piano Roll in a DAW.
-Kai
I'm having issues running my license on my new MacBook it won't accept my license, how does this get fixed?

Hey Mikko Can you drag n drop other third party drum samples???
Unfortunately that's not something we're able to offer at this time, but we can consider it as a potential feature for a future update!
-Kai
Can you route each drum to a channel in the DAW?
Yes you can! We did a video covering this in most DAWs, check it out here: ruclips.net/video/7NZ-AA-p-U4/видео.html
-Kai
Tried this with my edrums... One problem I had was with mapping the hi hat controls...
Sorry about that Oliver, this is something we're looking to amend in future versions of ML Drums. Thanks for checking it out!
-Kai
Just how do you use it in GarageBand and Logic if I may ask?
If you're on MacOS10.15 or later, it should be a pretty simple procedure - just run the installer for ML Drums, then add the plugin as a software instrument on your project. If you have any issues getting it all set up, you're welcome to drop us an email through the contact form on our site, where we'll be able to guide you further.
-Kai
It works, thanks!! :)
bought the full license after using the free version. I keep getting a message that says Unable to install license
Shoot us an email using the contact form on our site, we'll be happy to take care of the issue for you
-Kai
I bought the paid version ... But I can't figure out how to install it ...
Just copy and paste your license key from your order email into the Shop tab of ML Drums and it should unlock everything for you!
-Kai
what is the latency for connecting to a edrum set?
Latency should be super minimal as this plugin has a fairly light CPU load, though this will depend on your machine.
-Kai
ikr
Hi, how do you use the learn funtion?
After enabling your MIDI controller in the settings menu of ML Drums, hit the MIDI learn button next to each kit piece in the MIDI tab, followed by the relevant hit on your MIDI controller. After that, you can save the map to recall it later.
-Kai
Did he co back tho
