When to use it
Modern & Massive 2 is aimed squarely at modern metal and hard rock producers who want drums that mix well with little work. Its kit choice and groove library are much larger than the single-drummer Matt Garstka Signature Drums.
- Genres: modern metal, djent, hard rock and heavy progressive music.
- Look elsewhere if: you want a softer acoustic kit.
Where to buy
