Drum Workshop, Inc. (DW) expands its premium virtual studio instrument and drum sample library, DW Soundworks®with the launch of Metal Legacy 2. The expansion pack’s new set of sounds and custom presets makes the workflow more aggressive than ever.
The DW Soundworks® creator-first ecosystem is designed for maximum versatility, flexibility, and expandability to help producers, drummers, multi-instrumentalists, and sound engineers achieve just the right sound for any given track. Full of bright attack, punch, and thick tone, the new Metal Legacy 2 Expansion Pack helps users sharpen their drum tracks when recording heavy metal, djent, and thrash songs, delivering a brutal, driving sound.

Metal Legacy 2 is the heaviest collection DW Soundworks® has ever assembled. Designed around one idea: getting the right sound quickly and without compromise, it has been built to sit in dense, heavy mixes and still cut through. Its new set of high-fidelity samples and eighteen custom presets lean hard into attack and low-end weight and give bass drums some actual kick. This latest expansion pack produces the kind of drum sounds that drive a track rather than simply keep time.
“With Metal Legacy 2, we aren’t just adding more sounds, we’re adding more impact. This pack is for the people who need their drums to hit like a heavyweight,” said Mike Sutton, DWe Brand Manager.
