Just Add Drums has announced that their free version of Just Add Modern Drums will be released on Black Friday, meaning you should join the waiting list to secure your copy as the offer ends soon.
Just Add Drums creates drum collections loved by bedroom producers and trusted by professionals. Many of them are discounted right now, so it is worth looking through the catalog.
In celebration of Black Friday and the upcoming release of the new and improved Just Add Modern Drums, Chris and Jack (the duo behind Just Add Drums) have decided to release a free version.
Just Add Modern Drums Free is compatible with the Native Instruments Kontakt Player.
To claim your copy of Just Add Modern Drums Free, head to the website and join the waiting list.
At the time of writing, around 7000 licenses are available (October 30, 2025), but they are going fast.
If that isn’t enough to create a mad panic, the waiting list closes tomorrow (October 31, 2025).
So, this is your last call to get the latest free drum instrument from Just Add Drums; run, now!.
There isn’t much information about the free version’s features, but the Master page of the interface appears to match the paid version.
Your Kick, Snare, Toms, and Cymbals each have dedicated Attack settings and high and low-shelf filters.
You also have a Master Effects section with compression, saturation, and reverb.
It looks like we’ll have access to dedicated drum pages featuring multi-output routing, mic controls, and tuning options.
Don’t quote me on the assumptions above, but it seems we’re just missing the Advanced page from the premium version, with MIDI mapping options and advanced mic controls.
What I can say for sure is that the kit sounds awesome.
Again, I’m unsure whether the freebie will offer the same variations of each drum and articulation as the premium version (open, dampened, snare cross stick, etc.), but it sounds full of life.
It’s ideal for songwriters who want to record demos with drums that sound real, natural, and not over-processed.
If you miss out on this offer, it sucks, but don’t be too disheartened; there are plenty of amazing deals to be had at this time of year, including a massive 91% discount on Objeq Delay by Applied Acoustic Systems.
