The Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 Platinum Drum-Replacement Plug-in is an industry-standard solution for replacing or enhancing live drum tracks with big, polished, mix-ready drum sounds.

Whether you need to reinforce a kick, rescue a snare, tighten up toms, or build powerful layered drum tones, Trigger 2 Platinum gives engineers a fast, flexible way to get professional results without losing the feel of the original performance. Trigger 2 Platinum uses a phase-accurate, multi-layer triggering engine that can trigger up to eight stereo samples at once, allowing you to blend close mics, overheads, rooms, and direct drum samples into natural, full-bodied drum tones. Its built-in sample mixer lets you shape each layer with independent controls, making it easy to create anything from subtle drum reinforcement to full-on modern drum replacement. Designed for real-world mixing, Trigger 2 Platinum includes leakage suppression to help reduce mis-triggers from bleed, a transient-driven gate for precise track cleanup, MIDI input/output support, and a large Steven Slate drum sample library featuring kicks, snares, and toms recorded and processed through high-end analog gear.

    The library sounds great, and some of the set-up is easy. The instructions are not very clear especially regarding suppression. A better manual would have made this 5 stars.

    I didn't recieve my authorization, called the very helpful support staff, and while I was on the phone I thought to check my spam folder and there it was. Easy purchase otherwise, no thanks to Gmail for screwing with your spam filter algorithms again.

    Quick route to Pro Drums
    Kevin Seelbach

    I record my band in a home studio with pretty decent gear, room treatment, and a great pro drummer. Before buying Slate trigger I built sub mics for the kick, I have a Beta 52, toms/snare are miced with 57/58 and a pair of LDC on OH duty. We could get decent quality recordings with this setup but mixes required a ton of work and processing to get a thick kit sound. Trigger, in my brief use ( a few weeks ), has allowed me to quickly swap the individual drum hits with GREAT sounding samples. It is a drastic improvement in the overall sound of our recordings. I don't see much need for buying expensive drum mics anymore, except to capture the OH / room.

What We Think

Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 Platinum is an absolute must-have and, honestly, one of the most powerful and useful tools in the digital audio world today. While in the studio, whether we’re blending triggered samples with live mics, fully replacing drums, or fixing problem areas like hi-hat bleed in a snare track, Trigger just gets it done—and fast. Setup is quick, the workflow is intuitive, and the ultra-low latency makes it feel immediate and responsive, even in demanding sessions. The samples themselves are top notch, and with the ability to tweak, layer, and build custom sounds, the creative potential is huge. Add in the massive Steven Slate sample library that comes with the Platinum version, and you’ve got an incredibly deep and flexible drum solution at your fingertips. We don’t always replace drums—but when we do, we reach for Trigger every time. Options are power, my friends.
