After nearly a decade, the epic sequel to the iconic original has finally arrived. Damage 2 is here to, once again, melt your face off. It’s the epic ensembles recorded at Skywalker Sound. It’s the aggressively Damaged hybrid elements. It’s the 860+ gut-punching loops. It’s the truly-realistic crescendos, swells, and flourishes of the MIDI performance tool. It’s the three discrete engines with unique and inspiring workflows. This orchetral drums VST pack's all the things that made the original Damage great, except bigger, badder, and better. Welcome to the next generation of percussion virtual instruments.
Epic Sources
Damage 2 is brimming with over 40,000 samples, and nearly 60 GB’s of pure percussive inspiration. The Heavyocity team brought in truckloads of drums and percussive elements for the D2 Sessions; an arsenal of 24” to 72” gran casas, 24” to 60” Taikos, huge bass drums, giant snare ensembles, toms, ethnic drums, a myriad of struck found sound elements. Heck, we even rolled a dumpster onto the world-class scoring stage at Skywalker Sound. And now, these nearly-1600 sources have been placed into your hands -- with five discrete mic channels (Close, Room, Hall, LFE, and CRUSH), and a highly-customizable performance and effects engine. The stage is set...now go forth, and Damage AGAIN!
Aggressively Damaged
Did you ever expect we’d release Damage 2 without a healthy dose of brutal impacts, visceral transitions, and devastating hits? We didn’t either. That’s why this cinematic drums VST comes ready to attack, with hundreds of Hybrid and Damaged sources, processed and mangled by the award-winning Heavyocity team. If you’ve ever reached for the aggressive and epic elements from the first Heavyocity Damage, then consider D2 a replenishing of the essentials. Make sure no matter what your next project is -- cue, track, or trailer -- it hits with the full power of Damage 2.

Ensemble Designer
Built for maximum playability and unparalleled epic sound, the Ensemble Designer is the cinematic centerpiece of Damage 2. Start with the intuitive Browser, which makes loading the giant collection of individual and custom-designed banks of sources quick and easy. Got your sources ready? Start dialing them in with five discrete mic positions (including an analog “CRUSH” mic and a low frequency “LFE” channel), and instant 3D positioning on the updated Stage. Next up, try your hand creating truly-realistic patterns, rolls, crescendos, swells, and more with the unprecedented MIDI performance tool. And what would Damage 2 be without your old friend PUNISH, this time with three distinct flavors -- Gently Now, Hurt Me Plenty, and Nightmare -- for when you really want to dial in the devastation.
Kit Designer
In the years we spent developing Damage 2, we made the firm decision that inflicting Damage wasn’t going to be just for composers and our 88 weighted keys. Thus, the Kit Designer was born. Consider it a producer’s playground, with its 16-voice Drum Kit layout designed to integrate seamlessly with Maschine, MPC-type, and Standard MIDI kit control schemes. Those of you exclusively on keyboard controllers shouldn’t feel left out, the Kit Designer’s sounds are completely MIDI Note assignable, and the independent FX chains for each voice -- complete with compression, reverb, saturation, and more -- provide a ripe canvas for deep sound design and experimentation. Over 50 kit snapshots, stylized in Hybrid and Damaged categories, are great starting points for inspiring total track destruction.
Loop Designer
Damage loops have become the stuff of legends in artist, producer, and composer circles, so the Heavyocity team took the task of creating the D2 loops extremely seriously. Who doesn’t have a story where a Damage loop bailed you out from a fast-approaching deadline? The 864 tempo-synced loops in Damage 2 are built to be equally usable and equally inspiring. Covering Organic, Hybrid, and Damaged sound profiles in straight and triplet meters, Damage 2’s reimagined Loop Designer makes creating unique and immersive percussion beds almost too easy. When you’re ready to start tweaking, dial up the Modwheel to engage the Unique Send FX layer, allowing you to add modulation and effects to each loop. Build your own FX chain, and make the loops your own. Turn on the Modulation table to sequence the movement for even greater control. When time is tight, and you need percussion, Damage 2 will answer the call.

"Oh my Lord. This is amazing. The virtual sound stage sounds fantastic. The Taikos are thunderous. Everything is so tight, so polished. This has all the best. Damage 2 covers so much more of the acoustic, as well as giving you a lot of what Damage 1 was famous for. Definitely going to be on most all of my stuff, I’m sure. You guys did it again…amazing."
"As a big fan of the original Damage, I had high expectations for the sequel, and yet it still completely blew me away. Damage 2 is a massive leap forward, it sets a very high standard for cinematic percussion libraries. I did not expect such an extensive collection of organic drums, all of which sound amazing. Honestly, you could stop there and have a fantastic library...but there's also a huge collection of new hybrid “Damaged” sounds, which no one does better than Heavyocity. And I love the new interface, it’s super easy to navigate around and customize things quickly, which I really appreciate when I’m deep in writing mode. Damage 2 is easily one of the best cinematic percussion libraries out there. Heavyocity I am a fan for life, you folks are mad geniuses."

"Damage 2 is a remarkable achievement! Not only has Heavyocity created an endless supply of inspiring sounds to choose from, but they've also made a beautiful and feature-rich engine with which to manipulate them. The recorded material and sound design is stunning. The new addition and implementation of the swells, flams, rolls, and repeats are ingenious! I'm hard-pressed to think of a library that is this versatile and, at the same time, so intuitive. All the hard work has been done, and I can just sit down and be creative!"

“I’ve been anticipating this release for a long time, and it does not disappoint. Every single sample has such depth, clarity, and life that it feels as though you’re on the stage with that performer. There is no shortage of variety. In addition to the standard single hits, the transitions and hybrid elements are incredibly useful tools.”

"I’ve used the original Damage library on pretty much everything. On video game work like Deus Ex but also my own record, Doomsday. With Damage 2, the Heavyocity guys have set a new standard in percussion libraries. The punch, the clarity and the new mix options are mind-blowing. Of course, since I like my sounds crunchy, you can shape the drums at your hearts desire with a ton of new options. In short: Damage 2 is a must-own for any cinematic composer."

"Damage 2 is insane! It's a new benchmark in production quality that gives us easy access to sound manipulation allowing for an infinite number of ways to custom craft a sound into your cues and songs. The overwhelming power of the hits is exactly what is needed to accent moments with a strong punch. The performances are organized brilliantly for quick inspiration, which is crucial in heavy writing situations and the interface is intuitive. Loving Damage 2 at our studios right now."

"As a big fan of the first release and with high expectations, I was still shocked by how great Damage 2 came out! It's almost ridiculous how well designed and perfect sounding this is.
For the working composer who needs to get shit done, this is hands down the best percussion library out there. The synergy between time-synched and individual elements is groundbreaking!"

"Damage 2 is right up my alley, but besides being a worthy successor to the Damage throne, it’s so much more. Along with the expected ultra-hard hybrid style hits and processed loops, the organic and ethnic percussion side is hugely expanded, with a massive selection of drums that are impossible to find and difficult to record. The control I get from the front panel allows me to craft my mixes from natural-sounding to way bigger than life, and the perspective mixer and kit builder features let me work with exactly the mix of sounds I want in a single Kontakt instance. It’s no surprise that Damage 2 is an absolute must-have for modern film composers."

"Damage 2 is a deep library and is an instant ‘go to’ for me as a composer. The ability to work with loops, single hits and ensembles, as well as being able to drop source samples in, makes this an indispensable tool. I am blown away by the sheer range of instruments available, both organic and processed, and the amount of velocity layers make this the most naturally playable percussion library available. Also, the sound quality of Damage 2 is sublime. From the instruments selected to the natural room sound and the highest quality signal path, this library sounds absolutely incredible.”

Damage 2 is my new go to ensemble percussion library for big, bold and detailed drums. Thanks team Heavyocity!”

"As soon as I heard Damage 2 was coming out, I got chills. This is the library I've been waiting for for 10 years. Going through the sounds of Damage 2 - they're just incredible. They're organic and raw when you want them to be, and they're dirty, grungy, and distorted when you need them to be. And you have all the control in the world. Heavyocity has a way of making their drums and percussion sound so punchy - they just cut through your mix, no matter what you have going on. Damage 2 will be in everything I do from here on out."

"With Damage 2, Heavyocity has raised the bar for cinematic percussion. It’s way more than an instrument – it’s a full-on creative environment. Damage 2 encompasses a huge range of sounds and applications with a deep interface that inspires you to create original musical signatures with ease. The sonic quality is gorgeous, full, and detailed. The Ensemble and Kit Designer open up awesome performance-oriented features and sound design options. I also love the refined spatial articulation of the Stage, and the way you can customize patches in the Loop Designer, from the waveform level to stacking and stutter to sequence-modulated effects. Heavyocity is the best at designing musical tools that are extensively programmable and also incredibly fun to work with. You can just dive in and start creating. Whether you are scoring film, TV, games, or trailers, Damage 2 is truly a home run."

The sounds included are just as massive and powerful as the ones featured in the original Damage, but the choice between different instruments, articulations, and percussive elements is much higher. Damage 2 is truly a worthy successor and long-awaited update to the original best-seller. This sample library hits the mark on bringing massive organic percussion and brutal, hybrid sound design to the year 2020. It won’t be long before we will hear those sounds in probably every action blockbuster trailer!" Read the Full Review

"Overall, I have to say that I'm really, really impressed with this library. Damage 1 has been part of my template and a big part of other peoples templates for at least 10 years. So it's really nice to have an upgraded version of that where everything just feels bigger, fuller, and it's still got that punchy-sorta style that it's always had. I think apart from the upgrade in sound and tone, I just really like the workflow improvements as well. It's going to be really fun creating my own presets and trying out different combos together. I think the Kit Designer in here is great and I'm going to get a lot of use out of it. In short, it's awesome!" Watch the Full Review
