“Ahhh yes, those ambitious and creative people at Heavyocity have outdone themselves once again. Certainly the raw sounds that this thing serves up have an arresting depth and clarity that is hard to ignore, but it is the flexible way that one can manipulate said sounds that appeals to me the most. About as user friendly as one could possibly hope for. Nice one, you Damage(d) people. Top stuff indeed!”

“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.”

"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 an extremely versatile library that is intuitive and fun to play with. I don’t find myself needing other percussive plugins to achieve what I’m going for. The way it's laid out between ensembles, kits, and loops, with multiple levels of tweakability, make it a very efficient tool for many uses. The demo I made is literally me going through each section, exploring its capabilities, and having fun. Cinematic, organic, processed, loops, kits...it's all there."

"Damage 2 elevates cinematic percussion with its phenomenal collection of organic and enhanced percussive sounds. When crystal clear, punchy, and energetic drums are needed, Damage 2 delivers."

"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."

"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!"

"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." Don't just take his word for it, try Heavyocity's Damage 2 yourself!

"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."

"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 unique and contains an explosion of sounds that are ready to play in stereo and surround. As soon as I opened the library, I was able to incorporate it into my template. It’s big, boomy, and bright. The percussion sounds are unique, full of colorful textures. articulations and mallet options. Ensemble Designer is wonderful for building your own personal sound. The Kit Designer is easy to use and provides endless options for kits. Being able to create my own hybrid kit was quick and easy. Damage 2 is my new go to ensemble percussion library for big, bold and detailed drums. Thanks team Heavyocity!”

"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.”

"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."

"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."

"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."
