MODO DRUM is a groundbreaking physical modeling drum virtual instrument that delivers an unprecedented level of realism and customization. Developed by IK Multimedia, this software combines modal synthesis with advanced sampling techniques to create drums that respond authentically to playing style, material properties, and acoustic environments. Users gain real-time control over every aspect of each drum, including size, tension, and material, as well as cymbal tuning and damping, enabling the creation of highly detailed and expressive drum tracks. The software operates both as a plug-in and standalone application, catering to musicians across all genres.

Featuring 10 meticulously crafted drum kits inspired by various styles and shell materials, MODO DRUM offers a wide palette of sounds ranging from jazz to grunge. The customization options are extensive, allowing users to modify individual drums by adjusting skins, tuning, shell profiles, and sympathetic vibrations, while cymbals can also be finely shaped. Beyond kit construction, the software includes a Play Style section where the nuances of drum performance can be tailored, such as hit location, stick type, and cymbal articulation. An infinite round robin system ensures dynamic and natural-sounding performances that never repeat exactly.

MODO DRUM enhances creativity further with its Room section, providing various acoustic settings that influence drum interaction and ambiance, from intimate booths to large halls. The integrated mixer offers comprehensive control over individual elements, with buses, sends, and a suite of 19 professional effects derived from IK's renowned T-RackS and AmpliTube suites, ensuring polished and versatile sound shaping. Additionally, the built-in Groove manager presents over 1400 MIDI grooves spanning diverse styles and moods, facilitating quick song construction and inspiration. This combination of detailed sound design and creative tools makes MODO DRUM a powerful instrument for realistic and expressive drum programming.
