The New King of Epic Percussion? So much more than an upgrade, Damage 2 topples its predecessor off the thrown with a massive collection of content, excellent sonic impact, and innovative performance functionality.

Heavyocity kicked things up a notch or two with this release. The options are out of this world.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts paul , I agree
I've never seen a drum library programmed this way - I feel this library has all you need for your compositions - It's dynamic, it's a complete one stop shop in my opinion. Wow! its fantastic. Thank you so much for the review on this one
Hey David, my pleasure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
"All the trailer composers just need to change their underwear that this point" Pretty much
always happy to entertain FPH :)
Sample Library Review Thanks for all the great vids! Yeah, this thing is amazing, I’m going to use it in everything. Trailer editor here ;)
@@chappie7123 You are very welcome. And THAKYOU for the lol with your screen name :)
Cool Industrial Library, both the first and second!)
Thanks for this vid. Absolutely great and also very usefull. I love it when an instrument is a tool in itself and not just a libary with samples. And that is exactly what Damage 2 is!
Im Always pleased when the videos are helpful and useful Ruud . Thanks for your comment and support
Thanks for the great run through Don - seems like this is strong in the epic orchestral department as well as the hybrid/smashy stuff! (technical term)
Haha hybrid smashy will be the name of my first sound design library! Lol thanks Daniel
Wowwwww I'm amazed especially with those jawdropping loops
Thanks for sharing Gautam
I made my choice and invested in Slate + Ash's Auras + Cycles bundle, thinking my purchases were finished for the year. Now I will not stop watching how much fun you're having so I can stick to my budget. :)
Sorry Brad, I’ll delete the video ASAP as I don’t want you to break the budget! (Kidding) ;)
@@SampleLibraryReviews No worries! haha ... I did add it to my list for future consideration so mission accomplished on your part. :)
Thanks Don.....awesome first look! Following an early morning purchase I've been having a first look of my own...this instrument is AMAZING! Wonderful!
Awesome Pete! I am sure you are going to get a lot out of this one
Decided to spare myself my usual agonizing mental exercise of should I or shouldn't I and decided who am I kidding? Downloading now.
I don’t think you will be disappointed pb
I did the same lol
Lol, trying not to download it but not going to make it. Looks too good.
Trying it right now. It covers (perfectly) so many genres that globaly I can throw away all my percs libraries now.. I'm left with mixed feelings, sadness (deleting my previous libraries) and happiness (having a blast with D2). Only an amazing library can do this to you right ? Or a woman maybe ? Ok I'm taking it too far now ;) Amazing library (once again). Thank you so much for the review Don !
Oh Heck ya!!!! This would have to come out "AFTER" I wrap up my latest project. BUT, I think I'll go back in after the mix is done and find some Damage 2 ear candy.
Picked this up today as I already own Native Instruments Komplete 12 Ultimate and you get the upgrade price. So pretty nice deal
The upgrade piece is half price NI is only 20% off
@@handoromper7987 Sorry, my mistake
I currently have komplete 12 Ultimate, so do I need to type in my serial number? I have damage one.
Don't know if there's such a thing as too much confusing (where was that sound again?) choice, but if that's possible, this is it...
I feel like everything has too much reverb. Maybe I'm wrong but it do sound like even low elements that don't need reverb naturally have too much reverb, and that is no no when mixing.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
At the end this is amazing library, and as I can heard it is already heavily processed with compression, saturation, EQ and so on. So this will save some time when producing. Thanks for reviewing it, amazing 👍🏻
@@corinasechelariu1307 I was not sure since I never used damage 2. Thanks!
It is the sound of the room it was recorded in, you can eq that out
holy fuck lol, the hairs on my arms are standing up.
Native Instruments has a sale on this and lots of others until Feb 8th, get it while you can.
Woo damage 2 is a monument, love it !And how many kontakt librairies do you own ? (Juste m'y curiosity)
hHey Chemf, agreed! Hard to say . . I have about 14TB of libraries and instrument and I would guess 80% are Kontakt ;)
@@SampleLibraryReviews Wo, great collection, i can't imagine another company as Big as kontakt. And keep it up, really like your reviews ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)
I finally got it!
Thanks 👍 very good
thanks for such great demo... the performance section itself is "speechless"...
Glad you liked it!
LOL 08:29 "All the trailer composers need to change their underwear"
good to hear your voice. Thanks for the review
You are welcome Jonathan
Always good to see your reviews :) Hope your well Don !!!
Hey Darren thanks for the support. Doing my best to stay healthy
OMG, think I'm going to have to just screw up my budget this month :) This thing is AWESOME! I thought PercX was good, but wow.....
Hey Michael, sorry about your budget ;)
Is it 2021 already? LOL Great review! :)
Hahaha thanks Sean. I guess my brain was time traveling
Been waiting for this one, MASSIVE!!! Cheers Don!
Awesome! Thanks Bradfordian
Sounds Great! GUI looks cool.
this library is on the level
Thanx Don 👍🏻
Thank you Don, for this great review!
Thanks for the comment and support Radio Silence Records!
Great Instrument and great presentation here!
Thanks. Got it :-)
Thanks for the support Ivan so glad the video was helpful
hearing your giggles made me sold! Also at 20:09 I'm getting the tingles
TAKE. MY. MONEY. HEAVYOCITY! ;)
Ends up like damage 1
Fabulous ...thanks !
You are welcome Cubic
I'm probably alone in this opinion, but the Kit Designer's processed single-samples are such a step down compared to the deep, multi-samples found in the first half of the video. I guess we're getting extra milage out of the samples they've already got but I think beats performed using the Kit Designer would benefit from round robins and velocity layers.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Benedict
I don't own damage 1,which one do you recommend if I can only afford one ?
Damage 2 hands down!
Awesome 3000 times!! Its what i was looking for 👹❤️☕
Sounds great!
Agreed!
@@SampleLibraryReviews Yeah. I need to find a contest so I can win a copy. LOL
Do you need kontakt to run damage?
Damage 2 runs in the FREE version of Kontakt and an download of the free version is usually included
@@SampleLibraryReviews great thank u for replying
Surely there's some other kind of visual representation of damage other than the inside of a diaper?
lol
Shmoopy Shaboopy , well, I’m not a parent - but even I know that those little ones can do quite some DAMAGE to their diapers... And to your ears, if you don’t change them on time. 😜
I Love all the Heavyocity products, especially the Damage ones. My humble rescore of Damage 2 trailer, as part of Metapop's "Heaviest Score Challenge 2022", notably using some provided samples from Damage 2 and Symphonic destruction: ua-cam.com/video/n9DfJQHqFLg/v-deo.html
Sound perfect but enormous PCU use.
Lordy!
haha now that is a one-word-review!
Take my money damn
Yeeesss!!!!!!
Hi Anthony Volpe, thanks for the support :)
Sounds just like damage 1
Not at all
daaaang
well said Licinius!
@@SampleLibraryReviews those loops, oh sh1t!
I guess if you’re into cinematic effects, it’s good. But for singing and music, very limited appeal.
Trailer music is so homogenized and generic sounding, and with this new tool, we can all sound even more the same as each other. Yaay for total unoriginality.
I mean ... that's the business today. If you want to work don't be original. If you can't beat them, join them. I will not die on the hill of musical originality. That's bad for business.
@@DavidLaChanceJr In other words, if you truly love music, stay out of the music biz.
People are basically stealing from each other all the time in this genere. All the way from melody to the drum sounds. It's ridiculous when someone is making trailer or epic music and they say I'm original lol 😂
If I go out and take melody and song structure from 12 songs, and make an album, no one would notice anything because everything is oversaturated. Everything is same, and every song sounds the same.
Kudos to everyone who is truly making original music in this genere.
I am torrenting this library right now :D
This is a bit off topic but I would really appreciate it if you could give a very short, one sentence summary for each of these 5 choirs as they are on their own and again how they compare against each other. I'm leaning toward one of these 5 picks but I'm open to other suggestions as well. I'm not really sure which ones were released when with possibly better/newer features. Ease of use is important as well. Spending excessive amounts of time programming a part is something I want to avoid. Thank you so much! Love the channel!
