Stackshots: Bobby Huff Producer Pack

STACKSHOTS: Bobby Huff delivers an arsenal of pre-mixed samples and standalone mix elements (called “ingredients”) brimming with energy and attitude, including:

• Mutt Lange-inspired 80s kicks, snares & toms – featuring that explosive 80s/90s radio-rock sound that launched artists like Def Leppard and Bryan Adams into the multi-platinum stratosphere. Dr. Bob has faithfully recreated these revered tones and layered them with select 1-shots from our own Black Oyster kit to create “bigger than life” drum hits.
• Andy Wallace-style white noise bursts – gritty, cutting, and that “missing something” you don’t realize you need until you add it in. Some of the most-searched mix techniques online relate to Andy Wallace’s snares — and Bobby has captured one of his signature tricks in this collection. These layers blend seamlessly with Black Oyster samples, and are also included as standalone “ingredients” you can drop onto any source. By themselves, they're just some white noise. Mixed with hard hitting snares, they're that mixing ingredient. They give any snare that extra energy and drive thats needed for rock and hard rock.
• Randy Staub-inspired punchy kicks & snares – His work with Bob Rock was legendary, and Bobby has recreated his signature sonics and tricks from roomy "Black Album"-inspired kicks to ringy snare samples that just fit perfectly with our Black Oyster maple snare, they're here.
• Massive FX – explosions, cannons, and cavernous reverb tails that elevate your productions to “Dr. Feelgood” status. Wide and spacious, your kicks and snares will stand out for sure.

While designed to seamlessly layer with your Black Oyster Kontakt kit for ultimate sonic depth, these samples also work brilliantly as standalone elements with any drum library or live kit.

Drop them into your session, layer them with your favorite virtual drums, or replace lackluster recordings — and watch your drums transform from “fine” to formidable.

The secret behind massive, modern drum mixes? Stacking. Producers and mixers layer hand-picked 1-shot samples under real drums (or virtual kits) to add weight, punch, and consistency — without sacrificing feel. Even the best-recorded kits get reinforced, because a well-placed 1-shot can make a snare crack harder, a kick hit deeper, or toms explode with energy. STACKSHOTS™ gives you that same pro-level advantage — a curated set of powerful hits designed to lock perfectly with Drumatica drums.

Think of STACKSHOTS™ as your short cut to getting what the pros, like Mutt Lange, Andy Wallace, Bob Rock, Randy Staub and Chris & Tom Lord-Alge utilize in their mixes to perfection, only you don't need to be a wizard at the console to achieve the same results.

And with STACKSHOTS: Bobby Huff, you get more than just “one flavor” of enhancement. You’ll find multiple stacks for kicks, snares, and toms — each with distinct character and tone — plus a full complement of reverb-soaked transients you can blend in to taste. From subtle room lift and tight ’80s gated slap to over-the-top cannons and cinematic explosions, you control how big your drums can get.

When most people think of 1-shots, they think of the transient — the impact of a stick on a drum. But when you layer two strong transients together, they often compete for space and cancel out the punch.

That’s why STACKSHOTS includes Reverb Tail 1-shots along with transients and hits.

Reverb Tail 1-shot samples are where the ambience is the star — the boom, the bloom, the massive sense of space — without another transient getting in the way. You can layer these tails behind your main direct snare, kick, or tom sound to create a bigger, wider drum tone while preserving clarity and punch.

This gives you precise control over the ambience of each drum:

• Snares can explode like canons
• Kicks can stay tight and dry to keep the low end focused
• Toms can have their own reverb personality — from stadium to stone room

It’s a pro-mixer trick, now made easy for anyone: Punch from the transient. Size from the tail. Together = a layered, powerful kit that commands the speaker space.

STACKSHOTS lets you shape that sound effortlessly inside the Black Oyster 1-Shot Editor — tune it, shorten it, push it up in the mix or tuck it just under the hit.

Your kit, your 'verb, your rules.
