EastWest Ministry of Rock 2
Guitar, Bass, and Acoustic Drum Kit Virtual Instruments
As Close as You'll Get to Tracking Live
Ministry Of Rock 2 was put together with one goal in mind: to create a virtual instrument capable of producing sounds that could actually produce a hit record or film score without any live drum, bass, or guitar overdubs.
To put a raging collection of guitars, drums and basses in your hands without the limits of location or budget.
To give you the power to track an entire rock band with impeccable authenticity, all within your DAW.
Legendary Gear and Performers
Recorded at the legendary EastWest Studios, Ministry Of Rock 2 features some of the industry's top players like Shane Gibson (guitarist with Korn), Greg Suran (guitarist with the B-52s, Goo Goo Dolls), Doug Rappaport (guitarist with Edgar Winter), and Tal Bergman (drummer with Billy Idol, LL Cool J, Rod Stewart).
The drums were captured with vintage and modern gear from Neve, Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Manley, Fairchild, Royer, Chandler and Meitner.
Repetition samples were recorded for everything as well as extreme dynamics and three mic positions for drums (close + room, or close + compressed room) to dial in the desired sound and an ultra-realistic performance.
Any drum from any kit can be selected to create a new custom kit, plus there are 6 additional snare drums to choose from.

Guitars
A collective powerhouse of rock, metal and grunge, every one of these guitars was hand-picked for historical relevance, attitude, and a general ability to skillfully handle technical performances.
Basses
Every single one of these has a unique attitude and placement in the annals of bass ministry. Some of the basses in this collection have been decommissioned and are nearly impossible to obtain today!
Drums
Recorded with a wide variety of velocity layers, you can play back every ounce of attitude as the professional drummers who were recorded to bring this drum collection to life. The result is a high-energy but honest sound that rivals a professional live performance.
