Sound On Sound have been extremely complimentary about AC-DR in their March 2024 issue. Mark Gordon wrote the review:

“I absolutely love AC‑DR! All the sounds have been created organically, whether recorded via microphone, passed through an analogue processor or given character in a physical space. The raw sound‑sources are beautifully recorded, and the various methods and ingenuity used to create them results in a huge palette of unique source material to work with. The way in which each element can be manipulated beyond imagination is endlessly creative and incredibly addictive, and this is where the lines blur between acoustic and electronic. The fact that the instrument is based entirely on samples of natural acoustic drums appeals to the drummer in me, but you can also create the most remarkable ‘electronic’ sounds. In combination with the comprehensive beat creation tools that lend themselves to the more mechanical side of drumming, the AC‑DR can indeed ‘emulate classic drum machines of the past’ but it is much, much more than that — and very much worth adding to your VI arsenal.”
