This massive collection represents the most powerful and comprehensive epic trailer and scoring percussion library we have ever recorded. Featuring over 40 drums and more than a dozen cymbals of all shapes and sizes, with both ensemble and solo articulations and up to 3 independent microphone positions per articulation, this library is your total solution for epic percussion orchestration. Recorded in a naturally rich and lush spacious AFrame hall using world class large-diaphragm microphones and pristine ultra-quiet recorders, we carefully mixed and mastered each sample to deliver explosive power, unmatched acoustic quality, wide dynamic range, and stunning life-like clarity and presence.
We returned to our favorite hall in the Oakland foothills over a two week period, recording late into the night. With a truckload of drums at our disposal and every kind of stick, mallet and blunt instrument we could lay our hands on, we set to our brutal task. Once the blood and wood chips had cleared, we had captured an average of 12 round-robin variations per velocity layer and a broad range of stick and mallet positions for both solo and ensemble sets. We then painstakingly programmed each instrument with multiple independent mic positions, allowing you to play each perspective independently, or blend them in real-time to just the perfect balance, using our custom mixing features.
We also designed several powerful tools to allow you to personalize the library to your needs, with the ability to design your own custom divisi and full ensembles on the fly, with full control over mix, pan, tuning and more. These features allow you to use just the resources you need, while creating the perfect keyboard layout for your personal work-flow. With standard attack, release, pitch shifting, tuning and offset controls in every instrument, you can dial in the sound you’re looking for, whether you need a massive bombastic hall sound, distant war drums, or a more intimate and nearly dry drum room feel. We also have easy dynamic shaping, to allow you to focus in just the softer or harder dynamic layers at any time.
