This is the world percussion portion of a multi-part percussion library I put together during my final year of university. For a few years now, this library has been a secret sauce/garnish that I would blend into my other paid and professional libraries and figured it was about time to share!

 

Most articulations were captured with left and right hand variants and at least 6 velocity layers/4 round robins (unless the articulation or drum was specialized in some way).

 

The Rig:

• Preamps- API’s THE BOX, and Focusrite ISA428

• Close Mics- Neumann KM 184’s

• Room Mics- Neumann U87s

 

The Collection:

• Djembe

• Conga

• Bongo

• Udu

• Taiko Family (O Daiko, Taiko, Shime Daiko)
