Percussion Palette

A collection of percussion instruments played in unusual ways.

ByJoshua Meltzer

The story

Here is a large collection of percussion instruments I have lying around. I recorded a lot of traditional drums from various parts of the world, often in a very untraditional way. I used snares on Djembes from Senegal, I ran an Udu from Morocco through an Eventide H3000, Talking drums with filters, shakers, kalimba (played on a snare drum) Frame drum, a Balinese Gong, a Bamboo Balafon and tons of random noise makers. I even sampled a dumpster that’s outside my house now. That may warrant its own instrument! Till then, get your groove on! πŸ™‚

Reviews

  • Variety of percussion sounds

    Wonderful! Almost all the keys are assigned with different hits, and the quality is excellent.

  • Does exactly what it says on the tin.

    It's a palette of percussion... Brilliantly recorded by Joshua as always. There's a really nice range of instruments to get stuck into from around the world. I suppose the only thing stopping it from getting a 5 star rating across the board, is that special/unique factor. But otherwise this is a solid library!
