Percussion Palette
A collection of percussion instruments played in unusual ways.

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! 🙂
Reviews
Love it
Simple, but great sounding percussion. And unlike many other Decent Samples, allows you to use pretty much most of the keyboard space. Sounds natural when quantizing MIDI clips to just about any beat type (1/4, 1/3, 1/12, etc.).
Many thanks
Variety of percussion sounds
Wonderful! Almost all the keys are assigned with different hits, and the quality is excellent.
