Evolution Series World Percussion Taiko (Available Now!)

Great news! After a pricing restructure, Taiko is now available for $119 a 40% price drop from the original RRP.

All users who purchased Taiko for $179, prior to this change, will receive an automatic refund of the difference. No changes apply to bundle prices.

We're on Sale

Until 5th of May, Taiko is available for $99. An amazing deal that you shouldn't miss!

This is truly a one of a kind library and we know that you will not be disappointed!

Here is what the talented Clinton Shorter (District 9, Pompeii, 2 Guns) had to say:

"World Percussion Taiko is a fantastic addition to the Evolution Series family. They sound big, yet have a natural transparency I don't hear in other libraries. The midi loops are extremely handy for getting an idea going quickly plus the drag and drop midi files are a great way to customize and make it your own. Evolution Series seems to have a knack for making not only great sounding libraries but incredibly playable intuitive interfaces, World Percussion Taiko delivers more of the same excellence."

Please check out our new website for more detailed information!

While we all wait... here is a new video demo showing all the taiko drums playing together. It is a combination of separately recorded ensemble and solo taikos. Everything you hear are the midi grooves that come with the library and not audio loops.

'Taiko' was done with the same recording specifications as World Percussion 2.0. So in other words you can go nice and close or big and roomy depending on your needs. I'm personally a big fan of the roomy sound ;)

Bellow are 3 mixes showing the same track going from only the close microphones, then Close with a little bit of room and finally big and roomy:

(1) Close microphones only

(2) Close microphones with a little bit of Room

(3) Big and roomy

Just to note our website will be down for a little bit... no need to worry we are just preparing a new website :)

Big Thanks!

I'm spoiled by having performed in a taiko group for a couple of years. No sample library will ever sound convincing to me. At best, good enough for cinematic stuff if drowned in reverb.

Close miking them always sounds especially weird, IMHO. They don't sound like that in person, even playing outdoors in a muddy grassy field with minimal reflections. Microphones lie :D

Hey foosnark

Recording taikos are definitely a fine art. The last demo I posted is of a solo wine barrel taiko... this is not a traditional taiko and obviously sounds very different due to its make up (our library contains tradition taikos). The taikos can go as dry or roomy as you want (all with real reverb... not artificial). Microphones are used to capture a sonic moment in time, and they have no need to lie ;) we passionately feel what we have captured is a true representation of these instruments recorded in a world class scoring stage... and the positive feedback from a number of A-list composers has been overwhelming :)

Kind regards,

Anthony
