I've been commissioned to write a showreel for a design/animation agency here in Bristol and they are dead set on using a wide range of ethnic percussion in order to reflect the diversity of their client base. I've been trawling the net for a while but the only things I can find are either hugely over my budget or a bit pants...can anyone suggest anything? It's important that they're loops as (a) I don't have much time and (b) I want them to sound as authentic as possible. I'm working at around 140bpm on the track.

Help!

Hello you may find our title of interest - its mainly percussion loops (tabla, dhol, dholki - Indian/ethnic) drums.

cd is called "the desi beat factory 3"

Find it @ www.goldenchildrecords.com

Hope this helps you out! Let me know if I can be of any further assistance!

I'm not sure exactly what style your looking for but I have a couple indian libraries from Big Fish. Indian Traditions and Elements: Indian. I got both of them from mtlc.net at $85 and $39. Indian traditions has over 4000 loops and samples so there is plenty to work with. There is much less on the second product but I guess that's why the price is about half.

If you can go a little higher in price then Ethno might be cool since it's a plug-in that has both patches of hits and loops. Plus this has a lot of variety. Let me know if you are looking for some other region I might be able to give you a little direction.

Zero-G's World pack (Acid wav or Garageband versions) contains loops from India, Middle east, Latin america, Polynesia and a few more. Quite good value imo at £99.

shameless self plug here - check out our Chineekong free loop pack. Some high profile film composers have been blown away by this little loop pack. Might be handy for your need.
