i thought i'd better let you know about the new sample set i've just finished.....

STEEL DRUM PERCUSSION ROOM

a new kit of lovely dusty binaural acoustic drum samples and slightly prepared steel drums....a kind of Tom Waits drum machine featuring drums and hit things in all shapes and sizes.

Theres 4 octaves of multi-velocity huge flappy marching band bass drums, ripped and rattly snares and kicks, frame drums, congas, bongos, toms, hi-hats, cymbals, boxes, metal shelving...you name it.

plus the "prepared" steel drums.

these are a neglected set of bass steel pans played with fingers and soft mallets to avoid sounding anything like proper steel drums ,its about character . these this are more apocalypse than calypso .the tunings are a bit iffy, but theres plenty of velocity layers per hit for a rusty hang drum like effect. great for film scoring.

both kits were recorded binaurally in a great sounding room with long decays for a total of 168mb of samples.

currently available in Kontakt, SFZ, Giga, soundfonts, Ableton Live Sampler, EXS and Reason NNxt

downloadable for £15 via paypal

demos and info at http://www.virb.com/dulcitone1884

also check out my dulcitone and prepared binaural harpsichord

cheers

Cool stuff! The Dulcitone is definitely a great product. I might just have to get the other two now to complete my set!

The demo sounds cool but you're gifted. I'm not sure I would do as well.
