Hello everybody!

I have made a new video comparing a lot of top tier percussion libraries currently on the market. I know I'm barely scratching the surface on most of the libraries and MIDI does not do justice to them all. But this project already took way more hours than anticipated so at some point I just stopped tweaking it... But still it covers a huge array of perc libraries so hopefully you will be able to get a glimpse into some of them, hot are they produced and how do they sound compared to each other. No additional processing was used, only factory patches provided by the libraries are used.

Nice work! The UVI & EW examples sounded surprisingly powerful and large compared with other highly-rated libraries that I thought would have impressed me more.
