Hi Everyone,

Just stumbled across this video! I am astounded at these traditional intruments and the sound production and composition of this. I would like to know what these instruments they are and to get their sounds! I also particularly like the percussions and percussive elements




I also love these drum sounds especially the bass drum in this production especially from 02m00 to about 02m30 some are not in the visuals but i just love the bass drum sounds. What do you think these instruments are? Where can I find these sounds?

Post

Is anyone able to help or advise?

I can name the things, but know nothing of sample libraries or other offerings. Anything labeled "celtic" or "medieval" ??

Flute (low penny whistle, not a classical recorder), harp, lute, tambourine, mouth harp (wikipedia insists on jew's harp). I think I hear accordeon or pump organ with a single resister opened.
Some rhythmic elements come from
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurdy-gurdy
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhr%C3%A1n

And see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faun_(Band)
(it's full of links to the instruments they play)

Oh, you specifically asked about the low drum sound.

It sounds exactly like the first (and last) drum I made myself and could not figure out how to get tension on the skin.

Thank you very much Bertkoor, greatly appreciated!

To me, the bassdrum in this song sounds actually more like a synthesized rather than an acoustic bassdrum. Like a bassdrum based on a very fast sine sweepdown.

Edit: Shameless self-promo. A while ago, I created a little free sample pack:



and I think, some the bassdrums in there sound rather similar. Maybe the ones at 0:11 or 0:12 - maybe with some EQing (maybe boost some low freq with a high Q bell and/or maybe roll off the highs and/or maybe give it a bump somewhere in the highs, too to emphasize the transient)
