That would be timpani.

I've played on a lot of film scores as a percussionist, and also helped people with sampled percussion. The way this is mixed it could likely be either live or sampled, but I'd be the farm on this: it is a timpani roll, and there is an added bass drum single hit on the climax note (the ending stroke) of the roll.

Or perhaps it is a loud center-timpani hit with reverb splashed on the mids and highs, and a bassboost.
Anti-aliasing is for "synthmonk%ys".

Hi Aduan,

Checkout the free percussion sample downloads we offer from our SAM True Strike orchestral percussion library at www.projectsam.com (http://www.projectsam.com). We offer some free shorter timpani rolls in there, including one like this, recorded at some distance. In the freebie sets you'll also find gran casa, snare crescendo rolls, cymbals, tutti hits, effects, scrapes and other filmic percussion sounds.

Let me know if these are what you're looking for!

All the best,
