ZAK Sound releases Aegean Drums - Cinematic Mediterranean Percussion Library for Raizes Player

ZAK Sound has released Aegean Drums, a Mediterranean percussion library for Raizes Player.

Aegean Drums features performances by Stefanos Athinaios, a world percussionist from Athens, Greece, specializing in Middle-Eastern, Balkan, and Mediterranean music.

The library is based on five percussion instruments: bendir, daf, darbuka, davul, and riq. It is designed for modern cinematic, trailer, electronic, and atmospheric music production, rather than only traditional Mediterranean styles.

Aegean Drums includes:

• 85 presets across 7 categories.
• Full kits, hybrid kits, pitched percussion, trailer hits, dark pulses, swells, tails, and FX.
• 123 MIDI files across cinematic, trailer, electronic, house, game, ritual, and traditional rhythm categories.
• Multiple articulations with 3 velocity layers and 3 round robins.
• Dry organic percussion sounds suitable for layering, scoring, rhythmic beds, impacts, and sound design.

The preset categories include Full Kit, Hybrid Kits, Pitched Percussion, Dark Pulses, Trailer Hits, Swells & Tails, and FX.

Pricing & Availability

Aegean Drums is available now for $39 from ZAK Sound.
