Abbey Road Orchestra

Abbey Road Orchestra: Metal Percussion combines both an expertly curated library of orchestral staples and a crafted collection of distinctive sounds and textures. With 58 hand-picked instruments in total, versatility is key — whether you need a classic crash sound or want to experiment with the variety of inspiring tones offered by the oil drum — this library covers all your bases.

Masterfully engineered by GRAMMY -Award-winner Simon Rhodes in the legendary space of Abbey Road Studio One, and performed by world-renowned percussionist Joby Burgess, Metal Percussion takes sampling to new heights to incite you to add more inspired percussion, with shimmering metallic textures, shattering hits and otherworldly sounds.

What makes this collection incredibly special is all of this attention to detail — Joby's incredible understanding of his collection of instruments, Simon's particular way of micing everything and setting up the mixes, the level of detail offered in the features, such as the right/left mapping — and you get so much more than some percussion chucked at the back of the room - it can become such a significant part of your production.
