Djembe, Conga, Bongo, Udu and Taiko Family
This is the world percussion portion of a multi-part percussion library I put together during my final year of university. For a few years now, this library has been a secret sauce/garnish that I would blend into my other paid and professional libraries and figured it was about time to share!
Despite this being my first go at sampling, I had access to all of the conservatory’s instruments, multiple studios, and professional gear so I was pretty intent on quality and detailed sampling. Most articulations were captured with left and right hand variants and at least 6 velocity layers/4 round robins (unless the articulation or drum was specialized in some way).
The rig:
Preamps- API’s THE BOX, and Focusrite ISA428
Close Mics- Neumann KM 184’s
Room Mics- Neumann U87s
The collection:
Djembe
Conga
Bongo
Udu
Taiko Family (O Daiko, Taiko, Shime Daiko)
