Glitchedtones & Hidden Sound release Whale Bone Percussion for Kontakt

Glitchedtones and Hidden Sound have released Whale Bone Percussion for Kontakt, saying:

We played a Whale vertebrae found washed up on a remote beach in Iceland with drum sticks and mallets, sampled it using high quality contact microphones and loaded the recordings into Kontakt to bring you this truly unique percussion collection which will inspire your rhythm tracks whether you work in electronic music, film scoring or game audio.
