Rhythmic Origins

Rhythmic Origins is a comprehensively multi-sampled catalog of UK percussionist David Oliver's globe-spanning collection of rare, specialty, ethnic concert drums and hand percussion instruments. Recorded at Whitehouse Studios in Somerset, England, Bell Music in London, and David's Somerset Studio, this massive library captures 73 different percussion instruments of all shapes and sizes offering a variety of primary and effect articulations. You can custom mix your sound with close and room microphone positions, along with additional mic positions for Bell Music's giant 54 inch Verdi Taiko Drum, David's custom Gran Casa and several African hand drums.

The tonal and dynamic balance for each instrument has been carefully engineered to bring out the full bodied bass, rich tonality and high-end clarity in each sample, from the most subtle hand percussion to thunderous concert bass drum strikes. This library is an extraordinary toolbox as a stand-alone collection and also serves as the perfect companion to David Oliver's Rhythmic Odyssey, our popular multi-track percussion loop, phrase and construction library that features many of the same instruments.
