Spitfire Audio Abbey Road Orchestra: Low Percussion Core
Orchestral Percussion Virtual Instrument
Seismic Orchestral Low End
Experience the ground-shaking power of orchestral low percussion with the Core edition of Spitfire's acclaimed Abbey Road Orchestra series.
This iteration includes the same comprehensive suite of 20 thunderous bass drums – from the Surdo and Gran Cassa to the enormous 60" Giant Taiko - and offers identical detail in the selection of beaters, techniques and articulations. Low Percussion Core focuses the sound into one essential microphone mix, locking the sound of Studio One into the groove.
Engineered by GRAMMY-Award-winner Simon Rhodes (Skyfall, Avatar) and performed by virtuoso percussionist Joby Burgess, whose credits include blockbuster scores like Black Panther, The Avengers and The Batman, video games such as Indiana Jones and performances on dancefloors from Wembley Stadium to Berghain, this library captures the dynamism and realism of each drum in the legendary acoustic of Abbey Road Studio One.
Rhythmic Fundamentals
To further enhance your creative workflow, this product includes a free MIDI pack of fundamental drum rudiments.
These building blocks of percussion technique are programmed specifically for Abbey Road Orchestra Percussion, leveraging the intuitive right/left hand mapping for authentic performance.
Drag and drop these rudiments into your compositions at any tempo, and freely edit them within your DAW, adding realistic drum techniques with ease.
Deeply Sampled for Realistic Dynamics
Up to 12 round robins and 10 velocity layers deliver unrivalled realism in this suite of orchestral and indigenous drums.
Extremely responsive and highly tactile, Low Percussion explores the timbral and textural range of 20 drums, with up to seven beater options per drum, performing hits, rolls, swirls and sweeps sampled in incredible detail.
All performed by virtuoso percussionist Joby Burgess.
