Spitfire Audio Abbey Road Orchestra: Low Percussion Professional
Orchestral Percussion Virtual Instrument
The Professional Composer Series
Introducing the most detailed sample library Spitfire has ever created, and the first in a new flagship series.
Crafted for professional composers, producers and sound designers, Abbey Road Orchestra will bring you every section of the orchestra in breathtaking detail.
Low Percussion offers you a whole new level of expression, thanks to over 20 years of sampling experience and innovation.
Performed by internationally-renowned percussionist Joby Burgess (Black Panther, Mission: Impossible), and engineered by Grammy-winning engineer Simon Rhodes (Skyfall, Avatar), it's like having your very own world-class percussionist.
The Lowest Drums, The Highest Quality
Lay the groundwork for your compositions with unrivalled realism with this collection of truly thunderous orchestral and indigenous drums that are beautifully captured in the legendary acoustic of Abbey Road Studio One.
Distinguished by its extremely responsive and highly tactile nature, Low Percussion explores the timbral and textural range of 20 drums from across the orchestral repertoire and further, 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.
