Description

Hollywood Fantasy Percussion provides a full suite of thunderous, mystical struck and shaken instruments to complement even the most epic soundtracks. While they’re well-suited to most orchestral scores, they shine in combination with the rest of the Hollywood Fantasy palette. There’s no shortage of bombastic drum libraries available, but there’s never been a percussion library specifically designed for scoring epic fantasy soundtracks.

Drums In The Deep

When scoring for fantasy, there are countless settings where conventional percussion simply doesn’t cut it. Fiery iron forges, royal celebrations, traditional folk festivals, and that’s just scratching the surface.

3 Bodhrans

If you’ve ever listened to Celtic folk music, chances are you’re familiar with the rich quality of the bodhran.

3 Gran Cassas

A bass drum has been added to this collection to help extend the low end of the orchestra, which is notably absent in many traditional ensembles.

3 Large Taikos

This drum likely needs no introduction due to its omnipresence in video game and film scores, but a tight-knit ensemble was recorded to provide the glorious bassy rumble these massive drums are famed for.

600 LB Nagado Ensemble

Unlike other Taikos, the massive Nagado-daiko was designed for rituals and spiritual uses, and as such is a great way to underscore austere ceremonies with a single, haunting low impact.

Ceng Ceng

These Balinese cymbals have a splashy, resonant character perfect for background ambience.

Crotales

Small chromatic cymbals that blend the quality of a glockenspiel and wind chimes, these are a great way to sustain a gradual, regal melody and offer a delightful contrast with wind and stringed instruments.

Cymbal And Gong Ensemble

A collection of assorted struck, rolled, and tapped metals for whenever you need a dose of inspiration.

Goatnail Shaker

This unique shaker is a collection of hoof trimmings gathered by indigenous peoples while milking their goats.

Krakeb

North African castanets with a similar tone to the ceng ceng, but with a rounder timbre and lower in pitch.

Metal Shaker

This shaker provides a soft, dispersed sound ideal for gently driving the rhythm.

Nagara Rub FX

Imagine a deep, atonal bowed instrument howling in the night and you’ll arrive at a similar sound to this rubbed Indian drum.

Orchestral Bell Ensemble

We’ve also included chimes to help round out the collection and lock in with a more conventional orchestra, though they’re equally suited to adding the sound of church bells in a castle town or scoring joyous ceremonies that demand regal treatment.

Snare Ensemble

When great armies are marching into battle, this snare ensemble is an essential tool to convey the grandeur and scale necessary to get the job.

Toms

The deeper, rounder cousin to the snare ensemble, this creates a hefty lower-mid power layer for additional oomph in your drum core.
