The Loops Percussion is a section of instruments which on many sample collections get's thrown in the mix. But Loopmasters have made a complete sample collection solely dedicated to ear candy. Greatly recorded percussion loops and hits which will enrich your compositions for sure. The loops form construction kits where you get all of the individual parts plus the total mix as Rx2/Wav loops. You'll even find some of the total mix loops processed thru cool effects which make these loops very interesting. All sorts of percussion instruments were used to make these loops. You'll find Tambourines, Conga's, Cowbell's, Shaker's, Agogobells and many more. But you'll also find plain drumsounds to complement the percussion. The cool thing is that you get all layers of the full mix loops seperately so you can mix and match them with the other construction kits on the CD. The sound quality is very good. Everything has been recorded with high quality equipment.
There's an additional folder which contains tambourine and shaker loops which will find their entry into most of your compositions i'm sure. They sound very good and can be mixed into your exsisting arrangement with great ease. They have been made with various instruments including a basket shaker, cabasa, egg shaker, jingle stick and others. Great sounds to lay on your beats to give it just that little twist of realism.
One Shot Sounds
As if this wasn't enough you'll also find a folder full of various one shot samples made with a host of percussion instruments. Really too much to mention here but count on it that you'll find all instruments used for the loops here. Great one shot samples which enable you to get upclose and personal with these instruments.
Conclusion
This CD is packed to the rim with great sounding percussion samples which are of a very high quality and are extremely usable. I recommend everyone who is into using percussion in their songs to grab a hold of this disc as it brings all these percussion instruments right under your fingertips. For £39.95 this disc shows enormous bang for buck values. Great stuff!
