MusicTech magazine has taken an in-depth look at the Cinematic Percussion collection for SampleTank 3 in their December 2015 issue. Here are some of the key comments from audio guru Hollin Jones:
"The selection of sounds is perfect for cinematic scoring, ranging from big hits and metal percussion through to various oriental drums, gongs, and djembes."
"By layering loops up, triggering and deactivating them on the fly it's quite simple to build some evocative patterns quickly."
"The loops are very soundtrack oriented ... it's all easy to use and integrates well with your DAW and MIDI hardware."
"This collection certainly goes beyond whatever percussion collection you may have as part of a more generic drum instrument, and will serve any soundtrack composer well."
The final verdict is:
"A very solid percussion instrument collection as heard on some mega hit movies."
