INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT DETAILS
Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble
This massive collection represents the most powerful and comprehensive epic trailer and scoring percussion library we have ever recorded. Featuring over 40 drums and more than a dozen cymbals of all shapes and sizes, with both ensemble and solo articulations and up to 3 independent microphone positions per articulation, this library is your total solution for epic percussion orchestration. Recorded in a naturally rich and lush spacious A-Frame hall using world class large-diaphragm microphones and pristine ultra-quiet recorders, we carefully mixed and mastered each sample to deliver explosive power, unmatched acoustic quality, wide dynamic range, and stunning life-like clarity and presence.
We at Soundiron are no strangers to epic percussion. Those who know our work are familiar with the passion, exacting precision and attention to detail we deliver. The Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble is the culmination of all of our years of experience, distilled into the most comprehensive and earth-shaking hall percussion package available anywhere on the market. We set out to build a monster that punched harder, rumbled deeper, cut through cleaner and could get the job done like no other. We wanted a massive sound like no other, without compromising flexibility and user choice. We aimed for a sound that just works right out of the box, with all of the beef and none of the noise. What we got was above and beyond our wildest expectations. This monster gets it done!

Bamboo Stick Ensemble
The Bamboo Stick Ensemble (featured in movies such as Avatar and Tron) is a powerful display of just how far you can take a simple musical ingredient like bamboo poles. By themselves, they provide a powerful clack when smashed together. They also generate outstanding percussive effects and tonal sustains when (mis)treated just the right way. Our Bamboo Stick Ensemble was recorded using a variety of 6′ long 2” diameter Chinese bamboo poles. Sometimes shrill, sometimes brassy and always creepy, these sounds are equally at home in epic scores, horror soundtracks and dark ambient compositions. The impacts are powerful and sharp. There is also a large collection of tonal sustains and effects, which were created by grinding the poles against wet and dry tile. Sometimes shrill, sometimes brassy and always freakin’ creepy.

Clack
The theme and purpose of this library is pretty simple. We wanted to capture as much sharp, bright, warm, tonal wooden impact percussion as your heart desires. We captured several bamboo poles, bamboo logs, a whole pile of claves, woodblocks, clappers, box drum, and other assorted wooden implements that epitomize the word “thwack.” These elements are specifically ideal auxiliary elements for orchestral composition and epic film/tv/game soundtrack scoring. They also are vital elements in Latin music and hip hop, as well as very useful percussion building-blocks and raw source material for experimental music and IDM.
Deep Sampled Articulations
- 5″x6′ bamboo logs (23 articulations)
- 1″x7′ small bamboo poles (6 articulations)/li>
- 2 sets of castanets (solo and unison)

Cymbology 1 Bowed
This massive percussion effects library is built around classic bowed cymbals, with extensive detours into other experimental sustaining and short dramatic cymbal effects, custom tuned percussion and ambiences. We captured 20 unique cymbals, in all shapes, sizes, alloys and varieties, from crashes and splashes to gongs, bells, trashes and even a stack of spent WWII Howitzer artillery shells. We explore the classic bowed cymbal effect in exquisite detail. There are dozens of variations for each cymbal, from short stabs to long tortured wails and everything in between. These sought-after dramatic scoring and sound design fundamentals are perfect for setting dark moods, striking bold transitions, building stingers, weaving soundscapes and manipulating in any number of ways to evoke sonic images both dark and light. Recorded in close and far mic positions, this library comes equipped with a powerful custom user interface and deep yet intuitive sound-sculpting functionality.

Drum Corps
The Soundiron Drum Corps is a unique library focused on capturing the powerful, tight sound of high school marching drum corps. Notice the tight, harsh, mid-tones and truncated snap of marching drums. It’s quite distinct from the solid, pleasing punch and smooth resonance of typical rock and symphonic percussion. Rather, it’s meant to be heard loud and clear from a great distance away.
Deep Sampled Articulations
- Indoor and Outdoor Recording, Football Field and Band Rehearsal Hall
- Marching Snare (field): strike, flam, sidestick and rimclick, looping rolls w/ release, 5-6 velocities, 10x round-robin
- Marching Snare (hall): strike, flam tight, flam loose, rimclick, rimclick flam, looping roll and crescendo w/ release, right & left hands, 8-11 velocities, 10x round-robin

Little Epic Percussion 1
Welcome to Small Epic Percussion. A great collection of small orchestral and ethnic percussion instruments intended both to compliment our existing collection of epic drums. It also stands alone as a unique toolbox of under-appreciated but often called-for items, like the tambourine and finger cymbals. We not only went out of our way to capture these instruments as deeply as we could muster, but tried as much as possible to discover new ways of thinking about and playing them. You may notice some unorthodox articulations included with some of the instruments, as well as a few strange combinations and mutations.
Deep Sampled Articulations
- Solo and ensemble claves, vibraslap, sticks, rattles, various shakers, metal rattles and bells
- Large Tambourine
- Finger Cymbals
- Ship’s Bell
- And more

Riq
The traditional family of Middle Eastern (Arabic) hand percussion instruments is generally defined as an open shell frame drum with large cymbals or jingles – aka Riq Drums. It is similar in appearance and origin to a tambourine, but this broad family of specialized drums is treated as a very serious and deeply nuanced instrument class in both traditional and modern Middle Eastern, Central Asian and Eastern European music. Rather than simply being an accompaniment or backing instrument, the Rik family of drums can often take a lead or solo role. The jingles, rattles or rings are often played as a discreet component of the drum, along with a broad range of unique head and rim finger and hand articulations.
Deep Sampled Articulations
- Riq bone mallet strikes (center, edge) 6-8 velocity layers, 10X variations per layer
- Riq felt mallet strikes (center) 8 velocity layers, 10X variations per layer
- Riq wooden dowel “hotrods” (center, edge) 6-8 velocity layers, 10X RR per layer

Shake Vol. 1
This deep sampled collection is dedicated to shakers, rattles and bell tree percussion. The fuzzy, buzzy, sandy-sounding “chuff”, “shuck” and “jingle” of hand-held shakers and bells is an essential part of orchestral, latin, electronic, hip hop and even rock music.
Deep Sampled Articulations
- Large concert sleigh bell tree (1 shake / strike combo. 13 sustaining rolls and grooves)

Solo Dohl
Welcome to our Solo Dhol drum library. The Solo Dhol contains over 5.100 samples and +100 different articulations, including sticks, mallets, brushes, hands/fingers, bass bends and so forth. We deep sampled two professional Dhol Drums for this library, each with distinct characteristics. These drums have animal hide bass heads (called “dagga”) and maylar treble heads (called “thili”). They dagga sides are tuned with a single heavy nylon rope, wound around the drum through steel rings. The thili heads are tuned with a series of steel lugs and rods, typical of most modern percussion.
Deep Sampled Articulations
- Dhol Master (contains all patches)
- Dhol Bass Bends
- Dhol Bass Felt
- Dhol Bass Hands

Tablas
Welcome to Soundiron’s Complete Tabla library, the most comprehensively sampled Tabla in the history of sampling. This library contains both looped phrases as well as deeply multi-sampled tablas. The tabla is a popular Indian percussion instrument used in the classical, popular and devotional music of the Indian subcontinent and in Hindustani classical music. The instrument consists of a pair of hand drums of contrasting sizes and timbres. To call tabla a mere percussion instrument would be a vast understatement of its musical depth, as one of the most revered of all classical Indian musical instruments. We worked with tabla master and jazz percussionist Sameer Gupta to capture a range of tabla rhythm, melody and soul. Sameer has been a student and practitioner in the art of percussion for nearly 25 years, traveling the world to study and perform in some of the world’s most prestigious institutions and venues.
Deep Sampled Articulations
- 14 unique tabla articulations
- 20 unique bayan articulations and bend variation types
