Five microphone positions, to blend your own personal sound
We recorded the original instruments used on major motion picture soundtracks such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars.
UNLEASHED
After the success of "Drums of the Deep I", which made its way swiftly into major scores, such as video game shooter of the year, "Titanfall" by Stephen Barton, who described it as a "staple in his template", we could not possibly stop there - so we've taken it all to a new level, and are proud to present DRUMS OF THE DEEP II
In "Drums of the Deep II", we recorded as many as EIGHT drummers playing at once, for a sound that can only be described as cataclysmic...
Over fifty instruments were recorded, and every drum was meticulously mic'ed to capture every sonic detail these magnificent instruments had to offer.
We spent much longer recording this library, ending with a huge amount of content... Includes up to 7RR per hit, 6/7 dynamic layers, and many different types of mallets/sticks and techniques.
Full Demo Track. The deep lows of the larger drums were taken advantage of for the the body and fullness, while the rhythm is defined by rim hits and some other subtle extras.
At 1:08-1:50, and 2:34 onwards in this track, the Taiko ensemble from DOTD II is used (often with the highs EQ'ed out) to provide the periodic deep booms that you "feel" more than hear, enhancing the emotional impact of the music.
An excerpt from the first demo, where the drums are soloed out, presenting the library in all its glory. (Extra non-drum sounds like Col Legno FX and Bell are recorded live)
