of such energetic content that you can make epic songs just using those loops. 50 construction kits, over 700 loops. In general it is a less pompous collection than Epic Drums but far more energetic with dramatic conga bonga shakers and similar primal percussion. All kits really drive the rhythm, so making an action background with this collection is dead easy. The library goes from a slow, 65 bpm, construction kits to high energy fast 190 bpm kit. In combination with Epic Drums it covers everything you will ever need for making a good cinematic track. I never have enough drum loops but these two libraries really embrace the whole cinematic universe. No matter if you compose music for video games, TV shows, multimedia, commercials or radio shows. Both libraries also contain a few kits with more exotic time signatures: 他, 5/4 and 6/8. Big Fish Audio loops are really essential libraries for getting into the cinematic business, but after a while you will need some fresh blood to expand your standard assortment of loops adding a bit of diversity. Then comes Nine Volt Audio with their "Action Drums" series. First up is the Taiko Edition and second is the Cinematic Edition. http://www.bestservice.de/found.asp /action%20drums/action_drums_taik o_edition/en http://www.bestservice.de/found.asp /action%20drums/action_drums_cine matic_edition/en

They will cost you 79 Euros each. Taiko Edition has over 680 loops in a range from 120 - 200 bpm and Cinematic Edition contain 850 lops and 200 single hits in a range of 90 170 bpm. In the present edition we also find some 他 and 6/8 signatures along with the standard 4/4. Both libraries brings a combination of various mixes along with separate elements. All of the loops from the Cinematic and Taiko Editions are presented in two different tempos, widening the usability because we all know that stretching algorithms can't stretch drums too far from the original tempo without losing quality. Also, Taiko Edition was recorded only with various Japanese Taiko drums, which brings a bit of a different atmosphere, as there are no high elements in the loops which make this library a good solution for making more discrete, or maybe we should say, more glued backgrounds for your orchestral works. All four libraries comes in various formats: ACIDized wav, REX, Apple loops and three of them also as a RMX compatible loops. After the tools I know that you are a bit skeptical about all this, but I hope you will change your mind as soon as you get your first check earned with your music. Trust me, it is an excellent feeling; and you definitely will not know that until you'll try it.
