A metal spoon bouncing ever so slightly on a porcelain bowl the way a drumstick hits a snare. I thought the hit had a nice inflection to it and could be used for some strange percussion break.
Here's a heap of snapshot samples of the synare 3, a vintage analog drum synth circa 1980. They were recorded through an avalon u5 and mackie mixer, and are completely dry. Theres percussion and alot of synth type sounds.
Some tweaked kicks made on the virus ti. . . . Various parameters tweaked on a basic synthesized kick, to create many effects that can be used as either percussion or other effect like sounds. . . . .
