Sound of timpani's with cow bells and other tuned percussion to give it its unique sound. I also used sound techniques of reversing eqing ect to create this sound.

Created using drums tuned percussion for a moving trailer i worked on. Consists of three hits for different words sweeping on and of the screen.

3 year old child playing a metallophone, a homemade percussion instrument consisting of tuned metal bars which are struck with a mallet to make sound, fixes to a wooden box which works as a resonating device.

Used a mini mod filter and tuned it up slowly so you can cut out the wanted pitch, switch daw to 120bpm to cut it preciselyenjoy.

Sample of a metallic percussion hit. The sound is quite dark and muffled. I call it underwater drum, because it sounds to me like it's underwater. This sample is tuned to a1 but there is a very dominant overtone at b1, which is the musical interval of a minor second. The source of the sample was the platter of a dismantled hard disk drive, hit with a wooden mallet. It was then pitched down a lot. The sample is almost raw, i just added some slight eq. The sample was intended to be used with a sampler, you may want to add some reverb for this and filter the previously mentioned overtone, when you use it in combination with other tuned instruments. Also, the pitch is probably not perfectly tuned. Microphone: akq perception 120post-processing: pitch manipulation & eq.

Low, tuned percussive sounddesign, made with a synth, a big reverb and an eq. Try to use it with a contrabass, it works really well ;)format : wav 24-bit, 44100 hz.

Tuned percussive sounddesign, made with a synth, a big reverb, an eq and a guitar amp. It is a bit more agressive than the previous one. You can use it for filmscore music, ambient. . .

Some beats made with my new toy, ujam berserk vst. Hope you enjoy. Loops perfectly at 116bpm. Kicks tuned to a flat.

Timpano, 71 cm diameter, tuned approximately to g. Several hits, from very soft to very loud. Played with a yarn mallet, directly in the center of the drum head. Samples are a little 'cleaned up' (noise reduction, silence removed, etc. ) but otherwise unprocessed.

Recording of my kalimba tuned to c-major (give or take a few cents), striking the lowest possible note. Recorded on a rode nt1-a through a scarlett 2i2 interface. Noise-reduced for clarity.

Tabla is percussion instrument with two drums 'daya' and 'baya'. Only the 'daya' drum is usually tuned. For checking the tuning the 'na' bol is played. Recorded using samson-go portable condenser mike at home. Placing the mike too close to tabla was clipping the sound and if placed away, it was not picking the extended resonance. Hence the mike was moved closer after attack, hence the apparent increase in amplitude and some doppler effect is seen.

Chromatic handbells 12 tones. C# tone. File 48khz, 24bit, stereo, no processing. Normalized to -3db. Recorded using a-b stereo technique witch 30 cm spacing between and 50 cm from bell. Microphones: a pair of dpa 4006 microphones with ua0777 nose conesinterface: focusrite saffire liquid 56. Studio room: w:2,5m x d:2. 0m x h:2,8m. Each file contains 3 techniques: single tone, double and ringing bell.

A tuned chau gong from my personal collection. I made these samples long ago and only did one take per gong. So, these sounds are a bit rough, but that should do well to suit the kinds of music that would use these gongs. I have tried loading single samples from this set (especially #4) across an entire keyboard, and playing that one sample as if it were the whole set, and that has worked out well. So, if one of the gongs crashes too much or decays too quickly for your liking, it should be trivial to replace that sound with another, pitch-shifted one.
