There’s a 38” Javanese gong that’s reminiscent of the lowest “A” note of a priceless concert grand piano. As such, it’s been recorded at Ellis’ private studio in the Hollywood Hills, and it offers a collector's gallery of fine instruments from artisanal makers around the world. This decidedly non-traditionalist approach is what separates Cinematic Percussion from a typical “ethnic percussion” library. What makes the Greg Ellis percussion sound unique is his combining of instruments from different parts of the world where he brings together various drums, gongs, metals and shakers based on timbre rather than on geography. And more than just the sounds, you get original performances by the musician who played on these and over 100 other films: master percussionist, Greg Ellis. Cinematic Percussion brings you the actual instruments used in “Argo,” the Academy Awards® 2012 Best Picture, “Godzilla” (2014), “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Iron Man,” “Watchmen”, “300,” “The Underworld” series, “The Matrix” series, “Dawn of the Dead” (2004) and many more. The epic, authentic sounds of blockbuster Hollywood movies is now available for SampleTank 3. All of these drums are mapped using an extended General MIDI mapping, which lets users mix-and-match elements from the Cinematic Percussion kit with elements from other SampleTank 3 drum libraries. And, of course, it also comes with an extremely deep roster of playable single-hit instruments that all support multiple velocities and round robin. It has a generous array of MIDI patterns that have been performed and designed by both the IK sound design team and Greg Ellis himself. It comes fully loaded with everything needed to add a dash of Hollywood magic to any production: It has a flexible collection of audio loops recorded at 10 different source tempos. Cinematic Percussion is a producer’s dream.
