What it is

Oriental Percussion is a sample library from Image Sounds, part of its Artist Series. It captures percussionist Volcan Gümüs playing the bendir, bongo, darbuka, def, zil and holo, with production by Ozcan Sunar. The loops are live-recorded performances, so they keep a natural human feel and micro-timing that programmed drums don't have.

Who it's for

Producers of dance, pop and soul who want organic Middle Eastern percussion layered over their drums. It also suits anyone who wants live-sounding hand percussion without booking a player.

  Loops run from 86 to 135 BPM, are tempo-synced and are labeled with their root key.
