The deal

What it is

Teponaztli is a 630-loop sample pack built around the traditional Mesoamerican wooden slit drum - a hollowed log with tuned slits, played with mallets to produce deep, resonant, and slightly melodic tones. Performed live by a professional percussionist and recorded in a studio environment, the loops are multitrack-captured at 24-bit/44.1 kHz, delivering genuine rhythmic energy across 80-140 BPM. The 1.18 GB WAV collection spans world music, cinematic, and experimental genres.

Who it's for

Producers working in cinematic, world music, or experimental genres who want organic, culturally-specific percussion with distinct character. The multitrack recordings let you layer Teponaztli rhythms into your arrangements or build full percussion sections around the instrument's deep, wooden resonance.
