Endless Rhythm

The third and final instalment in our Percussion Trilogy takes your rhythmic explorations even further: from classical traditions to epic ensembles to the vibrant pulse of Latin music. Staying true to the fashion of its predecessors, this collection offers an exceptional array of versatile percussion instruments, captured in all their nuances. A host of exquisite instruments like congas, bongos, marimbas, jingle bells, and even a “big timpani” ensemble were captured in our large Stage A, an extraordinary environment where world-class acoustics, cutting-edge technology and professional expertise create the perfect formula for percussive excellence. A multi-microphone setup gives you all the sonic flexibility you can imagine, from pure and pristine clarity to heavily processed outbursts that can be the secret weapon in your orchestral compositions or bring fiery Latin grooves to life on the dance floor.

Full percussion orchestra set on a wooden stage, featuring timpani, drums, congas, marimba, cymbals, bells, and various percussion instruments.

Orchestral percussion setup featuring drum set, congas, bongos, chimes, tambourines, wood blocks, and various shakers and rhythm instruments.

Multiple rows of large, bronze-colored cowbells or agogo bells mounted on metal stands, creating a musical instrument display

Percussion setup with various cymbals, including suspended, crash, splash, and finger cymbals, arranged on stands over a wooden floor.

A collection of percussion instruments, including a large wooden drum, a white Yamaha snare drum, a copper Kolberg snare drum, and multiple tall, black tube drums with grey tops, all set up on stands on a wooden floor in a studio or concert hall.

Full overhead view of a large, professional-grade marimba with light brown wooden bars, dark brown resonators, and a dark grey stand. Below the keyboard, a rack of nine red square-shaped blocks with white attachment clips are visible. The marimba rests on a light brown wooden floor with visible grain.

All instruments include single strokes in many velocity layers and several round robins, rolls and effect articulations. For many instruments, rolls are available in two variants: “Static” rolls are recorded without changing dynamics and allow you to transition smoothly through velocity layers from pianissimo to fortissimo. “Dynamic” rolls were recorded with their dynamic changes (crescendos and diminuendos) performed over various lengths. You may release the key at any time – the individually matching release samples will be triggered automatically.

The included MIDI loops for Latin percussion instruments make it easy to create rhythms. Just pre-listen to them in the Synchron Player and drag them into your DAW.
