Ethnic Percussion Library

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good Ethnic, and classical (with emphasis on the ethnic) percussion library?

preferably UNDER 10 GB, And Kontakt formats are preferred, but not necessary. they usually take less ram using the Direct to Disk function.

It needs to have the following types of percussive instruments, ordered by importance:

1. African instruments, such as djembes, dundun's, and kalimba's (Important to have a large variability, or different recording of the same instruments due to heavy interlock)

2. Arabian instruments, such as Darbuka's, Riq's, Framedrums, etc...

4. CLASSICAL percussion, woodblocks, triangles, all that.

4. Brazilian Instruments, Surdo's, Pandeiro's, and other bosa nova, and samba percussion.

the first two are especially needed, the 3rd and 4rth aren't crucial.

Other types of ethnic percussion isn't needed.

I've searched google like crazy but found nothing.

I'm in dire need of a percussion library, If any of you can recommend any for me would be swell.

Ta-da!

It's an excellent library with a huge diversity of instruments, actually clocking in a bit bigger than you'd like at 13GB, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a wider, more complete selection in a single library.

Thanks Marius! You're a life saver!

Happy to help :happy:

I will use the thread to ask something similar I hope you don't mind.

What library comes with a Tam-tam roll ?

Since I use libraries I've stopped calling for this brilliant resource on my works (I shouldn't get influenced by that :( ), and to make the recording of my Op.12 was very laborious to make it in Audition.. looks like is not very common, Respighi is the only one I know use it often.

Well in the same budget range and with the same diversity is this library (from the same company): http://www.vir2.com/instruments/elite-orchestral-percussion

It's got rolls for all instruments.

Oh ... Thanks a lot, I'll check it

Wow, I need money, I need MONEY ! :lol:
