Essential Percussion follows the alt.rockdrums collection as George Pendergast's second contribution to the massive Sony Creative Software catalog. This set stays true to the Pendergast form — great performances on fine instruments, captured using ultra high-end gear, and edited to perfection for instant usability and enjoyment. Essential Percussion library is packed with inspiring patterns played on custom kits and a wide variety of hand percussion including congas, bongos, djembe, doumbek, slit drums, timbales, bells, cymbals, shakers, tambourines, blocks, and more. In addition to patterns, an extensive one shot collection is included, so you'll be able to customize your tracks and achieve results that are unique and yours alone. Perfectly suited for rock, pop, experimental and alternative music, the Essential Percussion library takes a non-traditional approach to providing sounds and rhythms that will integrate easily with a wide variety of styles.
