East West Quantum Leap Stormdrum 2 is the reference library when one are searched big percussions as Hans Zimmers. It is not rare to admit them in films such as
Narnia or
Terminator.
The library regroups any types of percussions: of the drum kit in the group of
taikos by way of ethnic percussions and electronic tones. She comes as a supplement to East West Quantum Leap Ministry Of Rock (drum kits) and East West Quantum Leap RA (ethnic instruments).
At the level of its functioning via interface Play, this sounds bank offers mapped percussions on the different notes of a keyboard (although in general the pitch of sounds is indeterminate). Contrary to the previous version under the engine Konkakt / Intakt which also offered recorded loops the tempo of which could vary, here it is about sequences MIDI calling different percussions directly. This alternative is more interesting because they can is even to construct sequences and to change those existent.
Quality is on the whole exceptional. For those who wish a big sound typical of
trailers of films,
Stormdrum, with percussions such as
Godzilla Hits or
Earthquake Ensemble will be satisfied. The sound is powerful, recorded well, rich... With a light reverberation dose not to stifle the sound, percussions come to life.
Main job will consist in constructing interesting loops. In front of the number of available percussions and different variants, it is sometimes difficult to make its choice. That is why it is not useless to go through the library in diagonal to hear what she offers.
Attention however not to fall in the cliché too much spread of "
trailers in the American style" where music comes down only to rhythm: that of percussions. The massive use of percussions is not therefore recommended at the risk of making them lose their power and to make them almost monotonous.
It is however necessary to note that
Stormdrum also contains ethnic percussions which will find their place very well in a composition with East West Quantum Leap RA. Drum kit kits are also interesting for compositions rock although those gifts in East West Quantum Leap Ministry Of Rock is fuller.
To finish, East West Quantum Leap Stormdrum 2 is a library which holds promises. Superb range of percussions, exceptional qualities of recording. The amateurs of big percussions or ethnic instruments will be filled up, there is as all tastes. Loops MIDI offered give besides a working first base. It is not however useless to remind that if this library is interesting, a piece should not therefore contain that percussions.
