Decadence Trailer Toms is a cinematic drum library crafted by the renowned sound designer Karel Psota and released by AVA Music Group. The library is currently available for €86 (excl. tax), and we have three FREE copies available for three lucky BPB readers.
This fully NKS-compatible Decadence Trailer Toms library works with the free Kontakt Player, which is always welcome news.
Karel Psota is an outstanding musician, composer, and sound designer whose work in film, TV, and video games is second to none.
Karel is best known for his meticulous attention to detail, making him the ideal person to oversee a project like Decadence Trailer Toms.
Karel Psota and AVA Music Group spent three years crafting Decadence Trailer Toms, recording as many toms as possible and blending sounds to create unique tones.
Several years of deep sampling resulted in a cinematic percussion instrument that sounds more organic than any I recall hearing.
Trailer Toms provides ten velocity layers and nine round robins to create nuanced performances that sound naturally dynamic.
The library includes various toms, war drums, darbuka, booms, taps/tops, kicks, snares, claps/sticks, and cymbals.
Each element of this collection serves a particular function.
For example, the Magnum Toms create texture and are intentionally less punchy, allowing the following sounds to cut through. Similarly, the taps and tops are smaller drums, perfect for creating inner rhythms between larger drums.
Of course, you can use each drum however you please, but Trailer Toms has you covered for any typical trailer music and media composition scenario.
Many sounds in this library are inspired by celebrated composers and scores. Mad Max inspired the 3WAY Toms, the Le Pilat Darbuka was inspired by Dune 2, and the Defeat War Drum provides deep, powerful percussion that is undeniably Hans Zimmer-esque.
Trailer Toms features a step sequencer and an advanced FX GUI with rearrangeable modules. It also features over 150 customizable MIDI patterns ready to be dropped straight into your project or used as a starting point.
As much as I love cinematic instruments, I don’t always get too excited about playable percussion libraries because even the best ones typically need some work or layering. Still, I’m so impressed by Trailer Toms.
On a different note, I know some readers had trouble with the TONEX Metal Gems freebie at Audio Plugin Deals, but it seems to be running smoothly again. Grab it while it’s free!
