This library brings the expertise of world-class percussionist Joby Burgess and GRAMMY-winning engineer Simon Rhodes to your compositions, providing a rich, detailed, and dynamic metallic sound palette that elevates your rhythms with stunning realism.

From traditional orchestral metals to unconventional sound sources such as oil drums, trash cans, waterphones, and scaffold poles, this library features 58 unique instruments, including cymbals, tam-tams, triangles, anvils, cowbells, agogos, guiras, and many more. Each instrument is sampled with up to 10 dynamic layers and 10 round robins, ensuring natural variation and expressive playability.

The Metal Percussion Core excels in versatility, offering a wealth of playing techniques and articulations, including mallets, brushes, sticks, hammers, bowed cymbals, scrapes, and superball drags. It also features advanced playability options like discrete right- and left-hand performances, two-handed layout, and voice choking for realistic interaction between sounds.

Ideal for cinematic scoring, industrial sound design, or adding unique percussive textures to any music genre, this library invites you to explore a broad spectrum of metallic timbres—from sharp, punchy hits to ethereal, shimmering atmospheres.
