Ritual Gong Drum is a library of epic bronze percussion sampled with pristine clarity. It is a versatile virtual instrument, ranging from soft taps to ringing hammer blows.
It was brought to the UK by renowned Southeast Asian expert and anthropologist Andrew Turton during his research in the 1970s. Since then, the drum has been part of his private collection of artefacts and musical instruments from the region. The drum was recorded dry.
The library is very playable, with separate left and right hands for easy playing and programming of rolls and crescendos. The user interface allows control over sustain, tape saturation and fine-tuning of the bass, as well as the level and size of the reverb.
