YoungProdigy Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hey, YoungProdigy here. I'm looking for a VST that has those big, aggressive drums that you'll generally hear in film music and video games. If you want an example of what I'm talking about... Listen to the drums in this track from COD: AW.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Heavyocity's Damage is always a good bet for cinematic action percussion -- its Hybrid FX Hits category has several patches that sound similar to the percussion on the track you linked. Stormdrum 2's Godzilla Hits patch also sounds sort of similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man. I'll probably check Stromdrum 2 out and see if it's what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 There's also Impact's Cinematic Synthetic Drums, which is free for Kontakt or in WAV format. Worth adding to anyone's library just 'cause. They're definitely fakey, but the sample you provided is heavily electronic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Stormdrum 2 is quite good, and you can find a lot of template MIDI files that can get you a fairly decent start to making some. Only thing to watch out for is that you might get a copy of Stormdrum that has some of the drum settings that are ONLY hard panned to one side and won't go to the other at all. This has happened on my copy and I've never been able to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 You could get that sound very easily combining Drums of War and Juggernaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pl511 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'd definitely recommend Stormdrum 2 as well, I've only had good experiences with it so far. Some of the patches will be really useful in basically every situation, with a lot of sound design, ambient, and subtle percussion as well as some incredibly heavy hitting samples (Roman War Ensemble, Godzilla Hits and The Beast being the stand outs). Things like the hang drum and some of the more bongo-sounding drums make for some really interesting additions to an overall composition too, and the experience working with each of the different instruments is pretty much invaluable having not touched percussion before I picked it up.

timaeus222 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I would second Juggernaut (audio demo) and Damage. I use those pretty often. Edited March 2, 2015 by timaeus222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
