Available for download, Cinematic Drums from FXpansion is an expansion pack intended for use with Geist and Geist2—though it can be used with any sample engine supporting 24-bit/44.1 kHz WAV, AIFF, and RX2 files. Sporting over 2GB worth of 1300 WAV samples, this library offers the sound of many players striking dramatic hits at once, thus making it well suited toward sound design and soundtrack work for theater, TV, and film. This pack was created by composer Jacques Mathias, whose music has appeared in films such as Automata.
This pack features 10-kit ensembles for kicks, snare, toms, and more. If you are using these samples within Geist or Geist2, you'll be able to access 14 kit presets and 15 engine presets, as well as 26 pattern banks. Furthermore, larger ensembles are offered for individual instruments. As this is a sample library, Cinematic Drums is compatible with Mac and PC platforms.
