Royale Rhythm Percussion
A found 'Drumkit' recorded in a stairwell.

The story
One of the theatres I work in has a brick fire escape leading down from the Gallery. The reverb has always intrigued me.
So I took a Korg field recorder, some stage paraphernalia and a drum stick and recorded some samples.
I’ve made the resulting recordings into this sample instrument. It is effectively a foley collection but I have formatted it as a GM drum kit.
The instrument consists of four different signals – the original, one pitch shifted down an octave, one shifted up an octave and a reversed signal. The matrix of sliders in the GUI allow the user to create their own mix of these signals.
Each sample has 4 round robins and there are two velocity layers.
It’s not groundbreaking but I hope people will be able to create some interesting ideas with it.
Have Fun.
Cheers
Jon

Whoa! Super tight and usable percussion!
This library rocks. If you're looking for unique, super tight, instantly usable and inspiring percussion, look no further. Including the ability to blend in pitch shifted versions of the drums is genius. The sampling is excellent, and I found this sample pack super inspiring.
It's worth noting that there's a lot of low end information in some of the samples that you'll probably want to EQ out, so I'll probably end up using this one multiple tracks so I can keep the lows in things like the kicks, but eliminate them from the other sounds. That's easy enough to work around, however.
This is one of my favorite percussion downloads on Piano Book. Excellent work here!
Love the reverberation
Initially you might feel disoriented while exploring the samples by their respective labels ... but once you get your feet wet this instrument quickly yields warm and natural percussive sounds that linger in a wonderful reverberant space. This one grooves all by itself and was fun to play especially with the reversed sounds turned up. Thanks for this!
It jumps out the speakers¡¡
You can get a lot of variation from a small number of sounds. It has a very special room tone. Super clean samples. Responds well to compressors. Not only is it good for foley sounds as well but also as a battery kit. A different drum machine that jumps out of the speakers.
