Abbey Road Orchestra: Low Percussion
Introducing the most detailed sample library Spitfire Audio has ever created, and the first in a new flagship series. Crafted for professional composers, producers and sound designers, Abbey Road Orchestra will bring you every section of the orchestra in breathtaking detail.
Low Percussion offers you a whole new level of expression, thanks to over 20 years of sampling experience and innovation. Performed by internationally-renowned percussionist Joby Burgess (Black Panther, Mission: Impossible), and engineered by Grammy-winning engineer Simon Rhodes (Skyfall, Avatar), it’s like having your very own world-class percussionist.
The Lowest Drums, The Highest Quality
Lay the groundwork for your compositions with unrivalled realism with this collection of truly thunderous orchestral and indigenous drums that are beautifully captured in the legendary acoustic of Abbey Road Studio One. Distinguished by its extremely responsive and highly tactile nature, Low Percussion explores the timbral and textural range of 20 drums from across the orchestral repertoire and further, with up to seven beater options per drum, performing hits, rolls, swirls and sweeps sampled in incredible detail. All performed by virtuoso percussionist Joby Burgess.
Studio One: Icon of the past, innovator for the future
A host to celebrated classical recordings from Elgar and Prokofiev, as well as iconic film scores from The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back, and the more recent releases of Avengers: End Game and Black Panther, Studio One needs no introduction. Home to one of the greatest in-house collections of vintage and modern microphones and a control room fitted with a 72-channel Neve 88 RS console with a unique and comprehensive surround monitor section, Studio one is the perfect setting for our meticulously planned recording sessions. Our aim is to work with the best, to deliver you the world’s most detailed sampling orchestra in Abbey Road - one of the most in-demand recording studios in the film scoring landscape.
