Tool Shed Percussion | Future Music

Reviewer: Michael Ross Back to Tool Shed Percussion product details

Like 8-bit kits, Big Fish Audio's Tool Shed Percussion takes a creative approach to the drum sample disc, with bizarre drum kits fashined from steel tine leaf rakes, saw blades, bowed gas tanks, crusty paint rollers, pleather suitcases and even sheet metal. These odd items are beautifully integrated with hard-to-find traditional instruments like concert bass drums, parade snare drums from the Fifties, tom toms played with brushes, gongs, bowed cymbals and gravel-filled shakers, all arranged into off-beat but totally musical grooves for fans of the Tom Waits school of junkyard drums. This 1.2 GB collection includes 49 construction kits, numerous individual instrument loops and 600 individual hits. Loops and hits are unprocessed and relatively dry, encouraging even more ountre' approaches. - MICHAEL ROSS
