Indian percussive samples

Post by yvonnicknoel »

Hello,

I just found these samples which might be of interest to some of you:

Hopefully some SFZ guru will exert his magic here :-)

Best,

Took a quick listen. They're not all that great. Nearly all of them are cut way too short, and so the natural drum decay is missing. Some are clipped (in amplitude), They're all mono. A little bit of hiss too.

I'm not going to do anything with these, The tabla I already found is better.

I concur as well, even with the updated samples. Some of the samples need to be split into parts and when I played #27 in the Ghatam Samples folder, it sounded like it got cut off at the end to keep the file size small.

At least Ghatam is the type of sound I'm looking for, especially when used in a song called "I Can't Wait To Be King" with the bouncy sound from the very beginning.
