Overview

Cinesamples proudly presents Drums of War, a brand new sample library featuring a variety of large, cinematic drums. The founders of Cinesamples are working composers who seek to fill the gap when they find instruments that have not yet been sampled. As with their previous libraries (CineHarp and CineToms), Drums of War taps into sounds that other libraries don’t cover. Drums of War offers new, percussive colors that stretch beyond the standard African and Asian samples that exist today.

Drums of War captures the magnitude and essence of a forgotten battle fought in a forgotten place. The trepidation that proceeds battle can be found in the depth of “Hell’s Deep.” “ Sub Boomz” echo the warmth of a call that inspired the timid long ago. “Ancient Torture Drum” brings to mind long-extinct trees and the skins of beasts that haven’t been seen on the earth in millennia. “War Ensemble” is reminiscent of grand, prehistoric armies that stormed across a rugged landscape, terrorizing all in their wake. “Titan Ensemble” can help to evoke the courage of battle-weary soldiers or the fear of the death knell’s call.
