I’m very proud to present: The Djemko Drum Ensemble for Kontakt.
This experimental library came about when I pitched down a Djembe I was recording for a project. I quickly realised it sounded a lot like a Taiko drum.
The next day I deep sampled my Djembe, layered it, many many times and ran it through various sound processors.
The results were surprisingly epic and cinematic! Lo and behold the Djemko Drum Ensemble was born.
From the Demo you will hear that this library has a gritty saturated sound which works great in hybrid trailer music or soundtracks.
While its not perfect, I think its sonic imperfections add to the character.
Hope you find it useful.
