So … I found a washed up whale vertebrae on a remote beach in Iceland and went back with Stille and Klang microphones, drums sticks and xylophone mallets and sampled hundreds of hits.

I sent the samples to Glitched Tones who loaded the recordings into Kontakt to bring you this truly unique percussion collection which will inspire your rhythm tracks whether you work in electronic music, film scoring or game audio.

Featuring 4 main kits of raw, unprocessed hits and 6 custom kits showing off what is possible with some processing, Whale Bone Percussion enables the building of full rhythm tracks or the creation of background enhancements for your existing beats with ease, no matter what genre you are working in.
