We are proud to present Cinematic Thunder: Epic Orchestral Toms. Recorded in a large concert hall in central California from three mic positions for complete flexibility, Cinematic Thunder delivers an epic sound. From soft and warm to big and bombastic, Cinematic Thunder is an absolute and indispensable production tool.

Cinematic Thunder contains four master patches: Solo Sticks, Solo Mallets, Group Hits and Group Random. The master patches are the natural sound as they were recorded. Each master patch has a corresponding “Slam" patch.  The slam versions have a bigger,  more aggressive sound that is perfect for your next trailer or action cue.

Each drum in the “Solo” patches has left and right hand hits, flams, 3-stroke ruffs, 5-stroke ruffs, and rolls.  There are also combo hits in the highest octave. The Combo hits consist of two toms being struck simultaneously.  We sampled hits from highest pairs to lowest.  In other words, 8”&10” toms, 10”&12” toms, 12”&14” toms, 14”&16” toms, and 16”&18” toms.

Each drum in the “Group Hits” patch has left and right hand hits, and flams.  Like the “Solo” patches, there are also combo hits in the highest octave.  The “Group Random” patch is a great patch for adding big accents, it contains only single hits and flams played at maximum volume (fff).

Cinematic Thunder is powered by the industry-leading Kontakt engine. It is compatible with VST, AudioUnit, AAX (Pro Tools 10 & 11) and RTAS (Pro Tools 9 & 10) plug-in formats allowing it to work seamlessly within any major sequencer, in addition to standalone use.

Lyrics:

Rather divorce yr thoughts then have the remorse hit hard
Sleep and ignore the knocking
Maybe they'll see yr smile 
And then you can tear it all apart
You can tear up, apart

We found the lord in Boston
Selling a foreign car
Ask him to tell our fortune
Maybe he'll see yr smile 

And then you can tear it all apart
You tear it up, part
You could tear it all apart

Foreign Cars

Had some more fun with the guitar. Haven't finished yet, the guitar lead at the end is going to be a bit smoother, still working out the solo. I'll also probably re-record the guitar that's got the flanger on it, as that seems slightly out of tune compared to the rest of the song. Probably going to let this run to 3 minutes and leave it at that. 

Kit used:
DIY stratocaster
Behringer Deepmind 12
Fender P-bass, played live and then sampled as a wave table in Serum to add some extra sub
Audiothingies MicroMonsta
Mixture of stock drum samples and my own drum kit, sampled through an MXL-990

Experimental Funk Whatever session 3
