Orchestral Tools Tom Holkenborg’s Percussion €299
“I’m [always] thinking about how to get the most out of one instrument, rather than switching between multiple things for different purposes,” Tom Holkenborg explained to us when we chatted with him fresh from completing his own personal ‘Mount Everest’ with that behemoth score for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Though Tom was keeping his cards close to his chest with regards to what was around the corner, this emphasis on wringing the best out of each instrument is underlined more than ever on the second instalment of his sample library series – and folks, it’s the big one.
Though Tom’s first release covered a and – they’re all about that signature ). That’s what this second collaboration with Orchestral Tools aims to provide. Rather than just present an approximation, Tom himself has personally performed, recorded, organised and mixed the samples contained within, which are arranged across seven libraries, in a range of sizes and tunings – and with a startlingly original and engaging approach to performance.
