Tambor Cerimonial is a Kontakt instrument from Sounds of the Earth that recreates a ceremonial hand drum associated with Costa Rican indigenous traditions. It requires the full version of Kontakt 7 or later.
Tambor Cerimonial is built around a hand drum made with a local wooden hoop and cowhide, a relatively recent addition to Costa Rican indigenous music. The developer notes that the drum is usually played with a leather-covered wooden drumstick, though it can also be struck by hand. Sounds of the Earth packages the instrument for Kontakt with 154 sample files, giving producers a playable hand drum for world percussion and ceremonial-style arrangements.
The instrument includes 28 audio files and 154 Kontakt sample files, with a total size of 85MB. Eight Kontakt microphone options let you shape the recorded character of the drum, so you can choose a sound that suits the mix.
Because the library is organized as Kontakt samples, you can play it from a MIDI controller or sequencer like any other Kontakt instrument, and layer it with other percussion in your arrangement.
Tambor Cerimonial suits producers who work with world percussion, ceremonial rhythms or organic drum textures. The developer describes the drum as played either with a wooden drumstick or by hand, so you can aim for different strike styles when programming or performing parts.
The instrument requires the full version of Kontakt 7 or later. The free Kontakt Player will not run it and will only operate in demo mode.
