Tamtams & Gongs

Tamtams & Gongs features four Tamtams of different sizes (60, 100, and 130 cm diameter). We’ve recorded not only single hits in various velocities, but also tremolos and scratches – these sounds have become very popular in film scoring and sound design. Unlike the tamtams, the gongs have a definite pitch and a knob in the center. You’ll find gongs played with different mallets (soft, wood, metal) and a bow, including rolls and crescendo articulations. As a third category, the finger cymbals (low and high) are featured with normal strokes, side strokes, and rubs. With Tamtams & Gongs you’ll bring some exotic flavor to your music!
