Thunder Drums is a sound effects library designed to deliver powerful low-frequency impacts, rumbles, and strikes for cinematic sound design. It features non-traditional percussion instruments, including a thunder tube (spring drum), loose drumheads, and large plexiglass sheets, struck with mallets and drumsticks to produce a wide range of impacts, thunder-like rumbles, deep strikes, and heavy drum hits.
In addition to raw recordings, the library includes designed elements enhanced with granular processing, distortion, and impulse response reverbs. Perfect for sound design in film, games, and trailers where powerful hits and low-end energy is needed.
All sounds were captured using a Sennheiser MKH 8050 microphone and Zoom F6 recorder at 32-bit / 192kHz, and are delivered as 24-bit / 192kHz WAV files. The library includes 185 files (512 sounds), is 3.7 GB in size, and is fully UCS-compliant with embedded metadata.

Have you ever heard a material that sounds like nothing else? Listen to the magical timbre of obsidian needles. Obsidian is a volcanic stone that, in very rare places on earth, solidifies into needle shape that produces a very unique sound, purer than metal and smoother than glass.
I collected hundreds of these needles and I built 3 chimes with the needles that sounded best. Sound effects were recorded both with Sanken CO-100K and Sennheiser MKH 8040. All recordings and processed sounds contain a lot of ultrasonic frequencies, thus can be pitched with a great flexibility.
Have a listen to the unheard and create magic, ice, glass or any new sound effect you want.
• Dozens of chime recordings
• 200 needles individually sampled
• 40 ready-to-use processed sound effects
• 192 KHz/24 bit
