This is a cinematic percussion/drum library with a huge number of preprogrammed cinematic rhythms along with a decent number of kits and hits. But the main reason I like this particular instrument is not just because of the fact that it’s easy to use. Yes, it is pretty easy to find an appropriate rhythm, and within a minute you can compile a full drum arrangement by choosing one of five variations for every rhythm, having more rhythms easy accessible inside a common window. You can add separate rhythmical elements from high, mid or low, along with ones that contain all three parts, allowing you to build tension and density over time. 

Building on the success of ACTION STRINGS, ACTION STRIKES delivers high-impact, cinematic percussion with ultimate playability. 12 full ensembles plus 65 single instruments and 12 carefully-compiled Hit Sets exclusively recorded in uncompromising quality. 

Hundreds of timeless rhythms, adaptable for any project. And a one-of-a-kind interface that makes creating blockbuster orchestral percussion faster than ever. Become the conductor – this is ACTION STRIKES.

ACTION STRIKES gives you 12 carefully-assembled and meticulously recorded ensembles. Each features its own unique sound, accurately capturing the thrill of a live orchestra.
