I think it would be neat if someone could provide some classical percussion instrument samples like Timpani. Erratic was kind enough to provide some. I just think it would be great to have a classical/orchestral percussion pack. Things like dark timpani drum rolls and other assorted percussion effects used by orchestras.

Here is everything you need...

click around till you find the percussion.. there are phrases and notes...

thre is another site I found a while ago but lost the link... it was from a college in chicago I think... mostly pisno and brass stuff...

I searched for 5 years collecting free samples, some of which have since turned into pay sites... There used to be thousands of free samples in all different formats of all different sources but they are hard to find these days... that link above is still good..

Thank you for repointing that site out to me like you did in another thread to someone else. First time I read the terms I thought they weren't free to use commercially.

Just came across this in my search for concert bass drum sound. It may or may not be too late but this sample pack is totally free and it comes with a lot of stuff.
Cheers!
