Free Sample Pack- Black Swamp Tambourine

Picture
This is for all the people who have graciously provided many great,  free samples over the years. I have made my own sample pack featuring a Black Swamp tambourine.

Remember seeing that band where the singer was haphazardly bashing on their hip a plastic circle with thin steel jingles? This is my response to that and my vision of what a tambourine should really sound like. You may be asking, "Tambourine? That's lame, why bother?" Well, I hope to show with these samples the nuance and charm of this instrument that is underestimated. Use it for orchestral scoring, ethnic/ world beats, or to spice up your rhythm tracks with a new sound.
Specs:

Model TD2, 10'' diameter, ash body, calf skin head, hand hammered Phosphor bronze zills

Articulations at several velocity levels: Dry, shake roll, shell pound,  standard hit, thumb roll, staccato thumb roll, zill spin, zill click, head slap, doum and tek.

The samples are in .wav format. I have included a mapping for the sampler ShortCircuit as well.

This sample pack is offered for free, with no guarantees. You may not sell them. If you want to feature it somewhere else ask me first, please. Used it in a track? Share it with me!

Thank you, that looks like one killer tambo. I found your site with the help of Rekkerd.org. and I am looking forward to adding these sounds to my NI Maschine Mikro library and create something. I will keep checking back this looks like an interesting place. Thanks Subtersonic. P.S. Good name.

Hey, I got your RSS feed for my HeadlinesTicker - Firefox add-on RSS feed reader and worked fine but you really need to add a favicon for your URI address and I just noticed there is no icon on the site address. No good, cool icons are all important. Take care.

Hey WaterRabbit, thanks for checking in and the nice comment!
Yeah, good tip. I don't have a favicon at the moment because of my hosting service, I plan to get one going in the future. I am also planning on getting some more samples up in the future.
Sincerely,
Subtersonic

The internet is full of every kind of premade and downloadable hip hop instrumentals, techno samples and rock drum patterns which make it possible for even the musically illiterate to cook up something fresh with nothing more than a sequencer and an internet connection...

A superb collection of samples, perfectly recorded and edited.
Plus, all the velocities and articulations essentially turn this collection into a fully functional instrument, -capable of creating ultra-realistic rhythms.

Thank you so much for creating these samples, much appreciated.
