ProjectSAM True Strike holds the percussion libraries of choice for film and game composer wanting big, powerful and cinematic percussion samples.

True Strike is ProjectSAM's distinctive percussion series, the ultimate percussion source for film, tv, game
and media composers. True Strike "Cinematic Orchestral Percussion" is the first in the series, covering
symphonic percussion. Recorded in the familiar ProjectSAM concert setting, it is the most powerful sounding
and versatile orchestral percussion library available.


True Strike features some of the most powerful orchestral percussion samples you will ever encounter.
Blockbuster snare ensemble hits, huge "tutti" samples and powerful timpani and gran casa.

This library covers a worthy 51 orchestral percussion instruments in total. Each of these instruments is
offered in 3 mic positions: close, stage and far.

True Strike was recorded in the same, beautiful concert hall as our orchestral brass libraries. Offering 3
mic sets, you get to choose the distance from the player and the amount of hall ambience in the sample.

THE LIBRARY
This is the new Multi-Format re-release of ProjectSAM's acclaimed True Strike orchestral percussion sample
library. True Strike was recorded in the warm environment of a concert hall which gives it its deep,
powerful, cinematic sound. The library gives you lively recordings of orchestral percussion instruments such
as timpani, gran casa, snares, tom toms, cymbals, tam tam, tubular bells, glockenspiel, vibraphone, celesta,
various small percussion and metal hits.
The list doesn't stop here. True Strike covers much more, including bongos, congas, timbales, rototoms,
cowbells, castanets, crotales and various unique human percussive sounds. All-in-all, True Strike offers you
51 percussion instruments.
One of True Strike's most popular banks is the Tutti Hits: big, ambient hits played with two gran casas and
timpani.

TIMPANI
The timpani is one of the biggest instrument banks found in True Strike. You will find an extensive list of
playing techniques: up to 6 dynamics, sustained and dampened notes, tremolo, tremolo crescendo in three
lenghts, crescendo-decrescendo and hard mallet fortissimo. Suspenseful special effects such as pedal bends
and cymbal/bowl on timpani.

GRAN CASA & SNARES
True Strike is aimed at cinematic use. Therefore the gran casa and snare ensemble are the most powerful and
deep recordings you will find. Load up the stage or far microphone set and scare those aliens back to their
home world. The library also includes single snare drum (snares on and off), military drum and field drum
samples.

TUTTI
One of the most popular patches in True Strike is the Ensemble Hits bank. These are ensemble recordings of
gran casa and low-tuned timpani playing together. Big and bad.

MELODIC INSTRUMENTS
True Strike covers five melodic percussion instruments: glockenspiel, marimba, vibraphone and celesta. This
last, beautiful instrument is the very first sampled in a concert hall and offered in 3 microphone positions.

THE RECORDINGS
All samples in True Strike are offered to you in 3 microphone sets, each with its own unique sound:
- Close (bright and direct)
- Stage (orchestral setting)
- Far (wide and ambient)

AN ACCLAIMED COLLECTION
True Strike has a large user base of top composers working in the film, tv and video game industry. To quote
some of them:

~ Bill Brown (CSI:NY): "The impact of the ensemble hits alone would be worth the price of the set for me.
Finally, percussion that sounds like it has been recorded on a Hollywood sound stage!"
~ Brian Tyler (Constantine): "The SAM True Strike library possesses unmatched musicality and realism. You can
sense the presence of the player behind the instrument - not just the instrument itself."
~ Robert Kral (Angel): "When I first loaded the Gran Casa and played it I could have sworn it was being
performed before me in the room! It's big and beefy, but the high end is also captured accurately giving an
almost 3-D sound."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound on Sound recently gave True Strike a 5 ouf of 5 rating:
"I used True Strike to add [...] orchestral percussion to a TV-music cue, and was immediately impressed by
the low-end wallop of the timpani and bass drum, so much so that I began to fear for my speaker cones. In the
'far' miking, the hall ambience adds explosive force to these booming hits. At first I feared the piatti
samples might prove less potent, but after wading through the obligatory batch of choked and semi-choked hits,
I found the bright, triumphal cymbal splashes I was looking for. The library's layout is straightforward and
logical, so finding the right sounds took only a few minutes. True Strike hits the mark — its musicality,
instrumental scope, and excellent concert-hall sound fully deserve a five-star rating." - Dave Stewart
