Reviews “As with previous versions of Stormdrum the quality of the recordings is consistently high with plenty of transient detail and just enough room ambience (which of course can be fully controlled via the mixer) to give the instruments space to breathe. SD3 (still) marks itself out as one of the finest ethnic/cinematic percussion libraries money can buy.” – Music Tech Magazine “As with all EastWest instruments its the detail which draws you in. I would go as far as to say that it is the best-sounding set of acoustic sampled percussion I have ever heard. Highly recommended.” – FutureMusic “Stormdrum 3 deserves its place by deftly bridging the worlds music and cinematic paradigms.
