Audio Imperia’s Cerberus is a barnstorming percussion library featuring 7 mic positions. As well as individual hits it also includes sound design samples and loops.


4

Drum Fury is an appropriately named library from Sample Logic as it’s pretty furious. Simply designed but still sounding impressive, this is a decent mixture of many different drum types.

SAGA Acoustic Trailer Percussion is produced by ever-reliable developer Red Room Audio. It includes powerful orchestral and world ensembles, along with unusual metals and silo hits. 


2

With both a standard and more expensive pro version, Hans Zimmer percussion from Spitfire Audio is a massive encyclopedic collection of modern drums, with a price and download size to match.

Heavyocity’s original Damage has been at the top of its game for years. Damage 2 picks up the baton with 1600 sound sources and ensembles and deserves its position at number one.
