They sound big, yet have a natural transparency I don’t hear in other libraries. The loops are extremely handy for getting an idea going quickly plus the drag and drop midi files are a great way to customize and make it your own. Evolution series seem to have a knack for making not only great sounding libraries but incredibly playable and intuitive interfaces.

World Percussion is a pleasure to work with. It gives me the freedom and creative control to compose the way I want with these incredibly well recorded instruments. I can use this library creatively and organically in my compositions and mixes, as I would live players. That’s a dream come true.

World Percussion. Wow! What great sounds! Just beautiful and transparent. They are by far the best sounding drums I have in my library, and I have a LOT of drums in my library. There are many truly inspirational presets. Wonderful job and really first-class work; I’m very impressed and excited.

World Percussion has added a whole new dimension to my percussion setup. The sound quality is exquisite as are the included MIDI performances. I can see myself using this on many recordings for years to come
