Smiley Drum

Smiley Drum is a 10-tongue major pentatonic variant of the classic propane drum concept, with a shallower, wider pan than most. It has a simpler, crisper, brighter sound with more subdued overtones than the 8Dio Propanium library. Single notes on the tuned tongues, percussive slaps on the sides and edges and various roll and crescendo effects were recorded to cerate a intricate amount of depth to the instrument. The result is a very playable collection. It makes for a great additional sonic flavor to compliment other tuned percussion libraries and it provides a compact, affordable introduction to our extensive tuned percussion line.
