Help Wanted: Taiko/War Drums Samples or SoundFont

[EnnervateIndustries]

Like in the title, does anyone have a link to a good sample set or SoundFont of taiko drums or war drums? I'm looking for something a bit like the ones used by Two Steps From Hell, or any other orchestral songs with an "epic" sound.

For reference:

I assume you're looking for something along the lines of Cinesamples "drums of war?"

http://cinesamples.com/products/drums-of-war/

I might be able to find something on my hard drive for you, if you're patient. I have to head out to work like right now, so it'll be later on tonight/tomorrow. (if I still even have what I'm thinking of)

Also worth noting, what DAW do you use? Do you have Kontakt or another type of sampler?

[EnnervateIndustries]

Let me rephrase that: A link or download of free taiko/war drums SoundFont or samples. I would love to be able use ProjectSAM or Cinesamples's stuff, it's excellent, but they cost a couple of limbs apiece and using Kontakt drives me nuts.

[Foxtrot89]

I figured that much, but I was just wondering if those type of products were what you were looking for. I assume they are. I'll get around to finding some samples, then, when I get home.

I have a soundfont with Taiko drums but the file is huge (it has other instruments too)
Check the topic I started about soundfonts in a couple(?) hours.

This one?

Let me know if that suits your needs. If it does, then I can give up the quest of scrounging through 1.5TB of stuff.

Got em, no problem.

Did you send a PM or something? The Soundfonts in that thread don't seem especially focused on taiko drums or any kind of drums in particular.

I'd be interested in a link too, if you had something else in mind.

I sent a PM, though it was only six .wav samples, so I'm not sure how much you'd care to have them. The main reason I didn't just outright post them is because I'm not entirely aware of their origin, so I didn't really know where to give credit. If you want them I could easily get them to you, though. I think the zip file should be up on 4shared, still. Just let me know.

It's 4 seperate taiko hits and 2 stick/whatever the hell you'd call it samples.
