On Tape Percussion, the Nok Cultural Ensemble centre diverse Afro-diasporic percussive traditions expressed through free jazz sensibilities and glitching beats, extending the futuristic pulse of dub technologies. This intuitive toolkit opens with 5 one-shot jazz kits and 6 one-shot African percussion patches, followed by Caribbean rhythms and dub-inspired warps over 8 drum loops, 69 atmospheric scenes, and 13 tonal, melodic warped presets — complemented by a range of in-built FX. Recorded to tape at the legendary Ariwa Studios, these sounds and textures thrum, crackle, and crash with new possibilities for modern tracks and contemporary media scores. Led by Edward Wakili-Hick, this collective of percussion prodigies are all leading lights playing across various genres underpinning London’s eclectic jazz and beat scenes.

The sounds are really clear and playable. I don't have anything against NKS, I use Kontakt all the time, but the Spitfire engine is what I expected.
ok........
Great sound and easy to install.
Honestly it don't sounds so great. Limited much sounds and loops. Thanks.
What separates these percussion from other sample packs is the effect slide with which you can get interesting and unique sounds
Some amazing sounds in this library. Having just come back from the Caribbean and listening to the different musical cultures there, this library was exactly what I was looking for.
superb value, love the sounds
Really 70's. Works perfect.
Lovely unique percussions. Please more release like this!
I need more time to say something clever, but... Really inspiring
authentic, genuine, suitable for various genres, top service as usual, sensational quality, great fun to use.
Such a fun plugin to use. Very easy to get inspired by the sounds.
Love this. Just can't have enough drums can you and these sound fantastic. They fit the sort of vibe I'm looking for in my music. The kits, even single hits just sound so funky. A great selection of kits, loops, atmospheres. The tonal warps are great for mucking about with. I'm amateur, bedroom composer, really just learning but love everything I've ever got from Spitfire, however, this Nok Cultural Ensemble is superb.
Very good quality rare percussive sounds. Loops also good. The plugin works well in the host environment. (NI)
Nice percussions...and useful grooves.
This library is unique with the ability to ad and shape fresh sounding percussion samples to my mixes!
Great for old school boom bap beats
A novel and creative tool with a great sound.
Great sound, new inspirations
