Percussa Toolbox is an impressive free collection of percussion samples which were recorded and edited by Richard Gould.

The Library

Percussa Toolbox features a set of 89 royalty-free percussive hits, capturing the sound of various percussive instruments such as chimes, cymbals, rain sticks, ocean drums, and a thunder tube, among others. The library is yet another fine example of Richard Gould’s brilliant sound design work, following the previously released The Warehouse sound pack. Percussa Toolbox provides a rich and versatile collection of percussive sounds that can be used as musical elements or foley sounds and eerie metallic sound effects.

Being more than just a simple collection of percussion hits, Percussa Toolbox provides an interesting set of SFX sounds that were created using some less common techniques such as bowed cymbals and some quite rare percussive instruments such as the ocean drum and the thunder tube. The library also contains an assortment of standard percussion samples featuring the sounds of shakers, cymbals, rain sticks, and chimes.
