Percussa Toolbox is an impressive free collection of percussion samples that were recorded and edited by Richard Gould.
The free download link is located at the end of this article.
The Library
Percussa Toolbox features 89 royalty-free percussive hits, capturing the sounds of various instruments, including chimes, cymbals, rain sticks, ocean drums, and a thunder tube.
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, foley sounds, and eerie metallic sound effects.
Being more than just a simple collection of percussion hits, Percussa Toolbox offers an interesting set of SFX sounds created with less common techniques, such as bowed cymbals, and 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.
The Artist
All of the sounds included in the Percussa Toolbox sound library were recorded and edited by Richard Gould, who is also the author of The Warehouse sound collection, which you can download for free on our website.
You can find more examples of Richard’s sound design work on his official website, as well as his LinkedIn profile.
