This giant clay vase was chosen specifically for its unique sound and tonal resonance. Producing a wide variety of sounds, this clay drum is a both a percussive and melodic instrument. Ranging from the tonal merimbaesque sounds of the Bottom, to the table-like deep impacts of the Head, to the sharp percussive attack of the Neck, the array of sounds covered by the clay drum are perfect for creating or accenting any track both melodically and percussively. This library includes custom front-panel controls and modwheel automation to allow pitch adjustment of up to +/- 24 semitones, as well as room wetness re-shaping, going from tight and close to full and lush.
