BFD Kabuki & Noh Percussion

Sonica and BFD are proud to present Kabuki & Noh Percussion: a fascinating collection of authentically played Japanese percussion instruments and noisemakers.

Features:

• Kabuki & Noh expansion pack for BFD3, 2, BFD Eco and BFD Eco DV
• 56 authentic Japanese percussion instruments, vocal calls and more
• Recorded in painstaking detail with vintage mics and premium preamps
• Includes 156 Grooves

Evoking the emotions and grandeur of the Kabuki stage, the mysteriously profound aesthetic world of Noh theater, and the reverberations of tapped hand drums, Kabuki & Noh Percussion features 56 percussion instruments used in Kabuki and Noh performances. The collection includes a variety of traditional hand drums, pitched drums, bells, gongs and music boxes alongside Noh flute and authentic vocal motifs. Also included are the ashibyoshi foot beats and tsukeuchi sound-effect clappers crucial to Kabuki performance.

Played by master traditional Japanese percussionist Takinojo Mochizuki with alternating left/right hits at up to 99 velocity layers, Kabuki & Noh Percussion is recorded in stunning detail by well-preserved vintage mics and Neve preamps. Recordings took place in an anechoic room similar to the bamboo-curtained orchestra room in a Kabuki theater. Reverb can be added as needed - the recordings preserve the true character of the instruments' sound. Kabuki & Noh Percussion comes complete with 160 grooves that give you instant access to real nagauta and Noh performance rhythm patterns.The full list of kit-pieces included in the pack:
