PERCUSSION -- UNPITCHED BD, Cast, CrC, Cwb, Gng, Logdrums, Ratch, Shk, SD, Tamb, Tri. Comments: After German company Masterbits issued the original version of Orchestra, customers requested percussion, and this was duly added. Standouts: Strong timps, great gong crescendo roll, and although not strictly orchestral, an interesting set of deep log drums. You also get an orchestra tuning up and people applauding -- so all you have to do is organise what happens in between! Quibbles: Orchestral cymbals (piatti) sound a little apologetic. Contact: Masterbits.
