Reviews
Traveler Series: Bodhrans & Bones – Rekkerd.org
“This isn’t the only frame drum sample library out there, but it is definitely one of the most comprehensive ones. With its pretty, intuitive interface and beautifully recorded instruments, the attention to detail and quality is apparent. The way you can change pitch and dampening of the bodhrans allows for truly realistic performances, and with such ease. The various types of drums and articulations offer a surprisingly wide palette of sounds.”

Traveler Series: Bodhrans & Bones – Professionalcomposers.com
“If you want a true and authentic sound of traditional instruments, played on location by experienced players, in order to record the very root, heart and history of the sound the Traveler Series by Red Room Audio will feel like a blessing to you. I was actually very surprised by how much I enjoyed the Bodhran because of the power and control it gave me as a composer to control both the pitch and also to dampen the sound. This gave me ideas for making energy-rising rolls, crescendos, fills etc. for transitions.”
