There's quite a lot of past threads about this. I'd suggest using the search function.anything?
Yep. If you can only get one, get Damage!I know you are looking for an end all be all but, in my experience at least, combining perc libraries is where the magic is. Also think of perc like a piano or string section. The lower the instruments frequencies the more sparse it should be played rhythmically to accent things. Then the higher up the frequency spectrum you go the faster the rhythms you can play and the closer together you can have instruments in the same frequency space (ie you can have many different hi hat type sounds and tell them apart whereas doing the same with two low drums would be harder when played in the same range.
Here are some of my favs
Low End:
HZ Perc
8dio Epic Frame
Any Hybrid library with decent booms
Metropolis ARK 1 or 3 (ensemble lib but has some juicy low end)
Action Strikes
Punchbox (kick drum creator, great for getting some clean attack)
Mid:
8dio epic series
DAMAGE
Cerberus
Master Ensembles Collection
SAGA
Strikeforce
CinePerc
Action Strikes
High:
Shimmer And Shake
DAMAGE (has some great high end stuff)
ISW Momentum
Any Hybrid Library with 'high' rhythmic stuff
Metal/Chime
TrueStrike
Orchestral Tools Percussion
CinePerc
I am sure there are some obvious ones I am missing but I just woke up so I will see what else I lean on
If you can only get one, get DAMAGE. It covers the most ground with the highest consistency. It also covers organic to Hybrid so its flexible.
