Looking for a free cinematic percussion soundfont (or a way to kludge my own together with existing options)

• Aug 17, 2018 - 03:11

Been an amateur (emphasis on the word) composer for myself for several years, just loving the ability to create things that my fingers could never do on piano--now getting back in and wanting to expand my repertoire a bit. I'm working on a strings-heavy piece that could really benefit from some cinematic percussion (the "epic drums" you hear in a lot of Hans Zimmer/Prime Cronus/TSFH music), but I don't know how to replicate that on my own.

I have the following soundfonts:
HQ Orchestral
Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra
Timbres of Heaven

And obviously the "standard MIDI" that came with my computer.

What I'm looking for is either some combination of those, through instrumentation or otherwise, that allows me that big, massive, "Taiko-drum-esque" dual-sticking sound that can be reverberating through the bass of my track. Any tips? Thank you so much in advance. ^_^
