More percussion is coming your way -- Soniccouture has released Pan Drums, an update to the company's virtual percussion instrument library for Native Instruments Kontakt.

With this version of Pan Drums, the Hang drums are joined by not one, but two new Halo drums and a pair of Rock Creek tongue drums. The Pan Drums library offers a massive 4 GB of completely new data, along with much of the original library's contents, for a total of 7.25 GB of samples, Kontakt Player instruments, presets, and more.

Pan Drums comes in a redesigned Kontakt Player interface with articulation display, a new hand-noise control, a comprehensive effects section, and 50 sound design presets and templates for Native Instruments Maschine and Korg Nanopad.
