Why we like it

Cinematic Strikes earns its place in the toolfarm library as a large percussive collection built for cinematic and trailer work, pairing an editable Construction Kit with ready-made Designed sounds.

What is BOOM Library Cinematic Strikes?

BOOM Library Cinematic Strikes is a percussive sound effects library from BOOM Library's Cinematic Series, focused on big-sounding drums. It covers hits, flams, rolls, swells, singles and ensembles, spanning devastating cracks and stomps, crisp swells and rolls, and epic ensemble hits.

The Construction Kit edition is a flexible sound design toolkit built to cover the full frequency range, from low-end booms and aggressive cracks to mid-range body impacts, reverberant tails and sweeteners. It offers single and ensemble hits, flams and swells using various drums and beaters, three coherent microphone positions, and control over the attack and release of each sound. The Designed edition layers and processes those sounds into ready-to-use results such as BOOMS, WHOOSH HITS, CRACKS and PUNCHES, and the Bundle combines both editions at a discounted price.

Delivered as WAV files at 24-bit / 96kHz for Windows and Mac, the library is particularly useful for filmmakers and trailer sound designers. A demo video is available.
