Pitch Innovations has introduced a new collection of playable ceremonial percussion kits for its Sonic Atlas virtual instrument.
Featuring three rare South Indian traditions, Temple Drums of India was recorded with 40 real temple musicians. The collection includes 3,951 samples combining playable one-shots, loops, velocity layers, round robins, and ensemble performances for cinematic, electronic, hybrid, and modern productions.
Where the Streets series captured the raw energy of India’s processions and the Tapes series captured its folk and cinematic rhythms, Temple Drums of India goes inside the ancient walls and traditions of South India.
The complete bundle is on sale for the intro price of $99 USD for a limited time, while the individual packs are $49 USD each (regular $79 USD).
- Pancha Vadhyam captures Kerala’s classic five-instrument temple orchestra — Thimila, Maddalam, Idakka, Ilathalam and Kombu — performed at temple festivals and processions.
- Chenda Melam captures the huge temple percussion ensembles of Kerala, performed at the state’s biggest temple festivals with dozens of players locked into one rhythm.
- Kailaya Vathiyam captures the deep barrel drum of Tamil Nadu’s temple ceremonies, performed during processions, festivals and large public gatherings.
The offer is available at Plugin Boutique, VST Alarm, and from the Pitch Innovations store until September 28th, 2026.
