Hollywood Fantasy Percussion is the percussion component of Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra, a series assembled so that you can create cinematic fantasy masterpieces of any size and scale, and which includes unique ensembles of world instruments that have been featured in the biggest movies and games in history, mixed with modern octave-doubled orchestral sections that perfectly complement Hollywood Orchestra. Its percussion material is chosen for medieval, Renaissance, and fantasy contexts rather than for a modern orchestral percussion section — which is the specific gap it fills.

Its contents are documented precisely within the series accounting: 17 instruments and 10 GB of 24-bit, 44.1 kHz samples, the smallest sample allocation of the five libraries in the collection, which reflects a focused percussion set rather than a comprehensive orchestral percussion library. The wider series totals 380 instruments — 147 Strings, 45 Brass, 73 Winds, 17 Percussion, and 98 Voices — across 60 GB (Strings), 17 GB (Brass), 19 GB (Winds), 10 GB (Percussion), and 38 GB (Voices). Crucially, the collection was recorded in full stereo mic placement in the historic EastWest Studio One, the same recording studio as the legendary Hollywood Orchestra series, and all of the instruments have been recorded in the same studio as the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition and using the same microphone options, so sonically you can easily achieve a coherent sound should you wish to combine the two libraries. It also feeds the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator, which adds an additional Voices instrument section alongside the existing instrument sections to give you a total of 5 sections to create complex orchestrations: strings, brass, winds, percussion, and voices, where Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator requires Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra and is not a standalone product. Requirements for Opus libraries are macOS 10.15 or higher (64-bit) or Windows 10 or higher (64-bit with an ASIO sound driver), with a quad-core CPU (octa-core recommended) at 2.7 GHz or higher, 16 GB RAM (32 GB or more recommended), and an SSD hard drive (SATA or PCIe). It suits fantasy film, television, and game scoring, along with trailer music and hybrid cinematic production.
