World Percussion - fb on mix?

Post by hummingbird » Tue Jan 17, 2017 9:02 pm

I was wondering if the mix and composition is okay? They want 90 secs I could trim some off the start...
Here's the track - https://soundcloud.com/hummingbirddraft ... at/s-711gB

Listing - WORLD MUSIC PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Media Giant for inclusion in its Exclusive, In-House Music Library and placements in its numerous TV shows, documentaries and online media. They pay an initial buyout fee of $250 for 100% of the Composition and Master rights (more info below).

This request is pretty wide-ranging and they’re looking for a lot of material to stock their catalog! Give them Cues that are either just Percussion, or that primarily feature Percussion. Some genres that come to mind are: Latin (of all types), Afro-Cuban, Middle Eastern, Celtic, Native American, Polynesian, African, Cajun, Indian, Asian, Caribbean, etc, etc, etc…

Traditional West African Percussion Ensemble:

Ethnic Drum Ensemble of Kerala:

“1001 Drums” by Rex Benincasa:

Give them rhythmically engaging Instrumental Cues that mainly only use percussive instrumentation and no other instruments or sounds. They’re open to percussive music styles, both current and traditional from any part of the world. Your Submission can range from African Conga beats to Middle Eastern Doumbek, to even a Latin drum ensemble and so on. You’d be wise to stick to percussion from a single region, rather than mixing up styles within the same Cue. Your Cues could be anywhere from slower moving pieces to rhythmically driving and more intense.

Please submit Cues that are approximately 90 seconds in length.
