So hear is the listing... TAXI # S211130PR
PERCUSSION-Based INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a great Publisher with an awesome track record of really big placements in TV Commercials!

This Publisher is looking for a bunch of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals that could fit stylistically on a playlist with the following examples:

McDonald's Commercial

Boulevard Brewing Commercial

Please submit well-produced, impactful Instrumentals that feature Percussive instruments as their focal point. Some additional instrumentation is okay, but the main focus of your pieces should be their infectious rhythms. Be sure your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use are polished and high-quality. This Publisher wants music that's going to get viewers pumped up and excited about what's being advertised in the commercial – give them that!

IMPORTANT TAXI Tip: Simpler is almost always better for pitches like this! Don't try to win "Percussionist of the Year" by submitting complex rhythms or too many instruments. Simpler tracks seem to work much more effectively when used with dialogue and voice-overs in TV commercials.

Submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This is pretty cool! Nice job leaving edit points as well. You might try backing off the reverb though, the McDonald's reference is much drier. Good luck! DK
