PERCUSSION-BASED INSTRUMENTAL TRACKS for TV COMMERCIALS are needed by an A-List Music Licensing Company for high-end, big dollar projects! They’ve just recently started using TAXI as a resource, and they’ve loved what they’ve gotten from our members so far! Chances are, you don’t have anything in their catalog yet! Here are just a few examples to check out, but don’t limit your ideas to following the styles in these examples! Activia Percussion Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3ufOOkbR_8 Land Rover Commercial 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stFu2tw11aI “Tribal World”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmHMj1diooM “Bucket Drummin” by Phillup T. Bucket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j5YCdIDgNg Please send them well-recorded, well-produced, Mid-to-Up-Tempo percussion-based Instrumentals that are at least One-Minute Long! Your pieces can be entirely percussion instruments, or mainly percussion, with some minimal, additional instrumentation, as heard in the Land Rover and Activia Commercials. This company often lands really big dollar placements in super, well-known commercials, so they need music that is as classy as the placements they get. In other words, they need material that is just plain better than what can be found in most music libraries. Great sounds, great playing, great mixes, super-infectious rhythms, and truly a cut above! You can send them world/ethnic percussion pieces, marching/drum line pieces, mechanical sounding pieces, pieces that are created using pots, pans, forks, and knives, organic, woodsy sounding pieces with drums, gourds, etc. Use your imagination, but make sure they really punch through and feel like they’d be super-impactful in a high-end TV commercial! We think the trick is to not show how complicated you can make a piece of percussion as much as it is to make people want to move when they hear it. Simple, but powerful! Buttoned/Stinger endings will probably work best, but are not required. Pieces that can be edited in 30 second chunks will likely be appreciated by editors, but again, that’s not a requirement!
