Guilherme Senff, composer
Strike Drums are definitely my favorite library for orchestral drums. I used to find programming orchestral drums for scores incredibly tedious so I always tend to use some sort loop or sample. This plugin is perfect because of the sheer amount of variety and variations it provides in the drum loops. I love that I can find a sample super quickly and easily so I can get right back to composing. This plugin has been a perfect addition to my workflow.

Carefully created by a composer for composers.
I’m Filipe Leitão, an award-winning composer, music producer, and sound designer. I’ve worked on films and concert music, with my works recognized at international festivals like Cannes Short Film Corner, Toronto Film Week, and WorldFest Houston. I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts from The University of Alabama and an MFA in Music Production and Sound Design for Visual Media from the Academy of Art University. At Virginia Commonwealth University, I developed the Media Scoring program, where I currently teach media scoring, MIDI orchestration, and music production.
As a composer, I’m constantly looking for tools that boost creativity and save time in a professional workflow. That’s why I created Strike Drums—a loop-based percussion library packed with cinematic grooves, tempo variations, and mix-ready performances. Whether you’re scoring a trailer, producing game music, or creating hybrid tracks, Strike Drums helps you build powerful rhythmic foundations instantly—no drum programming required.
