Logic Pro 9 Spanish percussion?

[benst]

Hi,

I'm looking for some samples like castagnettes and hand claps that one usually associates with spanish flamenco dances. I could not find any included with Logic 9, any ideas where I could find these (free or cheap)?

Thanks,
Ben

East West's Gypsy has some good, if not great, samples for Spanish music, but that is not cheap.

A more reasonably priced library I recommend is Tonehammer's Anti-Drum Vol. 1

Some good hand clap and boot stomp samples along with a bunch of other fun hits. I like everything I've used by Tonehammer.

Thanks Ethan, I checked Anti-Drum out, but it doesn't include castanets as far as I can see. Another one (Clack) does, but buying two libraries becomes costly.

There are some castanets included in Logic 9 after all. In the EXS24, open Factory>Orchestra>Percussion>Orchestral Kit. Castanets are triggered at C#5 thru D#5.

Thanks! I'll check that out.
