Introducing PERRCS: The Latest Orchestral Plug-in in Hans Zimmer’s Symphonic Elements Series
Add cinematic motion, shimmer, and detail to your rhythm section with this high-end percussion plug-in.
August 7th, 2025

Straight from Hans Zimmer’s Library
When we say percussion is the heartbeat of cinematic music, we don’t just mean the booms. We mean the pulse. The breath. The spark that makes a scene feel like it’s moving. And that’s where PERRCS comes in.
This new orchestral plug-in, was built from Hans Zimmer’s personal collection of percussion recordings, PERRCS delivers the details that define modern film scores, the subtle shimmer after an impact, the rattle that builds tension before a cut, the sharp snap that wakes the audience up without saying a word.
PERRCS goes beyond being a percussion plugin, it is a performance engine, built to slot into real productions without fuss, without programming, and without clutter.
“With Symphonic Elements, we’re giving you something that I’ve been playing with for many years, so you can go make your own music, go crazy, tear it all apart and make something new out of it that knocks our socks off."
- Hans Zimmer
DRUMS & PERRCS: A Cinematic Percussion Plugin Duo
Both DRUMS and PERRCS were built using Zimmer’s personal recordings, captured at Remote Control Studios. That means they blend naturally. Same room tone, same attention to dynamics, same cinematic flavor. If you’re building out your collection of orchestral tools and percussion, this pairing offers one of the most flexible and musical combinations available.
DRUMS covers the low and midrange with bass drums, toms, snares, and timpani. It delivers impact and weight. PERRCS lives above it all with sticks, shakers, rimshots, tambourines, furrocos, rotos, boobams, and other top-end percussion. It provides clarity, pace, and the kind of detail that keeps a track moving without overpowering it.
When used together, they go beyond most percussion plugins, they feel like a full section. DRUMS provides the foundation. PERRCS brings the detail that shapes the groove.

What makes it work
Like all orchestral plugins in the Symphonic Elements series, PERRCS is built around a style-based phrase engine. Choose a style, and start playing. Every phrase locks to your tempo and responds musically. The timing feels natural. The layering feels live.
You also get solo elements for accents, builds, and quick fills. They are great for adding extra energy without writing a full part.
Both low and high layers can be blended with a single control. Each layer has its own Character, Motion FX, and EQ, so you can shape them separately. You can create clean contrast or tight glue with very little effort.
For more creative options, PERRCS includes the Finisher section. Add shimmer, dirt, space, or movement in one click. Keep it clean, push it forward, or turn it into something entirely different.
From Film Scores to Pop: The Hans Zimmer Orchestra VST That Fits Anywhere
PERRCS was made for cinematic work, but the sound fits just as well in chart-ready pop, moody hip hop, or experimental electronic tracks. And when paired with DRUMS, it becomes a Hans Zimmer orchestra VST setup that covers everything from subtle textures to full cinematic power. The engine adapts to your timing. The sounds adapt to your mix. It fits behind a piano in a pop track, under a beat in hip hop, or as a pulse in electronic music.
And it always feels fast. Just open, play, and adjust.
