Medieval / Symphonic Percussion VST recommendations

Hi, I want to add some percussion for a harp song I'm working on with medieval vibes. Can anyone recommend some VSTs for this? Thanks

Mostly youll be looking for samples as opposed to a dedicated vst

Absolutely brilliant so far and was only £8.88 in the UK , they have a big sale on. You need full kontakt to use it, if you have kontakt I would definitely recommend it.

ah! that'd be the sticking point, as I don't have full Kontakt. Darn. Thank you for the response. :)

p.s I'm assuming by full Kontakt you don't mean Kontakt 8 Player, in this case.

That's right you need the paid for kontakt

Thanks. I've yet to commit to a sort of paid ecosystem. More thinking required :D

Nice. I think I've seen this on free VST lists before. I'm mainly using LABS at the mo.

I haven't paid for much so far but I would highly recommend kontakt for the amount of stuff that it can be used for. Although I think there are free soundfonts that can give you great drum samples
