VST that sounds like the drums in Mining Melancholy (DKC2)

Does anyone know where I can get a sound like the clanging percussion here?

The closest I've been able to find is Ironhead 1.5 by Ugo. It's pretty great but there's a good bit of processing on the samples themselves, so I was hoping I could find something a little more flexible.

Alternatively, if anyone knows the names of real-world instruments that sound similar, I could look around on my own.

I believe the sound of that "instrument" is just the game's "steel keg" Foley sound effect. They pitch-shifted it for musical effect. Try looking for a sound effect of a metal keg being struck.

Oh wow, I never noticed that despite playing all three of these games like a trillion times as a kid!

Nice catch!

So I recorded a few hits of my own, using one of those huge Christmas popcorn tins (it was left over from Christmas) and a couple of Mega Blocks.

They sound better than I expected. I'm no expert, but I did goof around with it a bit in Audacity and came up with two derivative versions--one that sounds like it might be usable as in Mining Melancholy with a little more work, the other that I just stumbled upon and sounds like it might work for UI button presses for a scifi game, lol.

They probably still need some more work, but hey, I feel like I'm on the right track at least!
