Bill Conti, composer for Rocky & Karate Kid, came to visit & we talked re: Emil Richards’ influence

This is the composer for all of the Rocky and Karate Kid films, Bill Conti. He used some of our instruments on his films and came to visit. He worked with the renowned Emil Richards, studio percussionist. Abby asked him what Emil’s influence was in film music.
We also asked this question to Danny Elfman, James Newton Howard, Michael Giacchino, and John Powell. You can see those here: • Percussion in film
