"For the atmosphere of the plains, Zimmer claims he was inspired by expanses of telephone wires to hire a steel drum ensemble to pound out the action sequences in the score"
Actually, Mr reviewer, you are mixing two separate things:
- inspired by the sound of the wind on telephone wires, Zimmer used eight pedal steel guitars, in a classical way.
- observing the fact that a violin ensemble sounds way better than a solo violin, he decided to try it with drums, by creating a drum ensemble. The drum sound is indeed very powerful and one of the biggest sounds i've ever heard.
If this shortcut was deliberate, you must be ashamed you had to lie in order to bash a composer. If this was just a mistake, I suggest you to correct this section of your review, because anyone having read a Zimmer interview about this score will know you lie.
