This has to be one of the biggest unanswered questions of all time...
What ARE those damn samples Eric Serra uses in pretty much all of his compositions? Especially that "hollow" metallic hit you can hear in almost every single piece of music he's ever created...
Just listen to the score of Goldeneye, The Fifth Element, Leon (to name a few), and you'll know exactly what I mean.
It's been driving me insane since 1995!

ROFL! I was thinking about that the other day. It's basically a very slowed down metal hit. What's making that clanging noise, I don't know, but I have reason to believe it's a tambourine. So basically, just slow down a tambourine sample and you have a pretty darn close sample of "The Eric Serra Metal Hit"...LOL.
Also, Eric Serra seem to use a lot of slowed down samples for his music. For example, speed up the very first song from the Fifth Element (the ambient scary song that plays during the opening credits) and you'll hear this overused door sound effect!
Another example of speeding up/slowing down samples in Eric Serra's music is the breakbeat song that plays in Fifth Element when Bruce Willis wakes up in the beginning of the movie. One of the vocal samples is actually a sped up cat meow.

What contest is this? For recreating the Eric Serra metallic sound? I've managed to almost exactly replicate it
I discovered one the classic Goldeneye sounds. The tambourine one is a patch called "Infinite One" from the EMU Proteus 2 sampler.
I uploaded a wav here:

EMU is now selling it for modern virtual samplers here:
