In Adrian von Zielger's 2020 Q&A video, he confirms at 1:01:36 his primary sample libraries. EWQL Goliath serves as the backbone to a lot of his compositions. He uses patches such as "Mens Choir ah MOD" and "Mens Choir Shouts" through tracks such as Wolf Blood. He also uses the strings, horns and likely many other patches from this library.

Ziegler confirms in his 2020 Q&A video to using EWQL Stormdrum, though he does not specify a version. Patches specific to Stormdrum (SD1) have been identified in tracks such as Wolf Blood, confirming the version to have been SD1, not SD2 or SD3.

In his 2020 Q&A video, Adrian von Ziegler confirms his core sample libraries. Best Service Celtic ERA is mentioned here. This library was used to create a more modern sound for the late 2010s/early 2020s albums The Celtic Collection III and IV. He has since returned to his older template on The Celtic Collection V.

During his early career, Ziegler and many of his contemporaries such as BrunuhVille here reliant on the Edirol Orchestral VST for the majority of orchestral elements in their work. In the track Legend (https://youtu.be/yj_wyw6Xrq4?si=_VnzMelhPcf69Qcd&t=4), the opening drums can be traced back to the SR-JV80-02 Orchestral expansion board for the Roland JV-series of synths and various CD sample libraries. These were included in the Edirol Orchestral VST which is how Ziegler had access back then.
