Apologies, cannot pick one.
1) rhythmic flutes (Clear and Present Danger, Braveheart, Legends of the Fall, Patriot Games, Devil's Own, Mask of Zorro)
2) echoing female synth vocal (Jade, Braveheart, Patriot Games, Red Heat, House of Cards)
3) shakuhachi (The Missing, Commando, The Mask of Zorro, Legends of the Fall, Thunderheart, Willow)

always liked the way he used the basic drumkit
When you say "basic drumkit", in the context of stuff like "48 Hrs." (or "Red Heat" or "Commando") where he had a small ensemble of known-name session players, that were experimental and/or improvisational?
right, mainly those, I love the 48hrs score, the drums are centre-stage for that one, and the Intrada release really nails the sound of the whole ensemble.
also Gorky Park, where tracks like 'follwing kgb' are carried by a rugged rock beat, not many composers get away with that kind of thing in my opinion, but it always sounded tough enough and removed from any time or trend in his case.
and yeah, in milder forms like Sneakers the less exotic percussion elements remain fluid and effective,
even in Field of Dreams, in the track 'deciding to build the field', when it's at its most hokey and cleaned up (as per the material) I could mark the sound of the beats as Horner's own.
i don't know how much he continued these styles in later years, i guess i ended up watching less movies in general, and he ended up with the kind of projects i don't lean towards anyway, so i'm just not familiar enough with much of the second half of his career.
