Free Crash Cymbal Buildup/Swells
View this Thread in Original format
cryophonik
I was just searching around my samples folder for some crash cymbals for DayTrader's thread and I found some long-lost reverse crash buildups that I recorded back in 2006, but I never did anything with them. A drummer friend of mine brought a his cymbals and mallets/sticks over one day and we recorded him playing some buildups. They're completely unprocessed and raw and probably need some cleaning up, but if anybody wants them, download away:

Consider them 100% open source, royalty-free, no credit/acknowledgement required, etc. Just don't say I never gave you bitches anything, aight? :p

Wow thanks!

I'd probably refer to these as cymbal swells rather than reverse crashes, but they'll still come in handy!

Thanks again ;)

Yeah, I agree! No problem - hopefully you can find a use for them!

Cymbal swells, buildups, are not easy to find. Specially custom ones. I'm downloading these right now. I'm glad they're uncompressed, I want a raw sound. Untill I find a drummer for my alt rock and modern rock tracks, I have to use sequenced one shot samples, so these will come in handy. I had to make my own swells before, using 2 alternating cymbal samples. I was able to pull it off, but having one made by a real drummer is preferred. Thanks much cryophonik.

Hey cryophonik, BTW, when are you getting back into the studio with Mia and Heather?

Glad you guys are liking these! These posts have me wondering what a cymbal swell played in reverse sounds like. I may have to try that later.

Next week. Mia is planning on recording your track(s) early next week, I believe. The singers are all making me go to a new club here tonight that has live mermaids! I'll find out more and PM you.

Just listened to the samples, I can definately use these. The ones toward the bottom of the list are scary sounding, in a good, eerie way. Sounds like a he used a china boy for some of those. Some of the others I have no idea, unless they were just the larger diameter cymbals.

I tried some of these swells in reverse, they sound about the same as forward, but toward the end you can hear reverse effect. Again, sounds eerie and evil. I like it.

Good to hear Mia will be recording my tracks next week! Would be nice if she can knock them both out at once.

Live Mermaids huh, sounds like a club SNL's Stefon would recommend. Sounds like a fun night out with the girls.

Well, they sound like a cymbal swell...but backwards! :P

Sorry, couldn't resist the smartass response there!
